Menswear Runway

At the end of Cruella de Vil's menswear show, a female model with distinctly feminine features walked the runway, undoubtedly causing a huge stir in the fashion world.

It's not that no one has done this before. But this is the first time it has generated such a buzz on Paris, the most important stage of the world.

When it comes to avant-garde and innovation, London Fashion Week is the undisputed leader among the Big Four fashion weeks. But to do this at Paris Men's Ready-to-Wear Fashion Week is practically pushing the limits of market acceptance.

But the one who walked the runway was the Tiger Beauty who had been making headlines on Gossip Girl recently!

From her wild women's clothing accompanied by Tiger in the Gossip Girl" to her satirical menswear on the runway, she doesn't project the empress aura of legendary supermodels like Cindy Klaue.

It is a more assertive, undefinable stance, as he steps onto the runway that belongs to men.

Even amidst the sea of flashing lights from the murdered negatives, Charlize Theron still completed her one and only lap without making a single mistake.

Perhaps only Henry could tell that Charlize was trying to capture the spirit of Marlon Brando and El Pacino in the movie "The Godfather," walking with a gait different from that of a typical model on the runway.

This difference can be seen from the distance and position of her steps. It's not a feminine step that simply follows a straight line, allowing the hips to sway, but rather a step that's wider apart to the left and right.

The only limitation for her is that the time between going on and off the stage must be within a certain limit. Therefore, Charlize Theron cannot be too fast or too slow; she must complete this "performance" task at just the right moment.

Judging from her performance, she has indeed delivered a perfect record, one that may be difficult for even herself to replicate in the future.

The result was that Charlize Theron's outfit on the runway—a black Trench Coat paired with a beige plaid vest, a pure white shirt, black trousers, and a beige plaid bowler hat worn at an angle—generated a lot of inquiries and orders.

Our customers include both men and women, breaking down the gender boundaries that menswear can only be worn by men, and the preconceived notion that menswear suitable for women is unsuitable for men. Who says that men with a smaller, thinner build cannot dress smartly and stylishly?

This move made Cruella de Vil very happy.

Another unexpected bonus was that when this news reached the United States, it unexpectedly sparked another wave of moviegoing enthusiasm for "The Rock," which had already been showing for four weeks!

Although the girl only appears in a few scenes, everyone is eager to see how this controversial beauty performs in the film.

This surge of attention prompted JJ Harris to make an overseas call to discuss upcoming work with Charlize Theron.

If Henry hadn't been preparing to return to Los Angeles, JJ Harris would have come all the way to Paris.

Charlize lost a lot of jobs due to the Vampires's interference. Although she didn't get them all back this time, there was room for negotiation on the renegotiation of her salary.

Even those who return to their jobs know to proactively ask for a raise, without needing their agents to push for it.

This truly gave JJ Harris and Charlize Theron a sense of triumph and satisfaction.

The same goes for film auditions. Some big-budget production teams that were initially uninterested in Charlize Theron also offered her opportunities.

More job offers, of course, came from the runway. Many modeling agencies also tried to contact Charlize Theron.

But the girl had no intention of seeking opportunities on the runway. She knew very well that her future lay in Hollywood. Acting for all ages was what she wanted to strive for, rather than simply relying on her youth and starving herself to death.

However, Charlize Theron, who received a call from her agent in Paris, looked at her boyfriend with a strange expression after the call, and Henry couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

What's wrong?

"Jane told me you invested in Titanic. Sixty-five million."

"You want to know why I didn't get you a role, right?"

"Jane told me that she needed you to make some arrangements for me."

Henry explained, "I've read the script, and apart from the female lead, there isn't a single outstanding supporting role that suits you. Director Cameron did say he could help you get a small supporting role."

"But I don't think he was very willing either. You wouldn't think you could have an easy time joining the crew of this Tyrant on set under these circumstances, would you? That's why I think it's unnecessary."

"Besides, the filming schedule overlaps with your current work. Why give up these already arranged jobs to temporarily take on an insignificant supporting role?"

"And what about the female lead?" Charlize Theron had high hopes and wanted to try her luck.

Unfortunately, her boyfriend gave her a reason that was hard to refute. Henry said, "You don't fit James Cameron's aesthetic."

He prefers women who are more rounded and full-figured.

"Okay." Knowing how to make a decision, Charlize Theron stopped thinking about it.

What Henry didn't say was that the Titanic only truly made the director famous. Although the male and female leads also became famous, it actually hindered their acting careers. Participating in a production isn't necessarily a good thing.

Back in Los Angeles, the two immediately threw themselves into their work.

JJ Harris continues to actively promote his artists, including Charlize Theron. The girls, on the other hand, strive to seize every opportunity; when it's time to film, they dedicate themselves to their work, regardless of the size of the role.

Henry, on the other hand, is pushing forward the construction of the Undersea Laboratory, researching alien technology, and continuing to sponsor the Vampires hunters Blade and Abraham Whistler in their Vampires Carnage.

Then, when the girl has free time, he puts aside everything else and spends time with his girlfriend.

The remaining time was used for Hollywood -style social engagements. Since the Vampires got busy, Henry received more invitations to parties, and they weren't as sinister anymore.

Occasionally, when he felt like it, he would point out the problems Stark Studios encountered in developing digital imaging technology. Forget about this being his basic duty as a paycheck; Henry was pursuing his personal desire to be a pay thief.

In short, life was incredibly pleasant.

Just as I was contemplating whether to continue diving to the seabed tonight to assemble the natural gas generator set for the methane collection site and the nitrogen purification equipment, a message notification popped up on my computer.

Abraham Whistler posted emergency contact signals through a secret online message board set up by Henry.

Without much thought, Henry, who no longer needed to clock in and out, skipped work again.

As Henry passed by the small office, his plump, dark-skinned secretary was eating a donut while watering the cactus on the desk.

Julianne.

"Yes, boss." The chubby black woman put the things she was carrying back into the box, her big eyes wide, waiting for Henry's instructions.

He wanted to tell her that succulents don't need watering so frequently, and that this cactus was almost dead. But in the end, Henry only said, "I have to go now. Leave your phone number if anyone needs to contact me."

"Okay, boss."

Henry, having arrived at the basement parking lot, pulled his repaired off-road bicycle, which he had bought from the junkyard, and prepared to leave the company.

The reason I switched to riding a bicycle is not some bullshit reason like "for environmental protection" or "for exercise."

Simply because there were more people following them, I almost got stuck in traffic several times while driving. Fortunately, I managed to shake off my pursuers quietly by going through alleys, avoiding a chase on the streets of Los Angeles.

Charlize Theron just happened to want to get a car for work. She originally planned to buy any random one at the used car market.

Henry simply tossed the keys to the old Cadillac to the girl, leaving the gas money to himself.

He went to the junkyard and retrieved a bicycle, repaired it, and hit the road. This way, when he needed to use Super Speed or fly, he didn't have to leave the bike at the scene; he could just take it with him, greatly improving his mobility.

The reason I don't buy a new car or a Rolls-Royce- level high-end off-road bicycle is, of course, because I wouldn't feel bad if I lost it. As a Kryptonian with Super Speed and flight capabilities, a car is just a means of transportation; why bother about the brand or quality?

Since he was riding a bicycle, Henry simply hoisted it onto his shoulder and rode away through the gap in the watchtower, leaving the watchers with only his back and the back of his bicycle.

Oh, bicycles don't have exhaust pipes, so those people can't even get a taste of the bike's exhaust.
