ch ch ch chuffed

ima happy bunny. Fashion week approaching- as always really looking forward to it but im preparing myself for a week of extreme exhaustion. This season im doing something totally new for Fashion Week. My tutor has asked me and 4 others from the first year to work with her at Julien Macdonald for 3 days and nights. note- NIGHTS. We have been warned of long hours and hard work. Ill be doing 2 days before the show working on the collection fittings with the models (ooooo beautiessss at my finger tipsss) and then the day of the show. Im expecting to be a nervous wreck relying on the good old rescue remedy cos i wont be able to sew shiiiiiittt under pressure and sleep deprived. I going to sleep so much this week in preparation. Anyway im really pleased that Anette actually trusts me enough to pick me! all expenses paid whoop whoop = Coffee coffee coffee : ) I hope I can hack it, i heard from people who did it last year that they slept in shifts- 2 hours each then up you get and back to work...... wish me luck pretties, i expect ill look like death warmed up by the end of it all. Oh Joy!
