Hometown/Downtown - Fashion show for Hue Salon's first year

Finally, I would have my chance to shine. To show the world what I have to offer and how valuable I truly am.
Tempted Tai and Sushi in Boca Raton hosted a fashion show to commemorate the one-year anniversary of Hue Hair Salon, located in the same plaza.
You know what this means? I would get to show the world and Hue Salon my fabulous, legendary, dare we say historic … hair.
Also I might cover the fashion show a bit.
Jason, who filled in for Dave for the fourth time, brought his boyfriend to the party.
Tempted Tai is made in the mold of real New York City sushi joints, with a real Manhattan feel. I will refrain from making any “Sex and the City” comments.
Like the baller that I am, I took the elevator up to the second floor, where the sushi restaurant is located. The inside was an eclectic mix of different elements.
A wood floor, which became a makeshift runway, was the setting for the cocktail area, with the sushi and drink bar located in the far corner. You can literally grab a pre-meal drink while watching your sushi be prepared.
The dining area had a mixture of light blue and a design that looked like braille on the walls. There even was a little Buddha fountain in the corner.
The fashion show went off without a hitch. To my dismay, I was not called upon to be a guest model. I’ll just keep telling myself they didn’t see me. It helps me sleep at night.
In addition to the restaurant itself, the fashion show was New York style with rows of white plastic chairs lined up all along the runway. Lights were flashing from digital cameras as guests took a couple pictures of the models gliding up and down the runway.
The fashion show ended quite early, giving me enough time to grab a drink, mingle with some of the models and enjoy the rest of my night.
The night went well. So well that I’ll be back next year for the second anniversary of Hue. Maybe by then, they will smarten up and have me model for them.
