It was now 8:15 and the anticipation and excitement was at it's peak. All of the seats were sold out and the garden was packed. All the biggest names in hollywood and fashion were there.
"Okay people let's calm down!" Sidney yelled backstage.
"We have 15 minutes Miss Shago."
"Thanks Jilly. Okay everyone it's almost time, just take a deep breath and relax and you'll all do fine."
"So Sid how do I look?"
"Alexis you look fantastic."
"Thanks, so do you! Who are you looking all sexy for?"
Sidney was wearing a sky blue satin dress that showed off her perfect, curvy figure. It fell to the floor and had 2 small speghetti straps holding it up. The back of the dress dipped to the bottom of her back.
"Very funny Lexi, good luck."
"Ha who needs luck when you have natural skills!"
Alexis walked off and prepared to walk out. She would be the first one. In the audience, Justin was sitting in the front row. JC was to his right, Joey to his left and Ashley sat next to JC. On the opposite side of the stage sat Chris and Theresa. The music started playing and everyone became silent. The music was very techno which contrasted with the setting and Sidney's usual demeanor which was what she wanted. Alexis walked out perfectly down the runway to the beat of the music, turned a few times, and walked back.
"Damn J, did you see that girl?"
"Yeah Joey I know, she was pretty fine, right?"
The show went on for about an hour or so and it was finally time for Sidney, herself, to come out. There were about 20 models all together and they lined up backstage. Alexis was in the front and stood next to Sidney. Sidney squeezed her hand as their cue came up. The curtains opened and they all walked out. Everyone stood up and clapped. Sidney thought she would cry when she saw her role model, Donatella, give her a standing ovation. Justin looked at the woman he had heard so much about and finally he had a face to go with the name. He was in awe of her beauty. He didn't take his eyes off her even as she walked backstage. He knew then that he had to have her no matter what it cost.
