Before the high fashion really got rollin´, this fella danced up and down the aisle in the more "traditional" manner. Most likely scaring the bejeezus out of the mostly non-peruvian crowd. "Oh dear, do you think that could be one of those Shining Path people?"

The two employees who then did multiple runway walks in $2-300 alpaca sweaters were definitely of a different class than this masked employee. This was evident on two levels: 1) the "models" were the attendants in three piece suits who waited on the clients; the other fellow wore more of a doorman type uniform and performed more menial tasks; 2) I am loathe to play the race card, but it was hard to miss. The "models" were most definitely from a higher socioeconomic class and just a bit whiter than the man in the mask. Only an observation. Does that make me racist? Or am I just programmed to see things that way coming from the most PC of
nations?

Anyway, shock and awe were two feelings I felt as the crowd clapped and whistled (was that a wolf whistle I just heard? ) during the fashion show. But how many models have to then hand sell the wares they just paraded up and down the aisle to their audience? Take that Paris and New York!
