The Runway
Posing for Marie Claire, Vogue, Elle
Wearing only Prada, Valentino, Channel
Popping diet pills, pink pedicures, scent of perfume
There’s nothing interesting about looking perfect
But life is too short to blend in to a room
Portfolios, 8x10 headshots
Waiting for callbacks
Signing contracts
You are now the client’s doll
Cameras flashing
Model castings
Constantly traveling
New York City
Paris
Milan
Style is about
Individualism
Inspiration
Image
Each time, it’s all about your I-deserve-it attitude
Or the way you strut
Looking fabulous and fierce, full of confidence
While faces watch from a front row seat
Dress me, I’m your mannequin
Cotton, lace, satin
Makeup covered skin
And the designers are only behind the scenes
Creative masterminds
Excitement running through their very beings
The music starts
To the left, you hear a woman shout go
You stomp out onto the catwalk
Heels pounding on the hard platform
With a head-turning, heart-stopping posture
All eyes on you
Tall and sensuous
A smoky eye and hair styled
Looking stunning and powerful
The point of focus
Blood rushing through your veins
Like an adrenaline junkie
You live for the fame
As you exit the stage
You take off running
Clients grabbing you, undressing you, restyling you
Hairspray, powder, shoes
Two minutes
And you’re back, working it,
A completely new look
