NY Fashion Week

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2012 Collections

I spent a limited amount of time outside the "tents" but I have a feeling most of the major celebrities either went through a secret entrance or the bigger named shows were moved to locations outside of Lincoln Center. Given the stampede of photographers and fans surrounding Kimora Lee Simmons and Joan Rivers, I can only imagine what kind of attention bigger named celebrities would have drawn. And I don't think there would have been enough bodyguards to protect them. So Kimora Lee Simmons is freaking tall. The funny thing is that in real life, if you're a woman who's 6ft tall, that's kind of awkward which is a good reminder that most models are almost weird looking in real life. I mean it's hard enough to date in NYC as it is but can you imagine having to then narrow down your choices to men above 6ft tall? Kelly Osbourne looked stunning even with purple hair. She has literally managed to transform herself by losing weight and I hope it's a happy, sustainable weight for her. They both managed to grow into their brands in such a classy way that for a moment, I literally forgot that they both rose to fame as reality T.V. stars.

Gaining Exposure Through Fashion Week

NY Fashion WeekNY Fashion WeekAfter a slightly exhaustive internet search, I finally discovered this is Abigail Spencer after having only remembered she was in Mad Men and had dated Don. My amazing memory and facial recognition skills strike again! I've often considered becoming a paparazzi but then question the moral implications. Then again, there are plenty of well known actors who have managed to stay out of the stoplight, making me think that those who are photographed put themselves in situations where that will happen.

Justin Timberlake has a new website equipped with a blog. Hmm. Talk about web 2.0.. are we at web 3.0 yet? The idea that you can get original content from celebrities. Jeeze, I wouldn't want to be a celeb PR right now. And that I know that at 11pm tonight, JT or someone who works for him is blogging away. Not at some fabulous party, but in front of a fabulous, souped up laptop.

JT

Only I would somehow find myself at a Justin Timberlake party wearing an over-sized H&M turtleneck, flat boots, my purple pants (of course), and a black, Gap tank top. More details tomorrow when I'm not so completely exhausted. Also managed to lose one of my favorite earrings in an effort to sex myself up by removing my turtle neck. But oh yeah, it was so worth it. Tear. Big Tear. I guess style trumps function when you're photographing these events, cause hey, you never know.

The whole experience was very exciting. I got to see Scott Schuman from The Sartorialist in action as well as Garance Dore. It was tough trying to "make friends" with the models turned photographers but one was very nice. I guess the trick is trying to play it cool. Tonight I'm skipping my spinning class (gasp!) and the gym, to play paparazzo again at the Marc Jacobs show. Location secret. And then perhaps chilling outside a Cynthia Rowley party. Hopefully my hands will stay warm in the cold. yeah, so if you like my celebrity stalking approach, pass my link along and click on the ads. Baby needs a new camera. Like the 5D! I know. Craziness. I already want a new camera.
