Artsy fartsy and fancy shamancy. (Part 2)

Continuing on from previous post.

Right let's just make it clear. Artsy fartsy people?
Full of shit.

The House Elf and I were assigned to manned the guest registration of 'SPONSORS AND SPONSOR'S GUESTS REGISTRATION' which is a good thing. There are 5 registration counters all together: NOMINEES, JUDGES, TICKETS PURCHASED, BOH EXECUTIVES and mine is the last one. Dude, I am so glad that I get the SPONSORS counter because the shit that the people who manned the NOMINEES and JUDGES counters get is ridiculous. If a human being could die out of suffocation of the humongous egos occupying a single room, I would not be here typing this blog out. Take my word for that. I consider myself lucky that throughout the night I only had two people being rude to the House Elf and I. Seriously.

Anyway, I understand that this is an award show so for me to make a fashion comment is an absolute must. The clothes these people wore ranged from just fabulous to absolutely ridiculous. I saw this chick in this beautiful dress. It was two layered, champagne colour. The bottom layer was satin and shines when it catches light while the outer part is all lace, expensive lace, you could tell and it was sooo sexy yet elegant at the same time. The inner dress was beautiful but the lace outer makes it fabulous. And every time she walks you see it sways between her legs. Gorgeous.
Then there is just the ridiculous, this lady which I think is in her 40ties came dressed as a giant butterfly. Albeit an artistic, expensive butterfly but you know....dressing up as a butterfly is out once you passed the 5 year old mark. Its like Bjork all over again with that goddamn swan dress at the Oscars. And another lady- who yelled at me because I told her that I do not know where the smoking room is- wore this stupid ass outfit. Get this: Little black fugly dress. With fishnets (the ones that you see in Moulin Rouge, that goes all ziggyzaggy) and brace yourselves for this: PLATFORM BOOTS.

Uhh helloo... the Spice Girls called.
They want their boots back.


But even with all the madness and the ridiculousness and the stupidity, you can't deny the air of glamour that surround the night. If there's anything that could make any party glamorous, its the red carpet. And this one did. I love that carpet. Before the guests arrived we kept on walking on it for kicks. I wanted to lied down on it but as it turns out I don't have the balls for it.

Did saw some famous people. Ashraf Sinclair (model turned TV host), Zarbo (one of Malaysia leading comedienne), Jit Murrad (powerhouse in the theatre industry), Bernard Chauly (model turned actress, currently on the TV show: Gol & Gincu) and well lots more that I really couldn't be bothered with.
Unless Martin Scorsese appeared in front of me, than I'm not star struck.

All in all, it was pretty fun working the counter and watching these creatures known as artistic people and celebrities. I did managed to network and made some good impressions. So YAY for me!! Plus we got lots of free stuff as well. More than what the guests themselves get in their goodie bags coz what... we the 'help' did was well...lets just say the phrase 'daylight robbery' float into mind.
I refuse to elaborate more.
