interesting idea, but are we going to take photos or have own cameras taking away from us? or just enjoy the show?

Talk about damning with feint praise!

The "brightest" in Oz fashion? Sounds like a brownout looking for somewhere to happen. :)

Let's see, .... $25 for the privilege of going shopping for overpriced wisps of fabric barely stitched together and that will be good for just one wearing, if you're lucky.

I rest my case. :)

front of house means public relations in the most wholemeal sort of way like 'greeters' at the door, I want to be free to roam around, anyway today talking to event organizers see if I can get a press pass

You can dress the models Greg, i will undress the models. :) (But not the male models, they can look after themselves unless one of the ladies of the forum wants to have a go.)
