Marchesa show review

Another demonstration show! That's where instead of waiting around for a runway show, models hang out in rooms wearing outfits and you walk around. Fun!


Marchesa

This one wasn't quite as good as the Halston one, since the models were standing on little platforms like mannequins instead of lounging around like it was a party at a Roman emperor's house. But still: fun!

The great thing about this show was it was a lot more like a party than a fashion event. People were talking and drinking these delicious ginger cocktails made with Moet & Chandon and Domaine de Canton, and not paying that much attention to the clothing. In fact, the models were drinking water and talking to each other too.

I saw Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty and was glad my wife wasn't there, since she thinks he's cute, which he is not. I saw Amanda Bynes. Someone told me that Barbara Bush was there and I got crazy excited, but it turns out it's the young Barbara Bush, not the white-haired one. That was oddly disappointing.

Guliana Ranci from E! told me that black and white is in this year, which she learned from JLo. Then I overheard someone say, "Can you get a C-section and lipo at the same time?" It was a great party.

I talked to Harvey Weinstein some more about baseball. He mentioned that Ty Cobb, as I had randomly guessed, did indeed hit .421 one season, and then added that Rogers Hornsby batted .424. I think someone besides me went home and hit the Baseball Encyclopedia!

Harvey is married to the designer of this line who is crazy hot. Not just crazy hot for someone married to Harvey Weinstein, but crazy hot for someone who lives on the same planet as me. All I wanted to ask her was how she has sex with him, which I was pretty sure wouldn't offend Harvey at all. But instead I asked her if she always wears 7" heels. She said it was her first time. I'm a wimp.

From the little I noticed of the clothes, they were really nice. I like the dresses with the giant ribbon that looked like it was attached to the front.

But I had a couple of those ginger drinks.
