Hi,
Oh my! Can life be any more "stressful" right now? I am at that grateful yet exhilarating time of nailing down what I am going to wear for Fashion Week. Perhaps I should warn you...this post is going to be good...it's going to be juicy, it's going to be telling, it's going to be...my final public plea for some HOT designer clothing!
Here's the Deal
OK, well I don't want to get all Star Jones** on you, but I actually have secured a watch to wear for Fashion Week. I will not name it, I will not flaunt it ... all I will say is that the brand is Italian, the watch is being given to me, I will be videotaped wearing said watch, and the PR firm it comes from is top notch. That said... my fear is that I really will be going COMMANDO (much like Naomi in that picture to the left) come September 8th when I am at the Bryant Park tents with my videographers (camera man 1 & 2 respectively.) I explained a week or so ago how I made a request for designer clothing; I then hinted again a few posts ago about my frantic goal of getting to a smaller side of size 6. I share all of this not for pity, but so that others may understand my dilemma, and just what it takes to prepare for the amazing experience that is Olympus Fashion Week.
So, you may be thinking "Tia, you cover all of these designers, all of these happenings all of these...whatever, how could this be?" Well, that is precisely what I'd like to know...any takers on this question? The first thing that came to me is to cry DISCRIMINATION*** but that's SILLY...that doesn't exist anymore. Besides what would that do?...that only works in law suits or like when you enter retail stores after hours, and people don't recognize you or something ... not in simple clothing requests. Next thought, perhaps I should be seeking out designers that specialize in incredible jaw dropping looks for tall chicks. Let's face it...the idea here is to WOW my viewing audience with the quintessential aura of a designer's ARTISTRY to provide an elusive air of EXCLUSIVITY, and as always to look HOT! Unfortunately, it is still undetermined as to how this all will pan out...I am trying my best not to be a nervous wreck!
I guess my real concern is feeling sexy and carefree; in other words, feeling on top of the world (if I do not get warm fuzzies from the clothing I'm wearing...FORGET IT!) Well, I guess that's it! In a nutshell, these are my rampant thoughts; hopefully, I will get my hands on some amazing clothing...and soon. Funny, the fact that millions of viewing eyes will be taking note of what I'm wearing during Fashion Week doesn't make me at all nervous. I'm already preparing for that type of pressure via my upcoming TV show appearance this weekend.
OH MY GOD!!!! What the h#@! am I going to wear for that?
:(
**- Star Jones -- I love ya Star, but I gotta be careful about flaunting my receivables around. Funny, I am actually an Al Reynolds supporter ... such a sweetie... always so smiley when you see him. You go Al! anytime you decide to run for office you got my vote!
***-discrimination -- of course it exists, but that has no place in my lil deal. I just thought I'd stir things up. I myself am equal opportunity, but by and large I buy and wear American, of course I may lean towards Parisian wear as my finances improve.
