Train Wrecks
Model Eats Runway ... Twice

Model Falls on Catwalk: Click to watchIf you thought Carrie Bradshaw had it bad as "fashion roadkill" on "Sex and the City," you ain't seen nothin' yet.

One poor model had not one, but two incredibly embarrassing falls at yesterday's Vivienne Westwood show during Paris Fashion Week.

The model, decked out in a pink skirt, impractical orange and yellow heels and a watering can full of water, was struggling right from her very first step onto the runway. As soon as she appears in front of the packed audience, the model wiggles, wobbles and nearly crashes face first into the stage. Thankfully, she recovers and gracefully continues her strut, but it's only a taste of what lies ahead.

After doing her little turn on the catwalk, the unsteady model suddenly crashes to the floor, water splashing out of her can as she went down. But, like a true pro, the model gets up and pushes on. Unfortunately, she may have pushed on a little too hard. She immediately begins teetering on her heels, waves her arms in desperation, and finally falls forward again. Hard.

Hey, nobody said being really, really, ridiculously good looking was easy.

16. Imagine these girls waste all their energy throwing up, how do you expect her to carry a bucket and nevertheless full of water!

17. HA HA HA! Vacant model is overpaid, the least she can do is walk the runway without pulling a Chevy Chase! HA!

LIVEWIRE thinks that models are the most useless and overpaid people in the world.

LIVEWIRE also thinks that most red blooded American men would not even consider some of these sticks beautiful. Give LIVEWIRE a woman like Beyonce anytime!

19. Wonder what genius decided to actually put water in the cans? Looks like she kept skidding through wet patches.

20. That watering can had water in it, so it was probably heavy. It's not that easy doing that walk in those shoes, she sure didn't need a can of water to unbalance her.

Poor thing. ;(

25. Poor girl :-( How embarrasing for her.

I agree with poster #19 - What bozo decided to put water in the can???? Perhaps that's the person who should be on the runway with those funky looking shoes on!

And I thought falling "UP" stairs was funny - it did give me a laugh at the expense of one poor little model!!! LOL

27. maybe if she had a little more weight on her, she wouldnt of kept falling every time someone in the audience sneezed.

28. Holy Cow what a clutz. Hope she doesn't accidentally stab herself when she's eating dinner.

29. For all you people out there making assumptions about this model, you might try walking in her shoes before casting the first stone. Runway modeling is very hard and there are plenty of times that models are wearing shoes that are way to small for their feet. They do not own these shoes they are given to them from the designer to wear for the show. I would love to see any of you try and do it.
