Fashion Bawls

I don't know what marketing genius thought about naming an energy drink BAWLS, but there was an endless free supply of that stuff at the tents during Fashion Week. I tried one today, and quickly had to spit it out. Nasty. The advertising is also a bit cliche and is full of innuendos.

It's a caffeine alternative slash energy drink that comes in a flashy bottle. It was raining all day and I felt a little sluggish so I tried one. I have no idea what this stuff retails for, or if its even for sale yet... But I'll tell you one thing, the fashionistas were guzzling that thing down.

I guess if taking two of these to hit up that after party is what you gotta do...Then go for it. I'll skip this, thank you.

Keep your eyes on...Javi.

New York Fashion Week is almost over, and I can't wait to share stories from the tent.

But before I get to the dirt, I'd like to give much love to my girl from college Javi Hairston, who modeled in Project Runway season 3.



Javi has always had that je ne ce quois factor. Even in our little cookie cutter private college in upstate New York, her fierceness stood out. Javi is the next "IT" girl to hit the runways...Hopefully she'll book a major campaign soon. I'm rooting for your girlie!

I'm so happy to see her on her way to doing big things...


Fire.

Fashion Week Begins!

I am so excited to finally attend my first Olympus Fashion Week. Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Fashion Week is "the shit". It's the one event I really look forward to every year. New York just transitions into a sea of eclectic individuals.



I got my credentials this afternoon and I was ecstatic! Pretty dope to get a "Press" pass...



I'm hitting up Bill Blass, Perry Ellis, and Chris Aire among others! Of course I will have my digital camera at hand, and post the pictures as soon as I get a chance with reviews on what was fabulous and un fabulous.

The hard part is figuring out what to wear.


I'll post a picture of what I decided on wearing. I think I'm going to stick to vintage tomorrow... Any thoughts?
