My first fashion party

I was at the Calvin Klein 40th Anniversary party for all of five minutes when a guy walked in with a hat made of, I'm pretty sure, tinkertoys. It was all I hoped it would be.

This is what it's like to walk through a fashion party with Kate Betts: She kisses every fourth person on the cheek and says, "You came all the way from (Milan/Tokyo/Paris/Los Angeles)!" Then she tells you she's bored and leaves even though it's 10. I pretended I was bored too and left. Now I'm at my hotel doing nothing and actually bored.

Here's what I learned: I should have become a fashion reporter. Other than Kevin Bacon (dude, it's 2008, drop the fauxhawk) and David Schwimmer, there were no straight dudes there. And no women under 5'10". And it looks easy to make conversation. Like, "Hey did you see the guy with tinkertoys on his head?"
