Fashion Week Rundown

Well Gang,

I did it!!!! I survived Fashion Week. Whow, it was seriously brutal. It began so crazy. It's very rare that I attend the first day, but so much has been going on and I became so consumed with work that I missed my online registration deadline. The penalty - on-site registration. I expected a hidious line and annoying people so early in the morning. But, I was pleasantly surprised. Registration was smooth and quick.

Oddly, the sights, sounds and smells of Fashion Week have not changed from where I sat in Bryant Park that early morning. As well, something about Sixth Ave. on that beautiful Friday morning seemed a little remote; almost non-New York-ish. I am seriously optimistic that over the next week the excitement of the fashion world will awaken 6th Ave and 40th St.

Regardless, I am still stoked!!!!!!!!

It's Monday morning and I have a pretty full day. Currently, I'm headed to Fashion Week. have an issue with my pass, so I'm arriving early in order to rectify the situation. I'll be here until about 2:00pm.

Believe me, it sounds like a short day, but it's truly intense and fast paced. At 2:30pm I'm headed over to the Empire Hotel to interview Alfre Woodard, Sanaa Lathan and Taraji Henson from tyler Perry's new film, "The Family that Preys." I screened it a week and a half ago. The cast is amazing, the film is great and this is a new area for Mr. Perry, however, he pulls it off.

When I got to the Empire Hotel, I was escorted to a sexy rooftop area where the interviews were held. Very classy!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, of course, Fashion Week usually doesn't seem to go off without a hiccup of controversy - animal activists are flanked in the front of the tents smeared in blood, wearing fake animal skin and carry photos of skinned animals.

It was pretty gross, but highly effective.
