What's Exciting About Fashion Week?

What's exciting about fashion week is that I'm doing a really big show and I haven't done one in a long time. I'm qualifying "big" as 400 or 500 people at Hammerstein Ballroom. It's not that big, actually, because we used to have thousands of people. I'm not so nervous. I used to get nervous, and then for awhile I pretended to be nervous, because everybody expected me to be nervous. But I'm not nervous now. I'm actually medicated now, so it takes the edge off. Xanax. It's kind of great. It really helps. It's "as needed" so you can take it every third or fourth day, you don't have to be anesthetized the whole time.
