Greetings and blessings friends who come to visit my blog @hivesredcarpet, beautiful community that came up with the idea of this fantastic contest Hive's Top Model 2023, in which I dared to participate and this time I bring you what I prepared for the third challenge of this month of March, for which we had to make a catwalk with the theme of nature and life.

Like many of my classmates, I had so many doubts about how to approach this third challenge, for me the hardest thing was to choose the outfit, I checked my closet every day to see what I would wear, that alluded to the theme. When I didn't get anything, I felt distressed, even one of my colleagues offered to give me ideas, but the truth is I didn't know what to show her.

On Wednesday I checked a suitcase in which I had colored clothes saved, because I spent more than 5 years with mourning and the colors, I have little time using them, there I got that shirt that had a drape and a color that resembled the petals of a flower, my eyes sparkled and I said this is what I'm going to wear, combine it with something green on the bottom, to simulate the branches from where the flowers emerge. I used a choker, in a green color of the same tone of the pants, I made it years ago with a braid of shoes, it's like a vine and I thought it went well with what I wore that day.

The black sweater, I used it to give it more formality and be more me, since I use many long sleeve shirts and so I don't feel so exposed, plus black is a color that goes with everything and my sandals also had that tone, by the way, I had many years that I didn't walk with such high heels, I'm used to my flat sandals.

That black luck is also that armor with which we cover ourselves and do not let you see how beautiful we are, immersed in the chores at home or the stress of work, when I took it off and let you see my skin color and my beautiful moles I felt free like the wind, looking at the camera and at the same time to my husband, my star cameraman without experience, but with much love and patience to make these videos, which were not the best, but I thank him for his desire to support me in this adventure.

Another thing I liked was my makeup, quite heavy, because I always did my makeup in a subtle and almost natural way; however, I feel the need to do something different, I feel that I have learned a little, to blur the shadows, to do the eyeliner, although I forgot to apply mascara heh, heh, heh, heh. I was in such a hurry not to let the afternoon sun rays go away, and when I saw myself in the mirror I really liked the way it was combined with my outfit, in black and green terracotta tones.

As for the accessories I wanted to make a crown of trinitarian flowers, but I didn't have time. Knowing that I would do my catwalk in the historic center of my beloved Cumaná, was what gave me the idea to choose my outfit, because in those streets, throughout the year, the fronts of the houses are always colorful with these flowers, although there were other purple ones, strangely beautiful.

The catwalks, because we recorded in different spaces to see which one we would like, as each one was simple and with little time I was encouraged to upload several, the only thing I did not like, they were of the same style, as I said I could not decide which one to upload heh, heh, heh.

When I saw the other entries, I felt that my video is not very nice, but we worked hard for this result, if you had seen the cameras, the girls running, the cars passing by, the people watching me modeling and staying watching, others throwing compliments, the camera went crazy, stressing my husband and me more. But all for the sake of accomplishing this task, I'm already quite late hehehehe.

Another anecdote was that after the catwalk and several pictures we took, we went to eat ice cream, at the request of my girls. Then, when we got home, there was a lot of noise to record my opinion to the jury's question. I started to practice while the girls were asleep, that's when the phone camera began to delete the photos and videos, I got stressed and went to bed to sleep to the s, girls, I was exhausted and at 3 am I got up to record the answer, somewhat disoriented and overwhelmed, why I had to record with the front camera of the WhatsApp, which did not look so good and the speech was not as I wanted and had prepared.

Here is a little more of what I wanted to transmit with my message.
