Work hard and party hard. That is the motto of the fashion industry. But once the glamour, glitz and the long walk down the ramp are done and over with, what do the models do? How do they unwind?
Carol Marie Gracias: Reads Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phonenix apart from gulping down endless cups of tea and coffee 'which does nothing for my acidity.'
Uma Chiplunkar: Sings songs while teetering dangerously on the clothes rack, rattling all the outfits. When she's done, she gets back to reading John Grisham's The Testament.
Michelle Innes: Turns to the fashion pages in all the newspapers available and pores through them for possible writeups about her.
Tapur Chatterjee: Stares blissfully into space.
Shonali Rosario: Vegetates on a couch, doesn't talk much and simply chills out.
Megha Kawale: Walks around squeezing a couple of green and yellow toy rubber ducks and makes playful faces at other models.
Diandra Soares: Creates impromptu dance steps -- in this case Bharatanatyam, since her costume has ghungroos and tassels -- as she waits to be called for a fitting.
