An Evening of Romance Fashion Show

So in February, a day or two before Valentine's Day, I worked at this fashion show at the Montelucia Resort, which is an Intercontinental hotel (see paradise). I worked as a dresser backstage and it was a lot of fun because they always start late so the other dressers and I got to admire the lingerie while off the models for a while. It was really fast-paced, as always, and very up-close-and-personal...I mean...I was in charge of putting bras and panties on these girls. And attaching those weird straps. Anyway, this girl in the picture below with me and Nelson is awesome, she lives in the same apartment complex as me, has a fantastic internship that I'd die for, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME! So if you know it, help me out because I need to hang out with this girl.

Valentino

I went to Strand Bookstore on Broadway and 12th today and saw a Valentino book for .... $900. I almost keeled over. But the pictures were beautiful and I ended up looking at it for, well, way too long to the point where $900 seemed reasonable (which it isn't).

This 1995 ad is really creative, don't you think?

(Fairly) Hot Child in the City

Really nice weather the past two days. I'm definitely enjoying my spring break.

Lady Gaga wore Armani Prive to the Grammy's. Jennifer Lopez and Amanda Seyfried decided to follow in her footsteps, but were more inspired by bubble wrap than anything. Yucky.
