Since fashion week had not officially begun yesterday evening — things kicked off today with a massive parade of BlackBerry-dingling fashionistas, models in lockstep, singing stylists, and the requisite drag queens down Fifth Avenue, didn’t you hear?

Or at least that’s how I’d run fashion week opening ceremonies, if I were in charge of same — the show I worked was not a “show” but a “presentation.”

Instead of marching down a runway, we got our hair did and our shiny leggings shimmied into and our “Space Age Sophia Loren” faces on and our two-inch acrylic nails that impeded manual dexterity to an amazing degree, and then we posed. For two hours. In front of a gaggle of gawkers. Important gawkers, I’m sure.

The blonde in the middle of the top row, in the red-and-black dress, was from Australia and she was really cool. One of the girls had her period — you can perhaps imagine how difficult it was to place a tampon with those damn nails on. Toileting myself during my one break was hard enough — I had to get a stylist’s assistant to help me jack up the shiny tights. You have to lower the boundaries around your body a lot to model.


But hot damn! Did I love how I looked in the yellow get-up.

best model blog ever!
