UGP fashion show - By Sebastian Surroc - UGP Creative Director.

How better to show off a rockabilly and tattoo inspired collection than at
your local dive bar. In this case the local dive is Odin’s Den. Located
behind a 7-11 and next to one of the South’s many greasy spoons, it’s hard
to get more Florida than the Den. On any given day you’ll find a combination
of tree trimmers, punk rockers, scenesters, old farts and of course beer
lovers all enjoying clouds of cigarette smoke and some of Florida’s finest
cool beer. Good place for a fashion show? Probably not but we’re UGP and
we’re anything but conventional. So here are my highlights of the night in
no particular order.

- Setting up at 1pm and finding the bar already bustling with either the
un-employed, the retired or those awaiting their next DUI trial.

- Getting to the bar a 6pm and finding it packed with camo hats, rat tails
and HiTek work boots. TIF (This is Florida)

- The overwhelming smell of swamp gas or trash, I couldn’t quite figure
which one, coming from every direction.

- Super drunk lady with giant bolt-ons dancing with everybody and
everything. SIDENOTE – Her and her husband were part of that earlier 1pm
crowd. This is now a full 7 hours of drinking. Party!

- Hair and make up being done in the back kitchen of the bar next to a
mountain of kegs.

- Billy from Eat the Elderly telling me to take a pull of Jim Beam and stop
being a pussy.

- Who brought the dicks? The local Orlando hellions show up to have fun,
drink and try to burn the pace down.

- Crazy drunk lady from earlier showing her shit and crazy drunk husband
start round one of several boxing matches to come through out the night.

- Eat the Elderly comes on and immediately start to rock everyone’s balls
off. This ain’t you average fashion show.

- Greg Smee, one of our models, drinking Windex and spitting it into the
crowd. He did the same thing with Ketchup, Beer and paper towels. I think
this kid is part Billy goat.

- Models finish their walk and chaos ensues. Eat the Elderly plays three
more songs and the whole front row is a tornado of arms, legs, metal head
banging, picking up change and beer cans.

- Success! Everyone has a great time and now it’s time to get something to
eat. This wouldn’t be Florida if we didn’t get to end the night by
witnessing some down home Southern domestic abuse. Remember the drunk lady
from earlier? Well, her and her husband are now full-on wrestling, under
taker style, out in the parking lot. Dialed. TIF.

All in all, it was an amazing and everyone had a great time. I want to thank
Holly and Terry at Odin’s for giving us the Space. Pamela at Redbull and the
girls who came out. Corrine at Alchemy and all the Stylists who worked in
the tiniest space under the most impossible conditions and made everyone
look amazing. All of our models for the amazing job that they did. Eat the
Elderly – my favorite band, they’ll be your favorite band too. Marty for
taping the whole event. Chad for coming and shooting photos. My creative
Team – Stef Tor and Kyle Hyams. Wann Chong, our boss, for giving us the
creative freedom to put something like this together.

“As a fashion designer I have never been so excited about a show like this before. I felt as if UGP's first ever Fashion show was a success everyone was having fun and wylin' out in traditional UGP Fashion. Thanks to Alchemy hair Salon, Eat The Elderly , all of the models and most importantly all the loyal UGP supporters” –Stef Tor

“BMX needs more of this” -unknown
“Nothing but good vibes and a positive buzz in the air” -David Papandras
“I got a lot of wild sh*t on film, the video is going to be wild” -Kyle Hyams
“Ron Bonner’s stunt double was there, laugh and all” –Chad DeGroot
“Being 22 years old, this is the best the line has ever looked” -Mark Mulville
“There was a 50 year old flashing her tities and one of the models pissed on the runway while drinking Windex” –Orlando Weekly
