After 300 hours of preparation, work, thinking, mastering my mind as to be prepared to the wagon that was going to hit me, here and after called the Dolce&Gabbana SS11 Fashion Show, I was indeed prepared at least for one thing: wearing heels while running around doing interviews. I started wearing heels on Wednesday to get used to the idea, but in the end I was definitely bionic if not as tall as the models. Yes some missions are impossible.

While I was interviewing beauties such as Alessandra Ambrosio and Natasha Poly, my mouth kept watering for the sandwiches they had prepared for “us”. Needless to say by the time I got to them they were gone. (Who said models didn’t eat?)

A phone call to my best friend during a toilette break – exactly 2 seconds – pleading for an ego boost, and I was back on track. I had to be: Domenico Dolce was saying “lets go!” to the girls, so I ran out of the bathroom in panic, no I didn’t fall. But it was a false alarm, still 40 minutes to the show.

Hugs and kisses with the models, a bit tricky especially since I was wearing a clownish red lipstick and they were ALL WEARING WHITE, who had already seen a lot of the funny me trying to look the part. Did I mention my heels were almost as big as I am, and this is not because they were that high, but for the simple fact that I am small. While the designers’ assistants were running around to fix the models’ shoes to avoid some gliding off the heels during the show. So you can just imagine my relief when I was carried, pushed, called, dragged upstairs to the VIP room to interview Kylie Minogue.

There at least I was pretty comfortable, nothing of the hectic preparation that goes on backstage. Kylie and her entourage were chilling on the sofas while waiting for the show. I was asked to be discreet until I was allowed to interview her. Wallpaper is something I try to do well so I waited patiently.

I kneeled down and there she was talking to me. Well not to ME, but to Swide. During the entire interview I kept thinking damn what a great skin. I am not sure what I asked her, I guess we will have to wait to see the video, but get this, she said: “You can get off your knees now” and touched my arm while walking as if we had been friends FOREVER.

(Meanwhile in the corner, spotted: Naomi and Bryan Boy doing an interview).

I feel almost famous.
