Since homecoming is right around the corner, there are many events associated to it. Last Wednesday, the fourteenth, I went to the Old Jim to watch a fashion show. The show’s purpose was to give us, students, ideas what to wear during the homecoming game, bash, and clubroom. Of course, we were encouraged to wear buff and blue. The amateur models, who were Gallaudet students, would walk down the runway and show off their attire ideas.
Before I entered the Old Jim, everyone was forced to stand outside in the freezing rain for approximately thirty minutes after the show was supposed to start. After I finally went in, warmed up and paid, I was let into the room with the runway in the middle and a bar at the corner. The music was blasting, for a minute there I thought I magically became hearing. My chest was about to be ripped in half. At the bar, there were chocolate kisses and sparkling apple juice in plastic champagne cups for us to take. I grabbed some and found a seat in the back for it was already packed.
The first event was the showing of general buff and blue colored outfits on the models. After that was my favorite part. A woman named Sammi Kriegar gave an energized ASL performance of Rhianna’s Don’t Stop the Music. After that I was fairly glad I went because I was worried about my homework. Later there were two different performances from the dance group, Chaos in Motion. One was belly dancing from two women and another one was a revised dance number of Michael Jackson’s Thriller. They were pretty good.
I had to endure few more awkward runway walks and modeling with some interesting clothes before it was over and I could leave and do my homework. I enjoyed the song and dance performances and watching my friend do his catwalk, other than that it was ok. Now I know to wear buff and blue for homecoming and try to be as creative as I can be with my outfit.
