Love and Deceit

At exactly five minutes past 11:00 pm, the Fashion Show kicked start. Before that, there was a breach that afforded Belinda and me the luxury of time to exchange pleasantries with some notable Elites in attendance. 


The Pia Amato's Fashion Show usually spans across a one -week period, but the late Gustavo informed me that he would normally make his attendance with Belinda during the first day to commensurate having to skip attendance on the other days. 


The event kicked off with a woman clad in rich alluring fabric exuding her classiness; a masculine suit that looked too good on her. She was a vibrant oldie, pardon my description. She looked somewhat sixty with total grey hair which she bothered to have a hairstylist beautify. She obviously was opting to win the race against time. Haha!
