As the first “guest blogger” on the Somerset Resort blog (how cool is that!) it’s wonderful to be able to talk about a great event from last week that is celebrating its third anniversary. The Somerset sets itself apart from many other resorts in Turks and Caicos with its events. It’s always reaching out to the community and supporting great causes and there is always something fun happening at the resort – jazz evenings, conch parties, movie nights, lobsters on the beach – fun!!
Last week it was the annual fashion show which features many local designers and local models. We were delighted to be asked by Karen (the GM) to come along and help document all the spectacular models and outfits.
A few behind the scenes. Tamie Ford of Tamie Touch makeup was on hand to help. Gorgeous stuff!
Easher and Cortrina backstage – everyone was having a great time.
First down the runway was Katherine – a previous bride of Brilliant by tropicalimaging – cool!
Carolyn – always looking fab – this is her third show!
This was Sydney’s first show, but she did a great job.
The next two outfits by Rose Garland Designs.
Kitchandra was a contestant in Miss Earth a few months back.
During a break in the show the emcee Kimo Tynes made his way to our “spotlight”!!
Back to the show with Cortrina Cooper.
Then during another pause some “other models” showed up on the catwalk!! As well as making sure everything was running smoothly they couldn’t resist a quick “pose”!
Leonie – the restaurant manager.
Roger, who looks after the pool and beach, but was helping out too!
and finally Gordon Lightbourne – next year I think he needs to be “in” the show!
a few more outfits..
A great evening outfit by Jermell Williams.
Another stunning outfit again by Jermell.
and again another show stopper here modeled by Brittney.
Finally some cocktail and resort evening wear.
A final group shot of all the models, designers and organisers.
Shortly followed by the O’Soleil restaurant team !!
