Trelise Cooper Kids 'Once upon a time'…


On Friday 25th of September 2009 Trelise Cooper Kids held a catwalk show in the city near the Viaduct.  The catwalk itself was magnificent, the "carpet" was pages out of story books with bunches of mini carrots scattered around waiting for cardboard bunnies to spring into the air.  The entrance was wonderful with large hardback books against the wall and one out of place book in front.

At the beginning a cute little soldier came out of the entrance and opened the front of the book to form a posh walkway.  Out came the girls, either wearing glamorous white princess dresses or groovy tight jeans, the look stylish.  Also, to make it even cuter, they were wearing sneakers from gold sequins or red cherries, they looked good with their outfits.


Most of the older girls were dragging their mates behind them, so eager to show off.  But then again the little girls were so overwhelmed with clapping and flashing of cameras! They got so shy and scared they would start to cry, so dainty little fairies would come and pick them up and tiptoe backstage.

Some of my favourites were:

Eating cookies and chocolate in the goodie bags
Two Indian girls going rather slow, one wearing a red frilly dress and the other a black skirt and tee-shirt with sequins.
