A cigarette in a backstage.

Let me squeeze this as a little sneak overview of Bitola Fashion Week that was going on last week in Macedonia. First let me cry about the fact I didn't get the chance to lay my hands on the fashion magazine where my photo of the Unsuitable Farmgirl was published on their cover (yes, second international cover!) - but I hope that we still get that copy, right, Davorka?:)

However, the scene was still quite some fun! I suppose one of the highlights was the gorgeous make up Tinka Pobalinka did on W&S models. (Must note here, I was helpful too - I personally assisted her preparing the eyelashes from the white hen, haha!) And the other highlighting fact was being able to smoke in the backstage while waiting for models to get ready! Okaj, even if it was not the fabuuuulous NY all over the place at least I had lots of Mad Man moments in the ex Yuga!;)
But get ready for this: my ultimate winner of Bitola fashion week experience was that we discovered that some Macedonian models uses glue for their protruding ears for the catwalk!! (UHO lepilo, anyone?) Yes, they actually do that and it's not even a big deal to them! How about that??

So, cheers to cigarettes at the backstages BUT the protruding ears with no glue, please! And another wish: the fashion backstages all around the globe should have a huge bar of free gin tonic and a bag of chips for everybody! ;)
