I've always wanted, since I was a kid, to go to Fashion Cares(annual fashion gala to benefit the AIDS Commitee of Toronto). I used to watch Fashion Television and say, "I'm gonna be there one day and get involved!"
Well, you're looking at the photography coordinator for the backstage area of Fashion Cares (annual AIDS benefit Fashion Gala in Toronto)! I shall be on the exclusive MAC Cosmetics Team.
I got offered the position tonight!
I get:
-to coordinate the models and photographers in regards to the MAC promotional photo shoots happening before the models go on the runway and to make sure everything runs smoothly backstage-wise
-all-access to the show and all VIP areas
-to schmooze with industry contacts (she said this will definitely give me more opportunities)
-a WICKED thing to put on my resume
-to go to the media launch party this wednesday with one of the co-chairs (I'm gonna be her date) and schmooze with MTV, MUCH, Fashion File, the models, Fashion TV and others so that I can get acquainted with everyone, I guess
-shoot my own stuff backstage whenever possible
And to top it off, I just found one of my dad's wicked 70's skinny pinstripe suits. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on clothes for a charity fashion event. I rather donate the money to AIDS prevention that I would've spent on a suit or pants or whatever.
I AM SO HAPPY about this!!!
Yay!
