I'm Too Sexy for My Shirt...

I went to the Annual Retail Group Fashion Show a few nights ago, which is sponsored by multiple clothing retailers that recruit at the GSB. It was held in a trendy nightclub in West Loop, and a runway was set up in front of the dance floor. The models - professors and administrators. Although most students get along really well with professors and chat with them about plenty of random topics on campus, its definitely weird to see them outside of campus, at a nightclub, shakin' their thangs on the runway in haute couture.

Huckle Cat and I could barely keep upright after watching some of the profs strut their stuff. A former prof of mine - who is really thin and always wears these geeky/trendy thick black glasses - came out in Calvin Klein, but flashed a bit of stomach and the waistband of his underwear. As he'd always been quite covered up in class, the flash of flesh was quite unexpected! Another prof came out in a suit, shirt unbuttoned enough to expose the rather hairy chest, while sporting shades and a martini. All of the women were going wild at this display...TOO funny. The performance was made all the more entertaining by the MC, a current 1st year that has been doing improv/stand-up comedy for years and peppered the entire show with witty remarks.

Speaking of seeing professors outside of their natural habitat, I'll be joining a couple of profs tomorrow for a charity brunch with several fellow 1st years. As part of a CWiB charity auction held last quarter, several of us CWiB members got together to offer up a Sunday brunch for the auction. A couple of profs teamed up and won the bid, so we'll be preparing brunch for them at one of their houses. Oh, and one of them is the hairy-chested martini drinker! ;P
