Jessiann, the second model to hit the runway at the Esteban Cortazar show at the Nokia Theater on Wednesday night, wore an optical illusion silk chiffon blouse with pleated collar and a white high-waisted duchess cotton knee length skirt.
What wasn't an optical illusion was when the strap on her high-heeled shoe snapped. She made one graceful attempt to fix it as she kept walking, but it didn't work.
Then, in a matter of about two seconds, she had the wherewithal to just take off both shoes and stroll barefoot the rest of the way.
All the while, she never lost her poise or focus and kept up that bad-ass, nothing fazes me look all models use on the runway. For her work, she received a wonderful round of applause. Nice job, Jessiann.
I was glad she didn't fall. As funny as that may be to see live, I never wish ill will against people who haven't already earned it. I just wondered what she did when she got backstage. Did she get mad? Did she yell at someone? Did she just let it slide since she played it off so well? Hmmm.
