Rubbing Elbows with the Stars....

All right, not exactly. The last celebrity I actually saw was Claire Danes two years ago at the Museum of Natural History. She was wise enough to keep her elbows well out of my reach.

Only a few short days ago I did, however, attend a delightful soiree hosted by GQ for the magazine's recipient of their Fashion Designer of the Year award, Mr. Alexander McQueen (somehow Puma got all tangled up in this as well, hence he bizarre leather sneakers hanging from chains in the ceiling...go figure).


Mr McQueen was nowehere to be seen...but the drinks were free and plentiful, the hors d' oeuvres delicious and the catering staff only slightly cranky (the lighting, however? Extremely unflatering.)


Thank you New York fashion week, and thank you NEW FRIENDS!
