Entering the catwalk hall inside the arsenal, it was less than ten minutes before seven o'clock.
The hall was full of guests. Under the bright lights, many people were walking around chatting and socializing with each other. The little maid still recognized many familiar faces at a glance, especially a certain beauty Li from Hong Kong.
Dame Li, who was chatting and laughing with several Western men and women in the front row on the left side of the hall, also quickly noticed the little maid. However, after just one look at each other, Dame Li looked away as if nothing had happened and continued to talk to the person. She looked very fluent in English.
This attitude made the little maid quite depressed.
I made up my mind to study English immediately when I got back.
There was no rush to socialize, the little maid first looked for her place.
This is also a seat on the left side of the hall, close to the T stage exit, and the view is not very good. If it were other times, the little maid wouldn't mind. After all, this is the Victoria's Secret show that attracts global attention. It is very rare to get an invitation letter more than an hour before the show starts.
However, when she saw the back of Dame Li in the first row, the little maid suddenly lost her previous excitement.
I'm afraid of comparing myself to others.
That woman must have made preparations in advance, unlike myself.
Should have known.
well…
It's impossible to leave like this, it will only make the person in front happy. Fortunately, there will be no seating arrangement at the after-party later.
After gathering her mood, the little maid noticed that the countdown to the opening appeared on the big screen nearby. The staff reminded the guests to take their seats, so she completely gave up the idea of socializing and just nodded to the strangers on the left and right. She probably judged that there was not much communication value, so she Look at the camera positions in the hall and make sure that if you are photographed later, you must give the best possible posture.
After thinking about it like this, the guests in the hall were basically seated, but they couldn't help but glance at the guests in the front row.
Only the right side of the catwalk can be seen.
The first thing that caught the little maid's attention was Madonna. This European and American pop queen was chatting with the Hollywood actor beside her, Brad Pitt, who plays Superman in the recently released "Justice League: Invasion". , very warm.
The little maid also noticed the aggrieved look of the dressed-up girl who was supposed to be his girlfriend next to Brad Pitt, who was dissatisfied but did not dare to speak.
Some schadenfreude.
His eyes shifted, and not far away from the two of them was the famous female editor-in-chief of "VOGUE", Anna Wintour. The lady next to her with a very good temperament, the little maid happened to know her, the female head of Elite, it seemed. Their name is Grace Krepp, and both of them can be described as 'godmothers' in the Western fashion circle.
At the next after-party, if we meet, be sure to chat more.
While she was making a small calculation, the little maid suddenly heard a series of explosions, as dull as thunder.
How can there be thunder in winter
Just as I was a little curious, the big screen on the stage had switched to the street scene outside the arsenal.
Amid the screams and cheers of the large crowd, there were bright fireworks exploding in the sky.
In the hall, a magnetic male voice sounded: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2000 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show!"
After the host finished speaking, along with the flash of lights and spontaneous applause from the guests in the hall, shocking rock music sounded that instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The big screen screen switched again.
Against the background of the vast starry sky, a line of text appeared.
CHAPTER 1: THE UNIVERSE.
The little maid still knows these English words. The first theme of the show is 'universe'. Does this have anything to do with fashion
However, we also know that this batch of Victoria's Secret shows planned to be held for three consecutive years is mainly to welcome the new millennium, so the theme design of the show also fits a certain goal. Perhaps, this theme symbolizes human exploration of the universe and the endless starry sky above our heads.
Taking the initiative to make annotations in her heart, the little maid couldn't help but admire it. It was indeed full of imagination and not lacking in structure.
In comparison...
Um.
There is nothing to compare with.
The intro music lasted for a minute, paused briefly, and when it started again, the tune had changed.
The lights in the hall have also been dimmed, making it look mysterious and distant against the background of the starry sky on the big screen on the stage.
An equally mysterious and distant female voice sounded immediately.
This is an English song.
The little maid didn't understand the lyrics for a while, but saw that the first model as the opening act had already appeared on the stage.
This is Robert Chilko.
The little maid, who knew a lot about the unspoken rules of fashion shows, didn’t quite understand for a while. This... seems to be one of the latest six Victoria’s Secret spokespersons, but in terms of qualifications, let alone the other two Stephanie Seymour and Tai There is a gap between La Banks and even Fernanda Lima.
How can you let the other party go wide open
I don't understand, the little maid can only naturally attribute it to a certain man.
Maybe, this is a new favorite!
I have to say that this is because the little maid is too far away from the real core of the European and American fashion circles. At least, most of the Victoria's Secret Angels who can log on to the catwalk tonight, and even many guests in the hall, are well aware of this.
Of course, no one would be stupid enough to spread the word.
Those who know will naturally know, and those who don’t know will probably never know.
In short, when Roberta, wearing a dark blue three-meter-long cape studded with stars, stepped onto the T stage, there was a very warm applause in the hall.
Part of it is out of the current atmosphere, and part of it is to give this lucky supermodel face.
After all, being able to give birth to Simon Westeros's child is what he is capable of. Moreover, because of the attitude of a certain big shot towards this kind of thing, Roberta not only was not suppressed like other gold-digger girls in the upper echelons of the pyramid who wanted to rely on pregnancy to rise to the top, but also gained a rather transcendent status.
Just like this time, other models are eager to open up Victoria's Secret, let alone open up, even if they are on stage, they are willing to give everything. And a similar opportunity may just be Roberta Chilko's coquettish words in Westeros. , it’s easy to get it.
Moreover, looking at Roberta on the T stage, unlike other angels who use wings to highlight their identity, this time, the three-meter-long starry sky cape is obviously contrary to the norm, as well as a full set of customized headwear, BRA and shoes. The dream suit studded with various gemstones is like the coronation of a queen.
Other supermodels are simply incomparable.
Just like Stephanie Seymour, who came on stage next. Although she was wearing a typical winged angel outfit, many people noticed that when this veteran Victoria's Secret spokesperson passed by Roberta, there was obvious envy in her eyes. expression.
If this wasn't a Victoria's Secret catwalk where an accident might have affected her career, it's hard to say whether Stephanie Seymour would have moved slightly and pretended to step on that gorgeous cloak unintentionally.
This kind of overt and covert strife is quite common in the fashion industry.
However, when it came to Roberta, the key was that Stephanie Simorgan didn't dare.
In Vanity Fair, everyone's goal is to climb up and kill as many fellow travelers as possible. However, if someone has already climbed to the top of the mountain and you provoke them again, the possibility of hurting the other person is very small, and the other person may just throw a 'stone' If you come down, you will be thrown into the abyss.
The more glamorous the circle, the more primitive, intense, and even cruel the rules inside it are.
Otherwise, do you really think that anyone can earn millions or tens of millions of dollars a year simply by walking on the catwalk
There is no such easy reason.
Simon didn't arrive at the Armory on Lysington Avenue until after eight o'clock with Jack Welch, and it was already halfway through the show.
Entering the arsenal from the internal passage, he asked the staff to take Welch to the front desk to watch the show. Simon came to the backstage by himself, and another theme was about to begin. It was very busy here, and you could see the costumed angels who were about to take the stage on the T stage. The exits are lined up.
Simon's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Among the various greetings, Simon randomly found a couch for rest and just sat down, when Lyudmila Besonoskova walked through the crowd and jumped on Simon with a joyful face.
Holding the girl's slender waist and feeling the alluring girly body fragrance, Simon took the initiative to praise: "Mila is so beautiful tonight."
Lyudmila proudly raised her delicate chin, then lowered her mouth and said pitifully: "Simon, I'm so hungry."
The diet requirements of Victoria's Secret Angels are very strict, especially in the days leading up to the catwalk, they are not allowed to eat anything remotely related to carbohydrates.
Speaking of which, this is still the rule that Simon made originally.
In every Victoria's Secret show, the angels are more perfect and beautiful than other models in the show, which is not something that can be obtained casually.
Simon didn't mean to tear himself down, but just comforted him: "You can have a big meal later. Now, I really can't stand it. Now I'll help you replenish your mental energy."
He raised his head slightly as he spoke.
Lyudmila understood, leaned over and kissed her with a smile.
After struggling for a moment, Lyudmila was reluctantly pushed by the man and stood up: "Simon, I'm going to change into the next set of clothes. Besides, my sister is over there in the hall. She made an excuse to come to my show. Actually, she wanted to You're welcome, I'll have someone call her over."
Before Simon could say anything, the girl jumped up and left in a hurry.
Several other angels who had been paying attention here saw Lyudmila, whom they didn't like very much, leave, so they came together, namely 'Little Fox' Angela Lindwall, Yin Wanka and Stephanie Seymour.
Among them, Little Fox and Stephanie are two of the current Victoria's Secret spokespersons. The other four are Tyra Banks, Fernanda Lima, Roberta Chilko and the recently departed Lyudmila. .
Two are the first generation spokespersons, two are from the Mesozoic era, and two are from the New Generation.
In just these few years, a Victoria's Secret catwalk has come and gone, up and down, with old people crying and new people laughing, and it can even give people a feeling of a changing world.
After saying hello like this, another big goblin had already come over. The sofa was occupied, so he could only sit on the armrest of the sofa or stand behind Simon.
Simon held the little fox in his arms and asked Yin Wanka next to him with a smile: "Have you had any quarrels with your father recently?"
When Simon transferred hundreds of millions of dollars in stock assets to this girl's name, it directly caused a gap between a certain guy and his daughter. Even if the girl was underage at the time and had Simon's backing, she still refused to let go.
After all, hundreds of millions of dollars will never be used up in a lifetime as long as they are not squandered.
Simon asked, but Yin Wanka obviously didn't want to mention it: "We are no longer talking."
Simon just smiled.
In my memory, the father and daughter gradually broke up. Unexpectedly, this time it happened many years earlier. However, this time Simon does not intend to let a certain guy go to the White House to cause trouble again.
After chatting with other big goblins for a while, more and more people gathered here, almost tending to bury Simon. Seeing that the coordinating staff at the show looked helpless and afraid to speak, Simon took the initiative to drive them away.
After dismissing the big goblins all over him, he noticed the hesitant and slender figure of Yinfu Besonoskova not far away. Simon smiled and motioned to the girl.
Yin Fu, who was taller than most of the angels in the show, came over, straightened her back and sat down next to Simon in a formal manner, and then she remembered to speak: "Simon, I... I came to see my sister catwalk."
Simon smiled and said, "Are you starting to quibble before I even ask?"
Yin Fu's face suddenly turned rosy after being exposed to her thoughts.
Simon didn't continue to tease her. He turned his eyes and admired the graceful figures coming and going backstage of the show. He said casually: "How are you doing lately?"
recent…
I hesitated for a long time before I dared to run over. At first I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see her, and if I saw her I was worried that the man next to me would be unhappy. Fortunately, none of this happened.
So I felt a little satisfied inside.
other…
Nothing else.
Pretending to look at the crowd along with the man's gaze, he whispered: "It's been pretty good lately."
As she spoke, her body swayed slightly, and she realized that she couldn't touch the man next to her. She regretted that she had just sat further away. She had seen those girls jumping into his arms so boldly before. Well, she couldn't do it. of.
We watched the people coming and going backstage together for a while, it was busy but not chaotic, but I couldn't help but glance to the side.
Caught by Simon, he turned around and took a look, only to notice that the girl had shawl hair today, and shook his head slightly: "You are suitable for a ponytail."
Yin Fu: "Huh?"
Simon became interested: "Do you have a hair tie? I can tie it for you?"
Marry another Chinese name, Xi'er.
Yin Fu blinked and realized what was happening. She looked around in a panic and realized that she had just left her bag on the seat in the lobby. She dug into the pocket of the black OL suit but couldn't find it, so she became a little anxious.
I can't even handle such a small thing.
Seeing this, Simon waved to a staff member, quickly asked for a red ribbon to tie his hair, and said to the girl next to him: "Turn around."
Yin Fu glanced around with some embarrassment and turned around obediently. Thinking of her height, she leaned back slightly and tried to lower her body as much as possible to make it more convenient for him.
She felt a man's big hands clasping her hair, and a slight pulling sensation came from it, giving rise to a strange feeling inexplicably.
Her cheeks seemed a little hot.
She subconsciously wanted to reach behind her to help, but hesitated and then paused.
If you don't help, you can keep him busy for a while.
Simon was indeed a bit inexperienced in this kind of thing. He didn't tie it properly the first time, so he simply untied it and tried it a second time.
This made the other big goblins in the background look envious and disgusted.
Who is this
Although she was quite beautiful and so tall, why did she let Simon tie her hair himself
I really want to replace it!
Moreover, a certain man... Everyone is so dazzling tonight, so dazzling that it makes so many men want to commit crimes, but they can't even attract your full attention.
It's so abominable.

PS1: Recommendation... Well, I have a friend's new book, "Hongwu Survival Guide", a historical text. If you are interested, you can read it.
PS2: This book will continue. I could have finished it at any time. After all, I have finished everything I should and wanted to write, but the main reason is that I am reluctant to do so. I will continue to write occasionally in the future. After all, it took me five years to write this book, and it also continued the previous one. It was all because of my passing. of youth.
PS3: So if you read new books, try not to mention this. The book is in a kind of silence. I entertain myself and entertain everyone at the same time, and I don’t want more people to know. If more people know, they may disappear in the blink of an eye.
