VOGUEDIARY

    Russsian Musicbox party, Mardan Palace, September 2013.

 Day 1.
Singing a song ,I am coming home, while arriving to Mardan Palace. I've missed this place! I have not been here for 6 weeks! It was such a long September and I am finally back with MUSICBOX channel.
This time was really special to me, I was organizing 2 fashion shows in Mardan Palace so I was really nervous. Goga Sabekia and Alexander Gusarov were really upset - their electronic tickets were lost so they needed to wait for 5 more hours for their another flight.
I arrived at 1 pm and changed my outfit and disappeared on the white beach. Yes,Mardan Palace's beach is really white.
We had so much fun. At the night time we went shopping! I've bought so many Zara T-shirts,but Bershka got me too.
On our way back to the hotel we were singing summer songs and taking crazy pictures with mom and her friends.

Alex Gusarov and Goga Sabekia were waiting for me at the hotel
with whiskey and ,Long Island, - we finsihed our cocktails at 5 am. (wanted to mention that my cocktails were milkshakes!).

Day 2.

It's my BIRTHDAY! I will not lie to you. That birthday was not the day I could wish for but I had fun. I was so nervous for upcoming fashion show!
At 5 pm. I arrived to the airport to meet Roma Acorn and other music bands and to get them to the hotel.
On the 23rd of Sept. there was the first Musicbox party.
We were dancing and having a lot of fun. It was hilarious to see women trying to walk on their high heels trough grass (our concert place was on the grass near the beach). They were trying to look independent walking near their husbands and hanging their Armani dresses.
After the first Musicbox party I took my mom,designers,Roma and other people from our company and we went to the club. Mardan Palace has its own big night club!
I got back to my room at 6 am. I wish I could sleep some more time but I woke up at 8 am for breakfast !



Day 3.

Such an important day!!! The reason I was in Mardan Palace that time was fashion shows. I was an organizator of 2 fashion shows ( of Goga Sabekia and Alexander Gusarov).

After breakfast I tried to wake Alex up but he felt bad after last night. At 1 pm. we had a casting of our models and rehearsals of 2 fashion shows.
After castings our company went shopping. We've bought Gucci sunglasses and did not forget about RayBans.
Then I arrived to the hotel as soon as I could - I was late for sound check. Roma Acorn was a DJ of those fashion shows. The idea of DJ set for the fashion show came into my mom's head unexpectedly and we asked if Roma wanted to fire up the runway! Sure he wanted.
We had 3 more hours! Musicbox team needed to take an interview and we went to the SPA. Musicbox ordered the most expensive therapy ( for about 9,000$) and after that we shooted the interview with Roma Acorn (you can watch it later on Musicbox channel).
Then we visited the beach and jumped into huge waves and it was so much fun!
At 7 pm. we had a quick dinner and I ran to my room to prepare for the show. I was trying to find a good outfit for 2 hours!
I was inspired by Chanel and outfit was hot.
At 10 pm I ran backstage to take some pictures for my article and then the first fashion shows started. Everything went great and I was so happy to see my idea coming true.
After fashion shows I had free hours and decided to stay somewhere...I took my friend and Roma and we found a place for balls. There were about 3 big rooms with no lights (because it was a night time) so no one was there and we were scared but stayed in one of big halls for 2 hours. Roma was preparing for a DJ set at the night club and I was listening for his music (I love it!).
Later we realized that we were late to the club and ran there as fast as we could.
Roma performed his new song and played a DJ set and everything was really perfect.
I was so busy with my thoughts and emotions that I missed the
second party of Musicbox channel.
After Roma's DJ set we were ...HUNGRY. We were sleepy and tired and we called to the Lobby and ordered some pizza and fries,at 5 am,yess.
It had no sense to fall asleep because we had to wake up at 6:30 am to get into a personal bus and go on a small trip which my friends ordered for me.
We were trying to eat but eyes were closing and the sun was rising.
The last day was slowly coming into our eyes trough sun's pastel tones at 5 am.


Day 4.

6:30 ? Oh please,let me sleep! We met at Lobby at half past six and got into our own bus. We were so tired. There were about 5 people in our trip. Roma was so tired, I wish he slept a bit,because he worked really hard last night!
The trip was so long...we were getting there for 3 hours (the same is on the way back). We tried to fall asleep in our bus but we had no chances. Too uncomfortable.
The place we got in was really beautiful but there were too many tourists! But Roma had a small photoshoot and I fell in love with his pics. He was fabulous as always.
We arrived to Mardan Palace at 7 pm - tired and sleepy.
After dinner we decided that we must fire up the last night and got dressed for the third Musicbox party.
Unfortunately,we found some problems with our flight tickets but it got better and everything was improved.
We went to our rooms at 12 am and met at 4 am at Lobby to leave the hotel together. It was really sad to leave Mardan Palace because we fell in love with that place,all of us.
I was wearing my Ed Hardy sport suit and ,Jack Daniels, top with RayBans.

Our 4 days were like heaven. Yes,we all had a lot of work,but the atmosphere was so perfect that my soul was so high.

Next summer I am planning to work with Marca Event again and organize a world famous brand fashion show with a lot of celebrities and fashionistas!
I am thankful to everyone who helped me out and  did not forget about a wonderful smile every single day.
