I went in to get stitches, with my boyfriend holding my hands the whole time – all he said, though, was “I told you so!” The doctor said, “You’ll need stitches.” I started crying because this was turning out to be my worst nightmare, and everyone around was finding this funny, all thanks to my rosy cheeks and makeup and state of undress. I had never felt more embarrassed in my life!! My friends rushed me to the closest hospital and called my boyfriend up too! I reached the hospital in those clothes – rather, almost no clothes, and covered up only by scarves – with all that makeup on my face. It clearly wasn’t, because I was feeling faint. The guy gave us some dettol and said that should be enough.

My best friends who were in the crowd cheering for me came running to me and we went to the ambulance stationed in case of an emergency. That’s when the whole crowd had started shifting their attention towards me… A girl with a bleeding leg, getting her clothes cut off – on stage!!Įveryone was running around getting me cotton and dettol and scarves to cover me up. I was pretty numb, though, and couldn’t feel any pain! At that moment, someone ran to get scissors to cut the damn dress up, because that was the only way to get it off.

That’s when I noticed blood running down my left leg. That’s when this boy came running to my rescue, my knight in shining armour, I thought! He picked me up along, with those extra kilos of my outfit, and made me sit on the side. And that’s when the bulbs clashed with each other and broke!! I didn’t realize it, though, and I happened to step on one of those broken glass pieces. Now, happy that I had managed the first round well, and more comfortable in my bare feet, I started jumping around when I walked back on stage. And as soon as I turned around and came back into the wings ahead of the final round, I removed my heels! “In fact, I was actually planning to put an electrical circuit to light it up, which I am not now, so it’s completely safe.” He was aiming for the grandesque look, I guess!Īnyway, I managed to get on the ramp, being very, very conscious about not letting the bulbs clash with each other, which had now become my biggest concern. I was, like, “What? Why? These are dangerous, no?” He calmed me down saying it would only be for a few minutes. Just before my turn arrived, the designer came and started fixing these light bulbs at the hem of the dress. So, there I was, all dressed up in that 10-kilo dress and heels. Just the night before, I had practiced walking in those shoes and was fairly comfortable with them! My boyfriend had told me to not do this, knowing how clumsy I am but I still went ahead and did this because I thought, “How can anyone stop me?!” I had been asked to come in a black camisole and black shorts, along with my 6 inch black heels.

And everyone’s hair was all done up in a most snazzy manner. The day arrived and our makeup was done, which was essentially prominent red cheeks and multicolored eyes to keep up with the “Circus” mood. It was a short, mesh, sleeveless dress and there was a old tiny table fan that was going to be attached on a belt as an accessory. It was going to be a dress made out of wires – not just any wires but thick electrical wires. This friend’s friend approached me and explained to me what I had to wear. The theme was “Sustainable Fashion” and the students were only using waste material, revamping them and creating exquisite and elaborate masterpieces. This happened in the last semester of my course during the annual design show.

If you are studying in a design college and you are tall, chances are that you will be held up by one person or the other to model for them or become their mannequin for a few hours! So, being tall, I couldn’t really get away either.
