O is for Oops!

Back by popular demand, darlings!

It must be so difficult to be a model at times like these! You want to wipe your nose and adjust your hat so you can actually see where you are walking, but you can’t . . .
Need to tame those flyaways?

Last, but not least? A celebrity "oops" that CC can’t help but think was done on purpose:

Didn't someone tell her about the flashbulb thing?

Oh well, I suppose if it can happen to Gwyneth Paltrow, it can happen to anyone!

The lesson here, ladies?
This fall, take care with your red lipstick, panty lines, and the fit of your garments!!

Danz said...

Haha, funny post CC!

I think we all secretly (or not) love these moments because it reminds us that models are human and they have bad days just like the rest of us.

Thanks for your comment! I do hope you'll enter the contest and remember to let me know if you do ;)

Have a great day dear!

LOL
CC you just made me laugh and believe me I need it right now.
Thank you so much for this funny post that lifted my mood.

I agree with Danz when she says that these moments remind us that also models have bag days, making them more humans.

And for sure I'll be careful with lipstick :D

Guapóloga said...

It's a good reminder about the humanity of the people who works borrowing their face for fashion. Do you have any photos of men in "oops"? Probably those are funny too!

Best wishes!!

Little Bow Prep said...

Oooh, I have another example- Carrie from SATC when she was in that charity fashion show and fell.

As for the last picture- Alexandra Kerry (I think so at least) had a similar problem.

Awesome post!

Anonymous said...

hehe this post was fantastic! And I'm so paranoid about the red lipstick thing happening to me, which is why I hardly wear it!

Hunters Glory said...

O is for ~
"OH I love this blog!"

♥ Marta ♥ said...

This post was so much fun to read and especially to look at .... Wonderful post :) P.S.there is no way I can wear my dress ( now a shirt) as a tunic, they cut it off so short that it fits just below my belly button :S

Sienna said...

Haha. this was a cute idea.

la petite fashionista said...

haha what a great post! an insightful look that goes to show that not all things go as planned at fashion week!

xoxo

Tricia said...

i think it's more fun when fashion shows have these mishaps! Small shoes, though, can rarely be avoided - limited sizes + big feet = model in pain.

Christina said...

The last picture is terrible...how embarrassing!

WendyB said...

I'm always worried about transparency.

Cammila said...

I just laughed out loud for like five minutes! Models are so silly.

Sydney said...

i love the first purple dress!

María Pilar Bernal Maya said...

Bravo for you post!
You´ve seen and write about things most of people don´t see nor write. Good pictures too. I´ll be careful with red lips, necklines and transparencies (jajajaajj)
