Me and my Walk This Way Workshops made it’s debut in China with an emotional welcome that I will never forget. In all my years as a model I was told that both China and Japan fashion markets will never be for me due to my “Avante Garde” look and attitude. Yes, I was told this by many! Upon my arrival here in China, I was greeted with honor and respect, which to be truthful to you all, I have NEVER received from MOST of my peers within the industry. I don’t strive off of recognition, however, I am human and it does feel good to know that my work that I have and continue to put out is appreciated. Enough with the crying! LOL! Back to my new found FAVORITE country CHINA! Guys, you would not believe how different the REAL Chinese people are! They are kind and humbly appreciative . Also, the country is BEYOND developed! China is a mixed of old and modern world that would blow your mind. So far I’ve been to Shanghai, which is a posh city for business men and women from all over the world. Don’t get me talking about the food! OMG! The best Chinese food is in China people! My skin is the skin of a newborn baby, thanks to the food! I had a great time touring the tallest building in China, Shanghai World Financial Center. Now, I have a major fear of flying and heights, I pushed my limits by not only flying across the world for 18 hours, but also going to the top floor (100) of this building! When I realized there’s glass floor beneath me I almost had an heart attack! For some reason, I decided to stay standing there looking at the 360 degrees view of Shanghai, I cried. The shopping in Shanghai is not the greatest, but the CUSTOM MADE /TAILORED shopping in Shanghai is THE GREATEST! I’ve had suits made for 400y ($65Cdn! YES PEOPLE)! My fave custom designs so far are my floor length cashmere cape and silk floor length dresses! From now on, I am wearing MY DESIGNS! Sorry people! LOLOL! Now, there’s so much of China for me to tell you, this is just a preview, I will be doing quite a few more blogs on my trip so stay tuned!!
