So my first internship week turned out to be another holiday week for me. The Sunshine Coast Daily couldn’t take me so instead I was supposed to go to Brisbane News for three days. After my first afternoon they didn’t need me anymore… how nice. But the one afternoon that I did was very exciting. Brisbane News fashion writer Lizzie needed help with picking up frocks to a fashion photo shoot. So when she called me and asked if I was available for that day I didn’t need to think twice if I already had some plans, those plans could wait. I headed to their office in Bowen Hills to meet Lizzie. We got some fabulous dresses from the shops at Whitegarden shopping centre. The photo shoot took place at a rooftop over looking the city.   As I was helping the camera woman to make the dresses look more fluffy by keeping the hem up, and helping the model to change her outfits and   helping out with lighting I really knew this is what I want to do. I did realize that already when I was covering the Brisbane fashion week a month ago, but now I felt it even more strongly. Well, of course I do want to do more than just hang on to a dress but you know what I mean. When I was looking at the model working with the camera and doing her pose I really felt how the coke I’d had just before the shoot was making me fat right in front of me, never felt so fat in my entire life…

So because that is all I’ve experienced so far from my internships I want to tell you how the rest of my week went ’cause now it’s getting interesting. I fell in love… with a pair of shoes. This is a really tragic story with a happy ending. I first saw them when my dear friend needed help picking up some presents from a mall. It was love at first sight! They fit perfectly and looked like they were born to be on my feet. But I couldn’t dare to buy them. (I just had spent way too much money for my new clothes to be worn at my Marie Claire internship next week.) So I put them back on the shelf and left. I felt horrible, I needed to cheer myself up so I went to my favorite jewel shop and bought this absolutely gorgeous bracelet. But that night I could not sleep, the shoes were haunting me.

The next morning I got up really early, around eight, because I had received an email about a 90 percent off fashion sale that was happening on Elizabeth street that day. (I’ve registered myself  to get info about those kind of important events in Brisbane.) But that particular sale was a disappointment. So I went to that same shoe shop to try on my new love for one more time. And this time I bought them. They go really good with my new bracelet… And of course they had a very nice offer when you buy one pair you get the next half price, I don’t even need to tell you how that ended… Let’s just say my shoe collections is looking much better now.
