Fashion rule Number Two: Always wear what designer is showing that day.
Today it’s Paul Hardy - I chose a peach ruffled dress, accessorized with my Fluevog Ivannas, and opera gloves. Gloves are all over the runway, so I’ve got to flaunt the fashion before the rest.
I started the day with the Zoran Dobric collection and [...]

Today’s the big day! Last night I decided to add a red carpet gown to the collection, so I was up all night. How many nights without sleep is that? What time do I have to be at the tent? Can’t think.

Woke up this morning with sore feet and pounding head. Why did I drink so much Smirnoff and Tanqueray at the Philip Sparks Drake Hotel after party last night? Oh yes…the bartender was so cute, I had to keep returning to keep him working.

OMG! I saw Jeanne Beker, Lucinda McRuvy, Glenn Baxter, and Robin Kay at the Holt Renfrew Media Cocktail Party! I was so nervous being in the same room as them, I didn’t know what to say. Luckily they served me Prosecco every 5 minutes, which made me feel better.
I really wanted to talk to Lucinda; [...]

Maybe I’ll keep it simple and accessorize with my fabulous cocktail ring [...]

Why does Fiona Newsome ruin everything?
While having dinner at Susur to pitch a pop culture show to a New York television producer, she pushed her way into our meeting and pitched her own show! How did she know we were having a meeting? Who would have told her?
Last week she called me promiscuous on ET [...]
