My favorite moments from the week, in no particular order:
- Baby Phat. Hot beats, great in-chair dancing from Jade and my "What up, Jericho?" to Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
- Being the only person aside from Ron Artest and his two friends to know who Ron Artest was at the Chris Aire show. At least until fellow NBA stars Chris Webber and Elton Brand showed up. They likely could recognize Artest.
- Backstage access to Heatherette. Crazy scene. Very cool. Found a new appreciation for fashion shows.
- Betsey Johnson is still crazy. Likely always will be. Her shows always entertain. Brilliant remixes of music that are as insane as she is.
- Watching some paparazzi dude fall flat on his face while running to get a shot of Paris Hilton. Oh, now that was some funny stuff.
- Accents from roughly 349 countries and one from Texas. Guess which one stood out the most in New York City.
- Jamie-Lynn Sigler. I'm just sayin.
- Free drinks at the Bryant Park Hotel.
- Second-row access to Esteban Cortazar. That was a joyous time. Felt like a socialite.
- A photographer being impressed by some of my photos from the Vena Cava presentation.
- Studying Anna Wintour.
- Not being in an office for the week.
