Including me during fashion week. I was just looking at my calendar in the last eight days I covered 33 shows, did 15 designer interviews, 10 celebrity interviews, had 9 outfit changes, 5 blow outs,  was quoted 4 times as a “fashion and retail expert” (only one interview made it to print), went to 3 after parties, was on TV twice and had one panic attack. Total hours slept for the past 8 days? About 24… 

As predicted, the writer’s strike has brought a slew of celebrities to the tents that may not have been there otherwise. We all know Ellen Pomeo was at the Rag and Bone show, but the Bravo network has totally represented with Nikki Taylor and Tyson Beckford (Make Me a Super Model), Padma Lakshmi (Top Chef) and Nigel Barker (Next Top Model) in the front rows of Tracey Reese, Sass & Bide and Ashleigh Verrier. Marisa Hargitay ( Law and Order SVU) was in the front row of Lela Rose and Heidi Klum (Project Runway), Molly Simms (Las Vegas) and Sara Ramirez (Grey’ Anatomy) walked in the Heart Truth Red Dress show wearing a cute short hairdo and a HOT dress. I think fashion week should host a “writers only” party for all of those picketing writers!!

Yesterday I was at Rag & Bone and  met Ellen Pompeo. Can I just say how so totally nice she was? She was wearing a grey shift dress with tights and was sitting next to her husband in the front row. What I liked about her is that she seemed very down to earth, didn’t take fashion too seriously and seemed SO happy to be there. Really refreshing.

Heading over there now to see BCBG, Rag and Bone and to do a quick interview with Patricia Field. BUT FIRST- I must go pick up my invites from the peeps at People. I wish you all could see my house right now- there are piles and piles of papers, invites, samples and just general crap everywhere…
