INDEPENDENT PROJECT # 22 (a.k.a. FIN)
success in so many words, i cannot get all the words to come out right anyways.
but after a week and two days. i still feel a buzz. i still have people messaging me telling me they'd like to be my friend because they were in attendance of my show. i still have people apologizing for not coming. i still have models telling me they had a blast.
things to do differently:
* take more time to make better clothes. i know people say they loved them, but i could make them love them more.
* buy a sushi platter for my models and volunteers so they wouldn't be hungry AND nervous before the show
* build up a little more hype. bring out more people. do it when there are no finals looming over head.
* send more thank you cards than i have. but i think i will just go get some more today and make an event of card writing today.
* start the show a little later, to make the party go a little longer.
* make sure no one loses their keys.
* remember ALL the things i wanted to say, but either forgot at home, or just forgot. the bright light was impairing not only my vision, but the quickness of my brain. there were lotsa thank you's i failed to thank. but i made up for it with home made cards. collaborative efforts of terra and myself.
* sat down and thought more thoroughly the other roles needed to put on a fashion show. but of course, i didn't realize i needed them until they came up. like tung for pinning, alicia for directing which models come out when and who with.
* got a raised stage-ish area for people to see stuff more clearly.
* explained a few of the outfits a little better. i forgot to read some of them, which i know i'm probably the only one who noticed.
* when do i stop? at least i know that this was a learning process from beginning to end. i found out which were key roles that needed to be played in putting on an event like this one. and i know which roles are key that i myself should be playing. i loved every moment of it, i want to do it again!
