Lights, Camera, Action was the theme for tonight. TJJ arrived at The Garden Sanctuary, Center of Excellence at 8 p.m. on Saturday the 14th of October in support of Model Facts agency launch... a modeling show entitled "Walk with Me with Style and Soul"; sounds sensational doesn't it.

On entry there was a mini bar on the right and a table with finger food on the left. Everything was 'on the house', so we planned to take full advantage of it that night (with intentions of doing our jobs at the same time of course **wink**). There was a modeling ramp at the centre and on either sides of this ramp were chairs for patrons; who were divided into guests and special guests (special guests meaning us... hehe). We were ushered to our seats, which were at the lower left of the stage. We sat at a table covered with a white tablecloth and a big fish bowl which had two live, yes live, fishes... niceeee.

The DJ for the night, Morpheus Entertainment, was to the left, not to far from us, playing tunes to our modeling hearts' desire. The scenery was exceptional, the lighting perfect (well it was not perfect for taking photos as the runway was too dark, so we apologize for the quality of pictures) and the night was peaceful; Mother Nature was letting us have our way. The event was supposed to launch at 7:30 pm, but got underway around 8:20 pm – some of the designers were running a little late.

The hosts Russell Wilkinson and Stephen Hadeed came on around 8:30 pm. They introduced themselves, welcomed the crowd, who, by this time, filled most of the seats and then proceeded with the show.

There were male and female models from all different designers such as Lara Creations, Matrix for Men, KAJ Designs (Tobago), W.S. Designs (Barbados) just to name a few. The male and female models walked the ramp as though they were in the running to be Trinidad and Tobago's Next Top Model. Impressive!! The crowd, including ourselves, loved every minute of it.

There was an intermission after nine so... we took out some more pictures, socialized with the crowd and models, who were very welcoming indeed. Unfortunately, we made our way out a little earlier than expected, being exhausted from the night before and having to go out again early the next morning.

MODEL FACT – The glamorous world of modeling... hmm; this fashion show turned out – as they would say in modeling terms - SUPERB! SPLENDID! MARVELOUS! FABULOUS! But in spite of the glamour and popularity this profession looks as though it requires a lot of hard work, dedication and sacrifice. A little advice to you models (or aspiring models) from TJJ... don't give up, when you get frustrated and things don't go your way; be mentally and emotionally strong – and well not to mention fit to walk that ramp!

Thank you Model Facts for having us there and for taking great care of us. Until next time... Walk that body! Talk that body!
