CHENNAI: The fashion show finale that concluded the Ascendas talent hunt at their premises in Taramani on Friday was quite unlike any other in the city. For starters, employees cheered fellow colleagues and urged them to go on stage. They left their corporate airs behind in the offices and yelled, whooped, whistled and hooted despite the vain efforts of the young female emcee to get the crowd in order. This ‘supermodel’ seek out witnessed a noisy couple of hours. For the first sequence, a bermuda clad gent hit the stage with a fruit basket with real fruits inside. Undoubtedly, this wasn’t your usual glam-Chennai ramp occasion. The theme was ‘Metro Man’, and so, as the models took their turns — dhobi, gardener, daddy with a prop-baby and even a chef holding a live chicken — it was evident each one had a role to play. However, by the end of it, the audience got a little restless. Where were the ladies?A spoof of Kollywood cinema came next. And whether it was MGR with Thottal Poo Malarum playing for effect or a slightly younger version of Vijay (checked shirt and all) putting his hand forward for his trademark ‘Vettiduven’, the entertainment value had everyone, judges included, sitting up and taking note.Certainly the most unexpected sequence of the lot, was a gothic trip at the end, complete with dark wings, loud eye shadow and let’s not forget a steel axe for impact. Dark angels or demons of death, one really wasn’t sure. It was a fun show and with ‘loud’ team support, the winning groups were left beaming. While Intelenet Global Pvt Ltd were announced Runners Up and Cobra Solutions took home first place, the reigning titles of Mr and Ms Ascendas 2011 were given to Pramodh and Ranjini, both from the winning teams respectively.
