BACKSTAGE AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: "Why are you looking at me while I'm doing her hair?"

"Seriously, why are you looking at me?"

I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt

I'm able to charge top dollar now (I don't get out of bed for less than $15K), yet I look older than 18 which is Cardinal Sin #1 for a runway model. Ugh, those bags under my eyes! Note to self: Stay away from cigarettes and alcohol the night before a show.

Fighting to Get In

OK, they may not be fighting to get in to Fashion Week, but we still REALLY enjoy looking at this picture.

Hands down, Gwen is in the Top 10 Media Whores Of The Moment: Pop Star-Turned-Hot-Designer-Turned-Mother... Gwen rocks our world!

The Arrival of Fashion Week's Glitterati

Speaking of mothers, can you believe that all of these women, except for the one on the far right, have many children?! Hoping daddy got lucky during fashion week...

"Yeah, we will totally cut out of here if you can get us into Ralph's 40th Anniversary party..."

Melrose from "America's Next Top Model" at Fashion Week

Wow this flesh-colored smock did nothing for Melrose yet she still got some attention. If she was taking tips from her Media Whore's handbook she would know that she committed three sins here:

1. She didn't look slutty enough
2. Her hair was up in a bun instead of down and flowing
3. Show some teeth when you smile (unless you're British & have shitty teeth, then keep your mouth glued shut, just like Melrose).

Are We Turning Anybody On Here?

There was a time when the words "male model" made the chicks among us giddy with excitement. That time is clearly gone. Let us say this: If you are going to channel Buzz Lightyear, Buckwheat & Richard Simmons for Fashion Week, can we please use some male heat? This is depressing all the way around...

Nigel Barker Looking HOT HOT HOT at Fashion Week

photo: John

Ok so he showed up LATE to a new designer show, which was so damned hot his seat was taken. Hearing I.M.'s dolphin cry from the front gates (only discernable by D.W. and a handful of police dogs), two not-so-worthy onlookers were booted from their front row seats to make room for Nigel and his young assistant. Anything for a Media Whore!

BOY DO I MISS I.M.

Once upon a time there was a very busy Press Pimp named I.M. For almost 15 years, I.M. spent the better part of August and January frantically planning the most dynamic, visually sensational fashion shows for New York's Fashion Week. Lo and behold, one season, a fellow Brit (did I not mention I.M.'s Scottish heritage?) descended upon Fashion Week from (gasp) California. I.M. was smitten. Fellow Brit convinced I.M. that his creative genius was needed in San Francisco, where Herculean attempts to compete with New York and L.A.'s Fashion Weeks were being planned. I.M, eagerly accepted the challenge. Though his devoted subjects were broken-hearted, they took comfort in knowing that though I.M. was spending fog-filled mornings speaking San Francisco-ese, he still considered New York his true home. So much so in fact, that I.M. still returns to New York for Fashion Week every September and February, accompanied by Fellow Btit and a slew of aliens (aka Californians) with him.

So be advised I.M.-watchers, the eagle has landed this afternoon. I.M. was spotted getting in a taxi at JFK at approximately 1 PM (EST) today.

Stay tuned...
