These celebrities were kind enough to breathe in the same general vicinity of me in the last 17 hours:
Sofia Coppola exited backstage after the Anna Sui show and stopped for a pic or two.
Mickey Rourke, once a great actor and poor boxer but now just a train wreck, had a front-row seat for Esteban Cortazar.
Amber Valletta, a legitimately beautiful model turned actress, sat across from me at Cortazar. I tried for eye contact, but that would clearly be a waste of her time.
Lance Bass, the former N*Sync singer, took in Cortazar show, as did fashion expert Patrick McDonald.
Tinsley Mortimer exercised her socialite status with a front-row spot for Badgley Mischka. As did Andre Leon Talley, the style icon who used to be on every VH1 and E! style show ever made. Phillip Bloch, the famed L.A. stylist who did a cameo on HBO's "Entourage" in season two, also wore his thin mustache into Mischka.
