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.

92. Why on earth would the designer have her carry a watering can full of water? Is water fashionable? Not like the audience would see it. The can should have been empty. It screws up your center of balance.

Oh, and I've done runway (trunk shows for the Gap and J. Crew). I also have two patents. so not ALL runway models are bubble heads. (I am 20 lbs heavier, and working on getting my patents licensed -- this was in the 90s that I did runway)

93. sad scene on the runway, but i do not find humor in someone falling. kind of makes you wonder exactly what the problem was with the shoes, or the model, that she stumbled sooooo many times. that is of greater concern in my opinion. laughing at someone who may have been hurt is rather juvenile and in poor taste.

94. She needs to eat already! If she had fueled up on food instead of drugs she would of had the energy to hold that "heavy" waterering can while strutting ~ I mean stumbling!

95. It is very unfortunate that these models starve themselves in order to fit into their modeling clothes. They are not the "normal every day women's size". And drugs, maybe they do drugs to keep thin for our viewing pleasure. Sad.!

98. I thought that the model was doing a fine job, except when she was having problems. I think that the pail, having water in it is what threw her off balance. Like tanker trucks with no baffles, can turn to fast and the liguid inside will roll a truck over. Give her a break folk's, till you know all the fact's. Some of the comment's are so sad, they show what I world has come to.

99. She slipped on the water that spilled from the can. Leave her alone.

100. Naomi Campbell wore shoes by the same designer and fell on her ass too. I felt sorry for this poor girl. How mortifying!!!! It's bad enough to fall once but then to fall again on your way back? THAT SUCKS!

101. She should have just left he pail on the runway think that may have been the problemo' some jerk should have told her not to use it, security! security! I threw up a whole lot this time, took out a desk!

102. It was an embarassment for the model falling like she did. It was a good thing she had her panties on. Had it been so she would have been more so embarrassed. That would have been the picture of the year.

103. I am a guy that enjoys looking at hot female models, but the shoes and walk they are subjected to are apparently the creation of some sadistic freak type with control issues.

104. this is awful- why did they put water in the can?! it probably weighed 20+lbs. and is no doubt responsible for balance problems- also, did you know that most times a models clothes are selected with no regard at all to what size shoe she wears? Heavy watering can+wrong size shoes+skinny girl=FALL DOWN!!!

105. Why was there water in that bucket anyway. What is the point? After all, it was just a prop. So silly
