but, why we were actually there

the hairdressing competition.
it was super fun. we came in the top ten somewhere.


here's a pictorial summary.


below. this is the only picture that kind of made me feel like a model, because i look quite tall.
and confident. ha ha.

below. candice is so darn gorgeous in this photo. pity she will never see it because she never visits my blog. :)

we got to go back to the hotel in the evening just for a couple of hours before the announcement of the winners. in that time i managed to fall out of the bus and crack my rib.

back at the venue. the lady in the middle is sybil from wella.

this lady is the other south african competitor, audrey.

below.i adore this picture.

at the after party, there was no digestible food, but there was loads of wine.

this car we found in a little street in lisbon, and hated ourselves for not having. well i did. i think it would have gone great with my dexter.

self portraits.

candice, leslie and i. we caught ourselves in a moment of frolicsome filly-like-ness. (i made a new word!)

ducks.

lisbon, 2008.

i was more amused by these ducks in a pond than by the museum they were outside of, alas. i hate to admit that. but look how pretty they are.
