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.

76. Poor thing. She was too frail to carry a bucket of water. She was sabatoged! Why else would they actually fill the bucket? After the first spill, she probably kept falling because the runway or shoes got wet.

77. How come TMZ.com's video's are always of poor quality and blurred to where you hardly can make out what is being played?

79. I feel bad for her - who dreams up stupid shoes like that? and why did the water can have to be full? I'm sure the extra weight threw her off balance also!

81. Poor thing, did they not know that the bucket of water weighed more than she did! Why would they have filled that bucket with water anyways? It should have been empty then maybe she could have navigated the runway better with those hideous shoes.

86. Just be glad your worst moments at work aren't media fodder and topics of ridicule for a petty and uncaring audience.

87. Poor little thing, The only way to make it any funnier, is if she had been Paris Hilton.
Why would they put water in that pail, its a runway and their skinny? What part don't you get?

88. It is obvious that the shoes were giving her the trouble. Those things around her ankle looks like there were uncomfortable.
I did feel sorry for her.
