On Sunday noon there was the rehearsal for Brigitte More's fashion show, which would take place at the ball in the evening. Like always she prepared a real kind of show, and not just girls walking the line one by one. Our show would be the headliner fashion show so I was proud to be part of this. It's the third year in a row that I'm walking for Brigitte at Fetish evolution, and always a pleasure to work with her.

After the rehearsal I had to go back to the hotel to get my hair and make-up done by Mariska de Jong. The make up was very nice and included a smokey eyeshadow with grey, black and metallic green. For the hair they chose a high ponytail and lots of curls. I think this was a hairstyle which doesn't really suit me (Not a big fan of curls + too much volume on and around my face), but it was definitely fitting for the show. Like always, having make-up and hair done involves a lot of waiting, and it was already very late afternoon by the time I was done.
There were several stands I still wanted to see at the expo, so we filled two more hours with strolling around there. Then back to the hotelroom to choose my outfit for the ball and getting some food, and off to the venue! We (Me-Chiel, Tony Mitchell, Stéphane Roy, Lotte Groeneweg, Lara Aimée, and myself) squeezed in all together in Michiel's little car (it was a fun ride for sure!) and arrived a little bit later at the MudiaArt. Earlier that day we were told to NOT come via the main entrance but take the backstage entrance. But we waited and waited (while it was freezingly cold in just a little latex dress!) but no-one answered the door. In the end we returned to the main entrance, which is a quite far and uncomfortable walk on high heels in a latex dress. Once arrived there the security men sent us back to the backstage entrance because we *really* had to be there. They ensured us that someone would come to open the door now. But after returning to the backstrange entrance, and waiting again, no-one came to open the door! Unbelievable... So we returned again to the main entrance and got in finally. But when we wanted to enter, the woman at the pay desk made problems and didn't want to let us in (while we had model & backstage passes). We decided to just run and make our way to the backstage. It wasn't a good moment for her to make stupid problems after letting us wait half an hour outside in the cold ;-)
Time to get ready for the catwalk show then. It was again a long time waiting before we could finally be on stage. But at least there could be plenty of nice company found in the backstage while waiting.
For the show I wore a dark pewter with black ensemble.
For the people who were there; I hope you enjoyed the show :)
Personally I think Brigitte More is very talented and made a great collection again.
By the time the show and the finale (involving all the models/designers/organizers) were done, it was after 3 a.m. I went to the backstage to change from my show-outfit to my party-outfit and got ready to start the real party.
Since it was already really late, the party didn't last long. But it was good!

It got really late and drunk so we didn't go to bed before 8 in the morning. Luckily after the ball there's always a brunch (until 3 p.m.!) instead of a normal (early) breakast.
The rest of the day was really relaxed and I drunk a lot of coffee, haha.
In the evening there was the pool party. It took place in the swimming pool area of the hotel.
I chose a black&white outfit to wear in combination with a classic hairdo plus vribrant red lipstick. When we arrived at the pool party there were not many people present. I decided to take a little swim but the water turned out to be cold (!). Not very nice... But I took a swim anyway and enjoyed it. The feeling of latex in water is just very pleasant and exciting. Not for too long though because it was really too cold to stay in.
So time for a sauna visit then! The sauna was full unfortunately so we went inside the steam cabine. It was nice, wet, and hot. I really enjoyed this and stayed in for more than half an hour. It was also a very special experience wearing latex. This was the first time I did this, but certainly not the last :)
In the wellness area were also some heated foot baths. So of course I enjoyed this too...and it was very pleasant and also relaxing.
The pool party wasn't much of a party but it was a nice way to end this weekend for sure.
The next morning it was time to pack and go home. We checked out right after the breakfast and decided to group together with Belgium Marc, Jennifer, and Ifhegemeia Bernheart. (Marc has been so kind to offer us a ride to and back from Essen). Before to leave back home we would visit Villa Hügel, the house of the well-know german family Krupp.
It was a very interesting visit and nice surprise being located so very close to the hotel. I've been to Essen for several years now but never realised there was such an interesting place so near there.
Here are some pictures:
