NUGSS Fashion Show An Event For All

By Michelle Berard

For ail those that missed the
NUGSS Valentine’s fashion
show on February 10, you
missed one heck of a good
time. Most of the clothing,
sponsored by The Bay, were
laid back outfits that could
easily be worn to school, with
the exception of the lingerie
and pajama section.

NUGSS also did a wonder-
ful job of transforming the
upper cafeteria into a room
filled with atmosphere. They
had large flower arrange-
ments, courtesy of Growers
Direct, placed at the foot of
both staircases, and covered
all the tables with bowls of
valentine's candy, samples of
Estee Lauder’s Pleasures (in
both its male and female
forms), and cute little teddy
bear shaped confetti.

Each model showed off
three outfits, each of which
they had had the freedom to
choose themselves, unless
the clothing had already been
picked by another model.
The Bay made a pointed

effort to show off each line of
jeanswear they carried. The
models also tossed on an
article of UNBC clothing over
their outfits for the first round
of the floor. The first outfits

modeled were basically jeans -

and casual clothes, the sec-
ond being slightly dressier,
and the last being lingerie
and PJ's.

The braver models (and the
clowns) were easy to spot in
the last round, as they strut-
ted their stuff in boxer shorts
and chemises. Each model
was given a white rose to

present to a member of the

crowd. Some models pre-
sentations went a little over-

‘board, as they passed the

rose to audience members in
their teeth, jokingly hit on
other models grandmothers,
and slid down the bannister.
The models were given gift
bags at the end of the
evening containing items
such as_ perfume/cologne,
makeup bags, and socks.
These were povided by The
Bay as a token of
their appreciation
for the models’
participation. The
Bay also offered a
discounted price
on clothes worn by
each model, if the
models were inter-
ested in purchas-
ing them. Pretty
good deal for one
evening’s work - or
play.
Allin all, it was an
extremely fun
evening, and |
would __ certainly
recommend
checking out
another fashion
show put on by
NUGSS. | would
also recommend
volunteering to be
model, since
they had as much
fun, if not more,
‘| than the audience.
