What a day! Yes, I'm one very, very lucky person today! All of the NKU members' prayers and best wishes for me must have worked!
I'm just too excited now, I can't sit still to type. So, I'll do the easy stuff first, before I write how my day went. Please be a bit patient with me, as you can obviously see you're dealing with a rookie reporter.
Here's some tidbits about the photos posted:
GettyImage photos posted by Nicole: - The one with Nicole smiling (giggling?) and showing her engagement ring and bracelet was taken as Nicole touched the panel behind her to unveil the new ad. I was too far away from the stage at that point to take any picture, but I recognize the shot from what was projected on the screen.
- The two girls in ethic minority attire presented Nicole with gifts. The girl in red is from the Mongolian ethnic group, and she presented Nicole with a painting (I thought I heard that’s painted on calfskin). The girl with the elaborate headdress is from the Miao ethnic group, and she presented Nicole with a necklace. I could not get close enough to take a picture of the presents, nor catch a glimpse of them.
Nefert’s post:- The outdoor shot of Nicole with the 2 ethnic minority girls is from the top level of the Bund 18 building, and must have been taken during the photo call preceding the media event. In that picture, you can see the Oriental Pearl Tower across the river. That’s a famous Shanghai landmark. I don’t have any pictures from the photo session as I could not sneak in.
