Here’s a video from A Fashion Show on Saturday, snagged from Ayoka’s article on CharlestonMag.com. You can see me do a quick walk by at the 4:50 mark. So glad I’m not actually talking in this one. Talking emphasizes my dumb side.

Do yourself a favor and listen to this amazing Little Boots remix my friend Nick made for tonight’s show.
Love love love it!
Before the show, I listened to the track on repeat all day long because I was nervous about walking too fast. It was stuck in my head forever after that, but I didn’t care. I’ve listened to it a few times since then, and I’m still not sick of it. Most likely it will end up being a nostalgia thing.
The other day, I reblogged Charleston City Paper and mentioned I would be walking in A Fashion Show on Saturday. Well, it ended up being a lot of fun, and I absolutely loved all of Erin’s pieces. She did an amazing job, and I was so happy for her afterward when many people stopped me to say that the look I was wearing was their favorite in the show. This picture does the skirt no justice, so hopefully more pictures from the show will surface soon. I really wish I could have kept it.
Heather Koonse, owner of the Rose Knot, an alteration and custom design studio on King Street, is hosting A Fashion Show at City Gallery at Waterfront Park this weekend. The night will feature collections from Koonse, Margaret Chandler, Kim Hines, Shelley Smith, Michael Wiernicki, and Erin Perkins (or highheelsandtwowheels to all you Tumblrs out there).
I’m going to be modeling for Erin in the show, and I’m really hoping I don’t embarrass her by falling on my face or throwing up all over her beautiful clothes. Honestly, though, I’m far more excited to see her finished pieces than I am nervous. I have another fitting today, so I’m looking forward to seeing how things are coming along.
