Holy mother of event coverage – I must have been more trigger-happy than I realised. It’s now part 5 of my blog coverage of the Asia Style Collection (and there’s still one last part!) I kinda got impatient and decided to skip ahead to the Girls’ Generation portion first. If you’ve missed my earlier entries, here you go again!
Part 1: AKB48 / Tokyo Girls Collection / Thelma Aoyama
Part 2: Tokyo Girls Collection (cont’d) / 2NE1 press conference
Part 3: Korean fashion collection / Tony Moly show
Part 4: Exclusive backstage photos of 2NE1 and Girls Generation
We unfortunately missed the performances by 2NE1 (mehhhhh!) and were hustled backstage for our special exclusive photo with Girls Generation (thanks again to Pickat and SG Story xoxo), and here I am, showing it off again heh.
After this, we rushed back to our seats at the press conference and waited for the girls to arrive (again)
And yes, a peek of them from under the burly and vaguely paranoid bodyguard who kinda freaked out at the sight of another journo using his phone to send messages. Apparently, the SM entertainment guidelines about no paparazzi-style photos using lousy phone cameras are reallllly strict.
The girls getting into position for what was going to be a 20-second photo call. I kid you not.
Loving this photo of Taeyeon who looked so adorably blur, Tiffany looking superbly pretty and Seohyun the maknae lookng her usual prim and proper self
I could say that I was trying to snap their shoes but nahhhh I’m gonna ‘fess up and say that I didn’t take a good shot. heh. I was literally scrambling to get good shots – there were so many heads and cameras in my way!
Super happy and genuine smiles from Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun…
…compared with Yuri’s not-s0-sincere smile. She gave us a really grumpy face at the private photo session earlier on. TSK.
And the chairs signal the end of the photo-call session.
Tiffany very gamely taking the initiative to sit on the chairs
And voila! Like a Chinese wedding dinner style – Jessica’s hiding somewhere behind Hyohyeon. From this moment on, ALL photos were banned (cos I guess they don’t want their girls looking ugly with their mouths open while answering questions). I’m really happy that my question got picked! We had to send in beforehand for management to vet, and Yoona answered mine
Starting off their performance with Hoot!
And then moving on to Dancing Queen
Taking a break and saying hi to their fans
Look at the hardworking maknae waving hi to everyone
Poor Sunny – apparently she had an injured waist / or some part of her body. My journo friends who attended the rehearsal earlier in the day said that she was holding her waist/hip as she danced. Poor girl, and superb professionalism.
Yuri… what can I say? She’s just really not the friendliest nor the most sincere – she really gave us an evil dagger stare whilst we were backstage. Jessica.. I can see why she’s called the Ice Princess now. haha
Finally, Jessica has some expression! Woohoo!
Their last song – Gee. Don’t you love how smiley Tiffany is?
And by this time, the entire crowd was standing up with their cameras in the air, so I couldn’t grab anymore pictures. Hope you enjoyed my photos!
