my day

OK, I took a short term hiatus from the blog because it’s been really, really nuts lately. If you hit the magazine stand often you’ll know what I mean. I’ve been staffed on some pretty major stories for a totally awesome magazine that I can’t mention on this blog. BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t go to your favorite newsstand and search for my byline to figure out which magazine it is! C’mon! I know you want to spend hours of your day looking for my name everywhere!

In addition to the all the writing, the Fox Biz segments and generally trying to get my self together, I’ve been going out. A LOT. I forgot how fun spring is in the city…

Someone just wrote to me saying I should try get a perscription for Rittalin. Do they even make that any more?? I don’t need drugs peeps, I need solid advice from people who are able to get a bunch of stuff done. I want to hear everything and anything…

Ever get that deer in headlights feeling? Ever feel totally overwhelmed with all the stuff you have to do? Well that’s me right now. I LITERALLY HAVE 20 THINGS TO DO and I refuse to stay up all night and do them. If anyone has any time management suggestions, please let me know. Dying over here. It’s not funny anymore.

Talking about people redeeming their gift cards and if this is REALLY going to help the sluggish economy. The short answer is: No. Tune in if you are around!!

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… 

This is term my old friend used to use when we worked at MTV. She also used to say stuff like, “just bang it out.” Hence my life right now. I am “bananas” and just trying to “bang everything out.” Tomorrow is the beginning of fashion week. I will be appearing on Fox Business. I will be covering for various publications. I will also be doing an interview with Patricia Field. Thinking about it all is making my head spin.

In addition to a tanking market, I have had about 10,000 meetings, interviews and pre-interviews. Will write more later tonight- I totally thought this day was going to be relatively normal!!

That’s right peeps- my day is starting at 6:00 am because I have a shoot at Marie Claire. Call time is 7:00am.  Will take a bunch of pics from the set!!

Instead of going holiday shopping, I decided to plow through my “list of things to do today” and I am happy to report I got through most of of it! Expenses: Done. Responding to random e-mails: Done. Invoices: Done. Woo!

Also, stay tuned for the biggest, badest, most awesome last  minute gift guide coming to you at the beginning of the week. I promise you won’t be dissapointed!!
