Lores Giglio Fudge Hair Expo Show

Yesterday was a huge day for me at Hair Expo. Three shows in one day! Early call times on a Sunday should be illegal. My last show for the day was the Lores Giglio for Fudge hair show at the Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre, which was part of the Generation Next Hair Expo show.
When I arrived it was all systems go! I had seven people working on me at once prepping my hair, doing makeup and doing my finger nails and toe nails!
My hair was first crimped, then had huge hair pieces attached to my head, then my real hair wrapped around it, sprayed black and then had blue, green and purple hair pieces pinned around sections.
I was styled in a fabulous Romance Was Born black and gold body suit and long skirt, lace leggings and sequin covered rainbow shoes.
The show was great and all the hair creations looked amazing!

 Yes. That is my real hair. Crimped within an inch of it's life!

Back to NZ!

Day 1:
It was that time of year again...time to head back to beautiful New Zealand for the summer fashion shows! This time the team and I headed to Christchurch. We've been there so many times now we know our way around the city so well! We landed at the airport, dropped our suitcases off at the hotel and headed straight to the venue for an afternoon of fittings and rehearsals.

Day 2:
We had the morning off so it was time for some retail therapy and some exploring around Christchurch! In the afternoon we headed to the venue for hair and makeup before the VIP night fashion show. I had a little 50's inspired floral swimsuit outfit complete with a white rubber swimming cap covered in flowers...I'm pretty sure I've seen photos of my grandmother in a similar outfit! Haha! After the show my roomies and I ordered room service and watched some movies.

Day 3:
More shows today followed by DIY mani & pedi's in the hotel room and the yummiest dinner with the Aussie cast members of the show at a little Italian restaurant just a short walk from our hotel. I didn't catch the name of the restaurant but I'm sure we'll be heading back there next time!

Day 4:
Last day of shows today and we definitely did our best shows of the week! So much fun! After the last show we headed straight to the airport, our flight was delayed for a half hour but we were soon on our flight back to Sydney. We landed and I had to rush straight to the Con Pasion and Crystal Boudoir shows suitcases and all! I was so exhausted after two fashion shows, two contortion shows and an international flight I crashed in to bed the second I got home. zzzzzzzz

Auckland show

Last week I flew out to New Zealand for a fashion show in Auckland. It was a very quick trip with lots of fittings and rehearsals so not much sleep was had but it was so fun to travel with a big bunch of my friends. We get booked on the same shows a lot of the time so it makes trips like this lots of fun!
We had to be at the airport at stupid o'clock (translation: around 4:30am) for our flight, this was followed by lots of duty free shopping of course! We landed in Auckland, dumped our bags at the hotel and spent the night in fittings and rehearsals. The following evening was the show so the afternoon was spent in hair and makeup with a quick run through backstage. The show went really well, I had a few issues with some misbehaving accessories, but it was fun! One outfit I wore in the show was a bra and matching satin pants with big white angel wings which were decorated with real flowers, ribbons and crystals! The wings smelled like a big bunch of flowers!!
