In the Life of a Model: Michaela Crompton

By Editor 9 years ago

She’s from Toronto

Saturday wasn’t just Valentine’s Day, it was show day. Lower College Lawn was host to 1650 students for the Annual St Andrews Charity Fashion Show. We sat down with Michaela Crompton to talk about her last four years as an FS model, the highs, the lows and all the memories in between.

Where are you from? What do you study?

I’m from Toronto. I study Art History and Management.

When did you join FS? Why?

I joined FS in my first year. I figured it would be a fun way of getting involved in something philanthropic. I also just wanted to meet new people and do something different.

How has FS evolved over the years?

It’s become so much bigger with every year. We’ve given more money, the show is more exciting, there are more guests attending than ever; everything is just bigger and better. It’s been incredible to see it evolve!

Had you ever modeled before? Would you after university?

I had never modeled before FS. I really don’t plan to after university either. It’s something I’ve done at St Andrews for four years; it’s been fun but definitely not a career choice for me!

How has the rivalry between DW and FS changed?

I’ve had friends in both shows, so I’ve never really felt the rivalry between the two has been that serious. I think they’re very different shows and offer a totally different experience to the audience.

What was your favorite moment?

My favorite moment every year is when we’re allowed to get off the catwalk, change backstage and join the after party! It’s the best way to celebrate with everyone!

What was your most embarrassing moment?

I messed up the choreography in first year and literally froze on the spot on the catwalk. My mind went blank and I just couldn’t move! My friend in the crowd had to tell me to keep going. Actually, worse than that was when I slipped because everyone had spilt drinks over the stage, again in first year. Rookie mistakes!

Who’s your favorite designer?

Issy by London

What was your favorite photoshoot and theme?

My favorite photoshoot was definitely “Behind the Looking Glass”; we did that in my second year. Actually, it’s a tie between that and the Alpha Romeo shoot in my first year. My favorite theme was definitely Bright Young Things last year.

What is the best part of the show for you?

I love the second half of the show. You can just go out and enjoy yourself! No more nerves, just excitement!

What were you feeling as you did your last walk on Saturday?

It was so much fun. The crowd is going wild and it’s exhilarating as usual. But as I did that last walk, it just hit me and I felt sad that is was all over.

    New blog post, I wanted to share.

    Namecheap is a really popular web hosting company that is global they have over 11 million registered users. There are a bunch of different types of options for building a website, wordpress tools to help you, and email tools. They have a bunch of other software and security tools as well like SSL certificates. If your gonna buy from Namecheap, just do yourself a favor and use a coupon from our site… it takes a moment to find one and you will save some money.
    Some ways to save at Namecheap
    New customer discounts

    If your a new customer you get access to a lot of discouns and promo codes that are not normally available like coupons giving 50% off and 1 USD .com domains. Some really juicy stuff for real. Usually it depends on the product you are purchasing. Businesses and individuals can use these discounts and promo codes from Namecheap.com, but I think most businesses never use the codes… im not really sure why. There are some special coupons you can find on alternative sites there was a recent promo code that gave over 60% off a one-year VPN service. They have good products so I imagine the VPN would be pretty fast for a cheap price. Win.
    Student, teacher, and educator discounts

    f you are a student or teacher you show your email address with a .edu email or maybe email Namecheap with your student or teacher ID and you will get access to a nice bit of coupons/discounts for sure. This bundle includes a domain name plus one of the following:

    Free use of the company business card maker
    Free use of the Logo Maker feature
    Free hosting for one year

    Sign up for the newsletter

    If you join the namecheap newsletter you will get emailed a bunch of discounts and coupons also. You get more than just promos and discounts they will keep you updated with all the happenings going on at Namecheap like any new product offers or even any issues with services I imagine.
    Get 20% off

    You can find a namecheap promo code for 20% off if you visit our main page. https://kimspromofinder.coupons
    How to redeem a Namecheap promo code

    Add your product to your cart. Go to your cart. And scroll down there should be an option for a promo code or coupon. You can find a picture of what I am talking about on own home page. But it isn’t too hard I believe in you. During the payment process you can apply the discount code
    Troubleshooting your promo code

    We make sure our promo codes work all the time. However sometimes they are updated for whatever reason at Namecheap or other issues might arise. Make sure if your typing in the promo code correctly.

    Also sometimes you need to purchase a certain type of product. Lets say your code is for a .com domain, and your purchasing a .net domain the discount code will not work.

    Namecheap’s website will often tell you the error and reason for why the promo code is not working as well.
    Top Namecheap products

    Namecheap offers a lot of different stuff, but some of the ones that people love are:

    Free logo maker: create your custom logo for free on the Namecheap website
    VPS hosting: choose from monthly, quarterly, or yearly plans
    SSL certificates: help secure your users’ data by encrypting your website

  9. I have come to understand that service fees for online degree experts tend to be an awesome value. For instance a full Bachelor’s Degree in Communication with the University of Phoenix Online consists of 60 credits with $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online makes available Bachelors of Business Administration with a overall school element of 180 units and a price of $30,560. Online degree learning has made getting the college degree so much easier because you may earn your degree through the comfort of your dwelling place and when you finish from office. Thanks for all other tips I have certainly learned through the site.
