Fete of Temptation - yeah right

Prologue: Dearie and I had a simple day together just watching stuff on tv, admiring the new ipod mini, clicking around the computer, etc. It was a lazy day..... it was raining too!

After the cartoon on El Dorado, we hurriedly left for my place (so he didn't need to send me back too late) to catch The Fete of Temptation....

..End Prologue

The Triumph Fasion Show (closing number for the Fashion Week) seemed to be advertised as a "localised" (held in Singapore mahz) version of the Victorias Secrets Fashion Show. But what a let down!
I really wonder who did the editing for that show. It was absolutely horrendous. I mean, come on, aren't you supposed to keep the camera on the model while she's doing the catwalk so viewers can enjoy the model and the new range of lingerie it's supposed to promote?!?!?!

But noooooooo.... what the director did was do MTV-styled editing and cuts all over the place. What we landed up sitting through was a montage of shots with extremely irritating bright lights fading in and out. The cuts were far too quick for us to get a glimpse at the designs or the models at all. It was just plain annoying to enjoy anything of the 1 hour show.

Host Jon Johnson was a bad host. If you look good but can't host, DON'T. Jaymee Ong wasn't so bad, except that I felt her voice wasn't as suited, but beside the dude, my goodness, she was fantastic.

What a disappointing lingerie show. Next year, they should just put the camera in front of the stage, and simply zoom in and out; pan up and down. SIMPLE. Why add all the irrelevent cuts and lights? The backstage scenes were done MUCH better. It did allow us to see what went into the preparations. Same irritating cuts and shots were used (and shakey confused cameras) but thank goodness for the absence of the bright lights fading in and out.

I hope someone from Triumph reads this. AND Mediacorp. Fashion shows are never shot this way. Triumph: If you want to sell your products, you've got to allow us to be able to see them first.

No pics to post here. Damn shots changing so fast, unless I taped and paused it, I would not have been able to capture anything. Me no VCR. Or TV Tuner.
