My sweet friends… I want to tell you what a fantastic night I had last Friday.
You probably know it is Fashion Week in Milan now, and to me, it is the most exciting moment of the year!
I have modelled for a young and brilliant designer, a brand new in the fashion Industry. Even if it was not my first catwalk, I was beyond thrilled and super nervous before entering the stage; Milan Fashion Week is one of the most important spots in the fashion industry.
But I did rock the runway: I was beautiful, confident, and my walk was impeccable: Everybody was looking at me with admiration, and I just felt over the moon.
Sitting in the very first line, a very elegant man was looking at me with a particular glance in the eye. I can't say he was conventionally beautiful, but he was so charming. He seemed so self-confident, so strong- I was impressed. And you know, by the last photo story, how much I prefer non-conventional beauty.
But I was working, and the bustle backstage was overwhelming, so I forgot about him quite immediately. I got so many outfit changes, so many things to think about.
When the catwalk was over, I planned to go to the after-party with other models I met during this period of castings. I was chatting with them when this man came to me with an impressive white roses bouquet.
He looked straight into my eyes:
"I need to know your name."
And I replied: "I'm De Rosa, Victoria De Rosa"
"Nice to meet you Victoria, you were just like a goddess on the stage."
My friends were staring at him, captured by his poise and allure. They stepped back to give us some privacy, and I started to feel embarrassed by that intimacy.
"My name is Roberto; let's escape all this noise. I want you to join me for dinner."
I was extremely tempted, but I had to reject his lovely invitation. I already had plans for the night with the girls at the designer after party.
He was disappointed, but – as a real gentleman – he nodded, and he just walked away without turning back (Oh, that walk...).
But anyway I knew I would see him again at the party!
I came back to the backstage, where Tanya, Vanessa and Jenny were preparing for the party, sitting in the beauty department with their little satin vests, doing each other make-up. They asked me about the stranger, and I just told them his name and ended that conversation. Dolled up like princesses, we called a cab and headed the party.
The location was so glamourous, located in "Garibaldi", the neighbourhood where I made the mini dress video you can see on YouTube. It was an elegant rooftop terrace inside a luxury hotel with soft lights and smooth Jazz playing nicely; quite crowded, and everybody dressed in an impressively sophisticated way. But what about my outfit? I have chosen for the occasion that dark burgundy long dress you can see in the picture. My curves were shining with thousands of glitters. It was quite hard to remain impassive at my passage.
We were offered to drink champagne and enjoy the party.
The atmosphere was amazing, I met so many interesting people that evening, but I was looking for my mysterious chevalier.
And suddenly I've seen him! Unfortunately, my happiness finished quite fast. He was sitting at the bar counter with Jenny! They were speaking and flirting with her thin arm around his neck.
I felt a punch in the stomach, and I was so confused. I didn't know whether to be angry with him, with my "friend" or just with me because I didn't jump on the train when it passed.
I was deep thinking in my thoughts when I shifted someone grabbing my waist from the back. It was my Tanya inviting me to join the table of the stylist. Why not! I didn't allow bad thoughts to ruin a wonderful evening.
The party wasn't over yet!
