Catwalk on the sidewalk

Saturday June 11th I had the privilege of modeling in a Francis Roces fashion show. Since I have been modeling with Fashion Denver, I have become very familiar with his designs and unique creations. I am proud to say his line is one of my favorites to model. After participating in the Spring Market event in May, Francis graciously asked if I would walk in his show. The show took place @ Lumos and Nox a local boutique which sells local designers clothing and accessories. The show was scheduled for 8 pm and hair and make-up was scheduled for 4 pm. Mad Thanks to the staff of Rebelle Salon and Proper Barbershop. You all hooked up the models big time. The combo salon/barbershop is located at 39th and Tennyson, blocks away from what used to be the original Elitch Gardens.

I reported to Proper Barbershop to get my hair faded. Big ups to Junior Barraza who hooked me up with a mohawk high fade, taking my two weeks of uneven hair down to my bare scalp. Nothing like feeling so fresh and clean after a fresh fade. After hair, I waited in Rebelle Salon for make up. The theme of the show was "Tokyo Street Fashion" so each model was painted with various bright colors and designs. My face was a graced with a bright stripe of yellow and orange across my eyes. Shout out to Carly Isbell for hooking me up along with the other models. As you can see from the pix, everyone's hair and make up came out bad ASS!! After make up was done I grabbed a bite to eat with a fellow model, then hurried home to shave.

When I arrived at Lumos & Nox located at 3107 E. Colfax, I was pleased to see the catwalk was being set up outside the shop. The green astro turf was being placed on the sidewalk just feet away from the Saturday evening madness going down on Colfax. After all were dressed we began the show to some Tokyo Pop mix Francis personally chose. All models walked the green turf and posed for the numerous photographers gathered along the sidewalk outside of the boutique. We then posed for group photos with the ever so talented Francis, himself. Thank you to Made Photography who took the awesome group picture. I look forward to working with Francis soon along with my fellow models: Tawanda, Antoinette, Jeremiah, Mandy and Goofy. We definitely worked that catwalk on the sidewalk!
