Bernie asked me to attend his annual Haute Hallowe’en Ball, which, of course, I had to attend. People would have talked if I was not there. He asked about the Fashion Mafia and I did not want to put him in danger of fashion exile, so I had to lie. I have never lied to [...]

For tonight’s Hallowe’en, my friends decided that we should go to the Bovine to see the Vicious Guns, so I decided I should be tragic punk princess Nancy Spungen. Courtney Love totally copied her.

This message arrived today:
Lucinda, darling:
We expect you have been enjoying your new gifts. You are the most sophisticated woman in fashion today and feel you would make the most fabulous addition to our family.
Yes, it is what I thought: I am being recruited by the fabled Fashion Mafia.

Okay, since I feel much better about fashion week after the LG party, I went out tonight to the Fritz Helder and the Phantoms Lagerfeld Lady video launch party at Strangelove.  The band was there and I finally got to meet them!  Even though they look so cool, they are incredibly nice and friendly.  They [...]
