UPDATE Chantelle sent in this picture of the fabric challenge.

Hey terubo, I’m happy to post up pics of the fabric challenge if you could advise how I do it!

I’d love to but am unfortunately working the entire weekend. And not in Manuka.

How bizarre. Perhaps if Kerces attends this “strikingly unconventional” event, we may see some pics of the results of the Fabric Challenge?

I’d side with the definition that “bizarre” is “strikingly unconventional and far-fetched in style or appearance.” Regardless of how you define “bizarre” or “beautiful” they are quite subjective terms?

Our aim of our event is to capture mainstream trends, but also bring out those “strikingly unconventional” styles, specifically with the fabric challenge. Also the Make-Up Academy will parade some rather “bizarre” looks!

I can understand the references to “beautiful”, Chantelle, but where does the “bizarre” come into it? (bizarre = grotesque, half-barbaric: OED).

The whole event sounds like something glossy-readers like myself would be quite interested in.

A solarium selling anti-ageing cream?

That’s one way to make money both coming and going.
