Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire,
Ginger Rodgers, dance on air

They had style, they had grace
Rita Hayworth gave good face
Lauren, Katherine, Lana too
Bette Davis, we love you

Ladies with an attitude
Fellows that were in the mood
Don't just stand there, let's get to it
Strike a pose, there's nothing to it

Yes, you probably know these rap lyrics. If not what about the chorus that goes "Come on, Vogue.. Let your body move to the music... Hey hey hey ". Madonna's "Vogue" glamorised the life of models big time, but seriously it ain't an easy job.

Try looking this hot at 40

PS and I took a day off last week to take our wedding photographs, and got a taste of what it is like to be models for a day, for the sake of the photo album. It was a hair-raising experience from the start as our make-up artiste Candy applied enough hair spray to light up the whole of Bedok. Not to mention the make-up and stuffy attire. Boy, was it hot and unbearable. My wet stinky shirt at the end of the day is a testimony to that.

We visited a number of places: National Museum, Singapore Art Museum, Alexandra open space, Duxton conversation area, Grand Shanghai Restaurant, a reservoir at Sentosa, and Tanjong Beach. It was our intention to do only outdoor shots. Although the weather was bleak and wet, we had a great time, and thanked God it didn't poured.

Well, I cannot wait for the photos to be ready. =)
