The Starstyling show: high kicks and vendetta masks

show. Big boobs, six-packs, short, tall, slim-not-starved; the variety of the models high-kicking their way down the runway path at HBC is glee-inspiring. High-kicking, yes. A freaky, abstract, ambient sound loop littered with broken speech is the audio backdrop to the show, and the first models to come out are composed of one on hands and knees and crawling backwards, another taming him like a beast on a leash. It’s not so much the clothes we look at as it is their performance as they scrounge down the runway. Shocked and amused audience faces; it’s weird and funny, and what follows is a particularly entertaining show as some of the models literally sashay their way past the mass of onlookers. I wish I could attach an audio to this post as the soundtrack is properly weird. We see shiny sequins, skantily-clad models, big necklaces of colorful plastic squares and discs, hoods, plastic jackets, bushy shoes, straw! and masks- never do we see the models faces; all are concealed behind masks: clear plastic vendetta masks, eery smiles fixed, or silicone red lips and pronounced cheekbones. I’m thoroughly entertained -and satisfied with my beer and cigarette as I take in the spectacle. Though the collection seems at first-hand unfit to wear out in the real world, most of the individual pieces could in fact be wearable, if, with their most tame pieces, quirky is your look; and with the more risque ones: futuristic warrior. And who doesn’t want to be a futuristic warrior? At least for a day.
