The Tibi show was thoroughly packed. People were waiting everywhere in order to get inside.
As the runway tape was pulled away & the music began, the opening of the Jane’s Addiction song, “Been Caught Stealing” began to play…
“OMG! They’re really using this? Holy GAWD! Let’s GO!” I thought to myself as the stage darkened.
However, I was soon to realize that, although it appeared as though every important New Yorker had come to observe the show… There was one very important person who had never bothered to show up; The Bass Angel. (Not to mention The Sound Guy!)
Just WHO is The Bass Angel, you ask? Well…
The Bass Angel is the angel who pumps up the bass in runway shows and gets the party started! The Bass Angel is the one who helps teach models to walk and take away all the fear. In his spare time, he watches over runway shows & makes sure that everything goes correctly.
He reaches, with a well trained fist, deep into that space in between your shoulder blades and grabs you. He holds you up, like a woman posessed, like a puppet. He uses his iron grasp in order to force your lungs & heart to expand and contract without your own will. Your eyes either go dead and look straight ahead, or they take on the look of a woman gone mad. (Why do you think models walk with shoulders waaaay too far back and hips thrust forward? They’re puppets for the Bass Angel! He’s simply holding them up, and waving them down the runway like toys.)
If you ask me, our dear Bass Angel never got an invite to this show! No one called him, sent him an e-mail, or even bothered to flirt with him. If anything, He completely abandoned this designer!
And it would appear that he was nowhere near this model either…
The clothes were tragically boring. The music didn’t fit the clothes. And the models looked like women Un-Posessed. See for yourself:
This one was rather ok though… It reminded me of high school…. LOL! A ‘90’s flashback! HA! Dreams of Detention and Catholic School Rebellion coupled with a Nine Inch Nails soundtrack and an ’83 Cougar come to mind…
Till next time Darlings! XOXOXO
