Elie Saab

Yeah... outside Elie Saab, and I've got the funniest story to tell. Me and some of my friends were outside the show trying to get some good pictures, and in the mean time, while the show was going, we decided to take pictures of ourselves, you know.. doing the funny poses and everything, and while we were in it we were talking about how a friend of ours has such good connection with the camera is impossible to take a bad picture of her, it doesn't matter if she's making the most ridiculous face, her name is Elina. By the time the show was over and the people started to come out, we saw a tall redhead being followed by, and I'm not exaggerating, more than a dozen of photographers, I don't think even Jessica Stam has gone through that!, we couldn't see her face, and while we approached the spot, we all just froze, while realizing that the flaming redhead was indeed our good friend Elina Mauno, yeah... our Elina:
1st thought that entered my mind: Since she's been doing some modeling in Finland, I guess she just walked the show and didn't tell us she was going to do so
2nd thought: she's a superstar in Finland and she hasn't told us.
3rd thought: she's secretly a multimillionaire socialite and hasn't told us.
4rd thought: there wasn't really a 4th thought, I just stood there and I didn't even realize when the words had come out of my big mouth:- "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

While I shouted that in the middle of the Tuileries' gardens confusing the camera guys, another friend stood pointing her finger at Elina screaming "You sneaky!!". The photographers looked confused for a second, and then they kept taking pictures of her, they just assumed she was a model that had walked the show, plus she had great style so I don't blame them. Yeah... my good friend Elina and a friend of hers had sneaked into the show, what led to the next conversation:

Friend: Elina, how the hell did you get in?!
Elina: I just handed him my student card and he let me in
Friend: Wow!.. so fashion people really are stupid!

After thinking that I was gonna dye of laughing so hard, I explained to my inexperienced friend, that fashion people are everything but, they are people of aesthetics, and the truth is that Elina Mauno is a gorgeous girl and it wouldn't have mattered if she had handed him a "post-it" with her name written by a 4 year old and a happy face as an official ID, they would've let her in anyways!

Oh yeah, and Elina Mauno is the very first pic you see here. We all love you Elina!!
