The Angel of the Catwalk

She had been preparing for this moment for weeks, practicing every step and every pose with the designer’s guidance. She knew she had to make a lasting impression on the celebrities and critics who filled the seats. As she stepped out onto the catwalk, she felt a surge of adrenaline and excitement. The lights were blinding, but she quickly adjusted her vision and scanned the faces of the audience. She knew they were not looking at her, but at the stunning outfit she was wearing. She felt the fabric caress her skin, and the weight of the wings on her back. She unfurled them with a graceful gesture, and heard a collective gasp from the crowd. She smiled inwardly, knowing she had achieved the desired effect. She was not just a model, she was an angel of the catwalk.
