With an upcoming writing deadline and other projects in the works, I have been a busy, busy girl. BUT last week was LA FASHION WEEK and even though I have work to get done, there is always a little time for fashion, fun and FABULOUSITY!
Saturday, I woke feeling a bit under the weather. I had a sore throat, the sniffles and I felt all achy. I hate being sick! I laid low all day, but still didn’t feel better. SO I stayed home and missed out on the FASHION WEEK opening party hosted by LA DIRECT Magazine at Kress Night Club.
My FASHION WEEK started with the YMI Jeans’ fashion show and party. The show opened with Kimberly Caldwell from American Idol fame striking a fierce pose in a super cute party dress, followed by models in jeans, shorts and cute tops. The show finished with Ms. USA (who is gorgeous) and Ms. Universe strutting in unison. Poor Ms. Universe had to wear a terrible glittered denim dress (Denim should never have glitter!) The show was fun, but the party was not so my friend Sona and I headed to ONE SUNSET where I danced and partied with friends.
Monday evening, I attended the Julia Clancey show at Smash Box Studios in Culver City. Her cute, Grecian inspired minis and headdresses made my heart go pitter-patter. I would love to wear every single one of the dresses. I love dresses! My friend Lesa Amore walked in the show. She is a retired model (still gorgeous) who showed up all the young girls with her strut, spins and poses. SO FUN!
Tuesday afternoon, I went back to the tents at Smash Box for the D’amore Swimwear show. Caroline D’amore, the designer, is a good friend of mine. She is also a well-known model, talented DJ and budding actress (She is FABULOUS)! Recently, she gave me one of her sexy one-piece bathing suits, which I love, so I was excited to check out the full collection on the runway (and pick out other ones that I want). I arrived early and everything was a mess since Caroline wasn’t there. The poor thing couldn’t get away from her movie shooting on the East Coast and had to miss her fashion week debut. Luckily, her friends came out in throngs to support her. Mina Suvari created quite a stir in the front row, as did Kim and Kourtney Kardashian. Slade and Jo from Real House Wives of Orange County / Date My Ex were there too. Although, Caroline was dearly missed on the runway, her curvy models (a rarity in the modeling world) did her proud by strutting their stuff in her sexy suits.
Wednesday night, I had dinner with my friend Dwight at Katsuya on Hollywood Blvd. I’m not a huge sushi fan, but the crispy rice spicy tuna is to die for and the scene at the sushi bar is FABULOUS! (Brody, Lauren and the gang were filming The Hills just a couple tables away).
After dinner, I headed to the Wet in Cement event sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue at Boulevard3. The event was for charity benefiting Operation Smile and hosted by Cat Sadler from E! (I want her job! I should have tackled her to the ground! Haha)! I posed on the red carpet in the black ruffled dress that I borrowed from Jazmin, the designer of Li Cari. I was also feeling a little wild, so I rocked some red lipstick to kick the evening up a notch. Wet Cement clothing showed their hip t-shirts on the runway, then apl.de.ap from the Black Eyed Peas rocked the stage. The party was fun, but I headed home at a decent hour, so I wouldn’t be tired and non-productive the next day.
Thursday, I went to check out the Samora show at the tents at Smash Box. Years ago, I walked in her show and we have stayed in touch ever since. She made a dress special for me to wear to her show. It was bright pink (which is not usually my color of choice), but it was fun and different. Her new collection was Parisian themed, classy, sexy and FABULOUS. I loved the little black body suit and the white pearled peek-a-boo dress.
This is the last season that LA FASHION WEEK will be at Smash Box Studios in Culver City, so I’m glad that I got to be a part of it. IMG (the agency that throws all fashion weeks) has decided to part ways with Smash Box, so there was a big party after the shows and of course I was on hand to bid LA FASHION WEEK as we know it farewell. I look forward to seeing what LA FASHION WEEKS will be like in the future.
Friday night was the end of LA FASHION WEEK. I attended the Li Cari show downtown at The Barker Block Galleries. The designer is a very talented 20 year-old that I met a couple of years ago. I’ve modeled in many of her shows, but decided this time to just be a guest. She dressed me in a cute white and black party dress and I sat front row to view the new collection, “Neon and Nautical.” I loved the opening dress and definitely spotted a couple fun ones that I will for sure borrow for events in the future.
LA FASHION WEEK was FABULOUS, but now its time to get back to work!!

Oh meine Schatzi!
You making me feel my age. I didn't have a clue about who or what most of these designers, magazines or night clubs are, and there contributions to the fashions industry. Kinda sad eh. Well, what give me a bit of respite of my putting the other foot in the grave, and keep the life support turn on, is I can rely on you, my little Fashionista Diva, to fill in all the Fabulous details to make me feel as if, I'm still in the youth game.
Hey not all was missed by me. I did recognized one delectable little morsel, that was a sight for these old,cataract prone eyes. The crispy rice and spicy tuna. Now that sound absolutely FABULOUS. LOL :) Take care little Mausi, Gene
