A Charity Night Out

Last night mom made us all go to an event in Da Vinci. From the moment I saw the invitation, instantly I knew how the night would be. Boring and pretentious. The invitation says to wear formal nightgown and tux for the male. It clearly speaks for itself.

When we arrived, the room was half filled with Caucasians, older gentlemen with their spouses. Most Indonesian women wore over the top long dresses with extreme makeups and big hairs. Typical.

They were auctioning a Baldi table, supposedly made one in the whole wide world by Baldi. The table was given by Baldi as a gift to be auctioned by Da Vinci. The money would go to charity for disaster victims. The starting price was 180 mil rupiah. It was sold to the owner of Da Vinci for 450 mil rupiah.

I wonder if the owner simply wanted to 'raise the stake', having no intention to buy the table when she raised her hand. But alas, no one caught her bluffing and she had to buy it in the end? Hahahaha. At least it goes for good deed.

Oh and there was the fashion show. A collection by Harry D ar sono. The clothing wasnt exactly my type, but the atmosphere was great. The background music was Chinese + Budha Bar songs, flattering the entire Chinese inspired collection. Some of the models were absolutely gorgeous. There's this one model who was very very pretty. She had this air of elegance and poise when she walked pass. Having the privilege of sitting right next to the stage, I looked up at her in awe. She was so.. Beautiful and close.

But as I look down, her feet were trembling. I dont know if its due to the heels of if she's cold of whatever. But then I realized that this beautiful creature walking pass me is also a human being. Despite her seemingly glamour and absurd image, she was too a human. A human that may get coldfeet walking on a stage infront of the crowd. A human that also has flaws.

Arent we all?
