South Beach--Day 2

The morning started with all of us waking up and heading to our go-see appointments with some model agencies. We went to Next Models where we met up with Ron Gerard, an agent who showed us some of the girls. Although it was a bit of a challenge to find the perfect model due to the shows, we managed to find an awesome girl with an edge, Amanda Pizziconi, whom we chose for our shoot.

We then set off for a late brunch and then back to the hotel for a nap before hitting the shows. This evening is the True Religion swimwear show and I was highly looking forward to it. Julia and I got there and had second row seats, right behind Jeffrey Lubell. The show was brilliant, and by far, one of my favorites. Swimwear was made up of seersucker plaids and ginghams, as well as lycra denims. Backless shortsuits and hippie like inspired pieces with divine jewelry for women and simple solid patterns and prints for men. Music from the Jackson 5's to The Doors and Van Halen blasted the runway, it was a real work of entertainment!

The following show was the Red Carter swimwear, although we watched at through the big screen due to the tent hitting its full capacity and could not host several of their guests. Oh well, it was still just as lovely sitting by the poolside of the Raleigh with Julia and snapping away. We also visited Anetta who was working backstage of the shows where the press was pushing away for their coverages and stories.

The night continued with some more after parties and then hanging out on the strip where we came across this guy who had a white rat!!!! I freaked out, but Julia happily played around with it, Sophia was her name. We then went back to our room and called it a night!
