STYLO KL Opening

the last few weeks have been havoc and mayhem in the office:
- everyone was working overtime to finish up the clothing collections
- dancers practicing along the hallway
- models coming in and out for casting and fittings
- icons/local celebrities coming in for fittings
- i had a major headache with the invitations and guest list
- screaming fights and tantrums being thrown left, right and center
- the VM team have been working like mad to prepare for the venue set up of the Maharaja tent and stage

and there was no less drama at the event itself. backstage, of course. diva models, fashion director screaming at the head hair stylist, etc. tension levels were on an all-time high.


backstage as dressers: phoebe, alice & vickiie

warning: mini bitching

i have to say, STYLO's organisation this year was extremely poor compared to last year. the doors were supposed to open at 9pm.

at 8pm, the STYLO crew were still banging around and setting up the venue. they hadn't even finished putting up the wallpaper. our first guest arrived at 8pm (yeah, eager beaver!) and we had to shoo him out because we weren't ready yet.

we were supposed to be given food vouchers to redeem food, but that somehow disappeared into thin air. everyone was sweaty, tired, starving and angry. our operations manager ended up standing at the food counter paying for us by cash.

and so many other things that would just bore you, so i won't. =p

end bitching
