It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Fashion Week

How do you know it is Fashion Week in NYC?

When you are an intern in Soho and a morning trip to the post office is almost entirely blocked off by paparazi (spelling?) in front of the Prada Store. The culprit: Lily Allen. The store was closed to the public while she shopped.

I continued down the block to the post office only to find I was 30 cents off for my package. The lady's at the counter, now used to seeing the intern with hands always full, told me when I came back I would not have to wait. Back to the office to get 30 cents and out again. This time, the stalkers were running through the streets to their cars, cameras in hand. I am assuming she left...on the way back, firetrucks and firemen filled the block in front of the office. This place always has sites to see.

The office was suprisingly slower. I did several retail related tasks...putting the correct pound amounts on the Suwha tags, coverting wholesale prices to retail prices, and double checking numbers. We also got the Karen Walker Eyewear lookbooks in and had to put them in folders and put Press Office labels on all of them. I also updated more contacts. Luckily they ordered pizza for everyone, which was much more enjoyable then the salami and cheese sandwhich I had packed to save money. It was so sad looking in comparison...anyway, I tried vodka sauce and mozarella cheese pizza for the first time and it was fantasic! And the day seemed to wisp away...after lunch I had to fight the itis with caffeine of course.

At six, I was off and went to get ready for the "dinner" event I was going to with Kim. Women tend to live out of their bag here and I was falling into this catagory. A big bag is a must. I did my makeup, hair, etc. in about 30mins and was off to the train to meet Kim further uptown. The event was not as big a deal as the promoters put it out to be. Joslyn, from America's Next Top Model, and her current agency were hosting. We sat down, got free champagne, had people come and chat with us, networked a little, and then called it a night around 10:30.

Tis all =)
