"People Will Stare. Make It Worth Their While"

After weeks of preparation the fashion show was this Tuesday and Wednesday. On Tuesday morning the Cebridge Manor was definitely not ready which meant the TY's were needed to fix the place up. We spent the day painting the stage and stapling material to the side of the stage. It was very eventful, I had to go collect things which resulted in Ciara nearly getting hit in the head with a staple because Haven Hire didn't know how to use the staple gun and getting followed home by a creepy lady. By the end of the day though the Celbridge Manor looked fashion show ready.

The mini companies were selling at the fashion show which meant I was at the fashion show at 6pm (2 hours before the show started) We set up our stand and I got ready to dance and model. After that we were all just waiting for the show to begin which meant practising and stretching. Backstage was stressful to say the least. At one stage Sadbh and I had to put Anna's into a minute in less then a minute, we got it done but it was definitely stressful. 

Our dance went really well and all of the rehearsals were definitely worth it. 'Thinking Out Loud' will be stuck in my head forever now. Sadbh and I didn't forget the the dance or forget it so I'm very proud of us considering I had forgotten the dance earlier.

I was also a model for my some of my friends mini company 'Seem' I was modelling their jewellery and although backstage was stressful when we got on stage everything was fine, and everyone got a chance to see their jewellery. (You should buy some)

The fashion show was overall a success, my mini company (Casevana) sold quite a few cases and we have orders too. All the hard work everyone put in paid off and we had a fantastic show.

Vanishing Art

On Tuesday we went to an art exhibition in Carton House. The exhibition had pieces of art indoors and outdoors. We all got a map and Ciara and decided to be like tourists and walk around using the map. I ended up ripping the map thank to the wind. We saw lots of pieces of art like a pink T-Rex, dresses made of bronze, an owl made of paper and what Ciara and I like to call 'The Swag Man'.

We were there to look at the art but most people ended up looking at the Irish rugby team who were training there. I guess people classified them as moving art? I spent most of the day listening to Four with Ciara, stumbling into a fictional world(long story) and taking photos (yes we did take a selfie with the T-rex)

Thinking Out Loud & Casevana

Rehearsals for the fashion show have started and the countdown has begun. With only 3 weeks to go everybody is working hard to make sure we are all ready. I will be doing ballet in the fashion how along with other girls from different years. The ballet dance will be opening the wedding section of the fashion show so evryone is very excited for that. We have rehearals most lunch times and we also had a rehearsal after school on Thursday.

We are dancing to the Ed Sheeran song 'Thinking Out Loud.' We are still working on the dance as most of us are still learning it but we have gotten off to a very good start. I'm excited to see what the finished dance will look like and to see what the fashion show is like.

We are all currently working hard on our mini companies and my groups mini company is called 'Casevana' we will be selling custom made phone cases with a place to keep your headphones as well. We are ordering our first cases this week and after that it will be hard work to get all of the cases made and sold.
