strange
The new advertisement for Lancome with Emma Watson... well i truly feel for the girl. What a strange and long winded concept.
It reminds me of a very bad 1980's music video. I can't help thinking that this could have been good... but there's something about the bloke that doesn't quite fit with Emma Watson and the creepiness of her being chased through the dark slightly puts me off.... there's romance, and then there's just plain weird. Sorry Lancome....

Fantasy vs Reality
I never grow tired of these advertisements... but lets face it, if this happened to me, the guy would definitely be a drunk and most likely homeless... and probably just trying to get me to give him '20p for the bus'. Shame really... fantasy most definitely better than reality.
Va Va Voom for sure
My favorite advert at the moment. Showing Renault understand real beauty, but also the effect of music on an audience... this mash up of tunes sucks the audience right in

After recovering
It is very true that being an intern is truly the lowest of the low, and although I think my experience was definitely worth while, there is no way I will be doing it again in a hurry.
I'm guessing right now you are thinking, "Lazy student!!" Well, I beg to differ, if anything I wish I had more to do. There was a lot of waiting around, waiting for instruction. Don't get me wrong, the 16 hour shift at the end truly made up for it.... a bit too much! Smuggling brioches and cereal bars down my neck at any given opportunity was not my finest hour, and the moment when someone used my bottle of water for the steamer.... well it truly pained me, maybe it was because I was tired and becoming over emotional, I don't know.
I will tell you now... after working pretty much none stop for that amount of time, your mind turns to scrabble and even the simplest task becomes infuriating. For example, me attempting to tape together a box?... lets just not go there.
The fashion show itself was an incredible success! I was a model dresser backstage.. sounds simple doesn't it? Well trying to undress and re-dress a model twice your size in the space of 30 seconds? Not as simple as it seems. I was thoroughly over-ecstatic at myself when nothing went wrong! It was a strange atmosphere in the back room, seeing your model for the briefest of moments, the time filled with strange, motivational and teamwork speeches on both parts. For that brief hour I was hyped up to the maximum!
Here are some pictures taken during and after the show.
And my reward for my hard work????...... Buying a bloody big Burger King :)

Addy Van Den Krommenacker
About to start my internship with Jmodel Management. I have been lucky enough to get involved with the lead up and the main event of J Summer Fashion Show at The Savoy in London.
Here is one of the designers showcasing. I have taken a cheeky shine to these sensational designs, partly due to the soundtrack which seems to spark the feminist in you, but also because of the gorgeous 80's glam appeal and seductive textures. This designer has a way of showing off the female form through floating fabrics and uses the model as more than just a clothes hanger, but more as a personality.
