A glass of Whiskey Blue's exclusive Rose Sauvage designed by Viktor & Rolf? A trusty old gin and tonic? Or a Gisele, the new Agua Luca cachaca and champers drink at Kumo? Whatever you're drinking, let's toast to Monday morning.
Cheers.
The debut of Robin Antin's Pussycat Dolls lingerie line closed down Fashion Week at Mercedes-Benz Smashbox with a bang: looks upon looks of sexy, playful, and stripy underthings; a breakdancing duo; a short vingette involving neon boas; and a surprise live performance from the Pussycat Dolls. In the front row? Quincy Jones, Dr. Dre, and P.Diddy. Meowie wowie.
"I just wear some off-the-rack nonsense but I do pick out all my own ties. I like color" - Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at The Getty House during Future Fashion L.A., the cocktail party that launched Market Week.
On view in the garden, fifteen looks fashioned expressly for the event by local designers using earth-conscious fabrics. Skin, Bahar Shahpar, and The Stronghold being the friendliest (eco and otherwise) of all.
Last night brought us this much closer to being fierce. And fabulous. And ah-mazing. Jane Cha (exec producer of Project Runway and senior VP of production at Full Picture) hosted friends, press folk, and countrymen for wine and tiny sandwiches on the Marilyn Monroe Bridge at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel so that they could say hieee to Project Runway winner Christian Siriano and take a better look at the voluminous collection that fetched him a win.
The Doss caught up with him for one tranny hot-mess second.
DC: Are you sick of the F word?
CS: No, I still use it. I don't use it as much as they made it seem like I do on the show. That's one hour out of 24 hours condensed.
DC: Have you splurged on anything since your win?
CS: No. I've only bought one pair of Kenneth Cole silver high-tops. There hasn't been any time. But when I get paid, I'm going to move, and I'm getting lots of fabulous furniture.
DC: What do you think of fashion in L.A.?
CS: I think it's fabulous. Women can wear anything they want here because the weather is incredible. They can wear heels all night long. In New York I have seen those girls struggling on them cobblestones.
DC: Have any shopping plans while you're here?
CS: I'm going to stop by Opening Ceremony -- it's so much better than the one in New York because you can actually see the clothes. And then Barneys, I like the Barneys here a lot.
DC: What did you think of Amy Poehler's SNL skit?
CS: Are you joking? I tried to imitate what she did, and I can't.
DC: Hey, is that Eve?
CS: Yeah, she's here to see me.
And scene.
