West Coast friend Allie Skirts, a retired gossiper, e-mailed me his fashion superiority the other day.
"Skirts always had first row seats for every show at Bryant Park. Unfortunately you wont ever know the surreal sight of watching Cindy, Elle, Naomi, Linda, Kate and Tyra strut down the runway. Those were the days. Now you get anorexic Eastern Block [girls]."
Such jealousy does not become you, Skirts. Although the veracity of that statement is undisputed, too bad you missed the real issue. All the female models here this year are fully covered.
So, if you must mock me, mock my keen ability to pick the year when fashion buttons up.
This is more upsetting than watching the Playboy channel on scramble. There's been an occasional exposure, but nothing that could even match the Vanity Fair cover with Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johanssen that made a stir on Tuesday.
Word on the street is that I would have enjoyed the Reem Acra show on Monday. That would have been a nice piece of information to have at say, oh I don't know, Monday!
