Stillman Living Statues at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, one of only very few 'seven-star' hotels in the world. I was honoured to be part of this highly exclusive event. A fashion parade presenting the cream of Milan's fashion industry announced Milan as a new direct destination from Abu Dhabi.
It was my dream gig - we were painting ourselves in one of the world's most exclusive locations, the music was a wonderful mix of chilled club, fine Italian opera and classical music and we were sharing our backstage with 20-30 beautiful models - a great time and place to be a living statue.
We were so caught up in make-up, and finding a shower in the vastness of the hotel afterwards, that we missed a top-class buffet, and I also had to leave straight away for a uv, fire and pyro performance on the next evening in Wels, Austria. However, it somehow didn't matter as I was left with a really great feeling after having Stillman Theater at such a fine event and classy location.
