Tomorrow is the D-day and as cliché’ as this sounds, the
closer we come to the end, the more intense and hectic it gets. Basically Today
we slept for about four hours after an intense dance and workout session till
past 1a.m and by 6 a.m. we were up for work out and more dance which lasted a
bit over three hours as we included the perfection of our catwalk choreography
as well as our dance choreographies in our respective groups. Can you imagine
being in heels from as early as 7:00 am for an entire day? 6-inch heels, that
is. Fun!
We rushed to freshen up and have breakfast and were given 20
minutes to do so, but knowing girls; we took just a bit longer and nearly got penalized!
The whole lot of us! Phew! Dodged a bullet there huh? Tree planting with the
Maendeleo ya Wanawake Chair as well as the Minister of Tourism Kilifi County
was up next at a local school in Malindi, about an hour and a half from our
current residence. Happy to be in flats, we rested in the vehicles till we were
told we had to be in heels for the entire time, and a short time it was not.
The ground was rough with some sand and rock patches and a few girls barely
escaped with their lives. (6-inch heels are not a joke) I kid! Though some
nearly did sprain their ankles. The exercise took us through to the evening
after which we had our packed lunch (a sausage, a white bread cucumber, butter
and tomato sandwich, an Orange and a fine piece of chicken). #Models
We got back on the road and head to the event venue at Pata Pata
beach which I guess must be close to the Vasco Da Gama monument and my lord,
the venue!!! Speechless! From the fine sand, to the seats to the people….pure
niceness. We got a chance to experiment with the stage which was at one end of
a humongous tent at the same beach hotel. People really have some crazy and
large investments AND it is owned by a lady who has her own line of hair as
well. Yes guys you heard it right. Hair. Synthetic hair that is.
We head back to base and were given 15 minutes to freshen up
and be ready and dressed to impress for dinner at the Governor’s mansion. Of course
I need not comment on the 15 minutes right? Right. We were there by ten and had
a cocktail that was basically heaven in a glass. Followed by fine dining by the
beach as it is a beach house right after the Governor and his office had
welcomed us heartily. Oh Lord, the food!! Mmh mmh mmh we got into our groove
and danced a bit till it was midnight and we had to leave so as to retire to
our camp, one hour away for some beauty sleep, literally.
When I wake up, it will be the day of reckoning. After the 8
O’clock class, there will be Pre judging which will have a Q n A session and a
bikini session. Then the event at the evening. Oh lord! This is purely at your
feet. Remember guys, voting ends tomorrow…oh yeah and today morning voting was
reset to zero and had to restart. Thank you so much to all who have been voting
