One of our favorite readers Knox couldn't believe that we had tickets to the tents at fashion week and didn't go. The fashion show isn't all that great. The designers put all the buyers in the last row which is kind of silly when you think about it. The publicists get the celebrities in the front row when they aren't gonna buy anything. Last year was a bust. We saw the lines but there wasn't anything for us to buy because we only buy sizes 10 to 28. Plus they were really showing the couture dresses which we do not carry. So it really isn't that big a deal.
All the business happens back at the showroom. The usually have a cocktail party where you can meet the designer. Now with Tadashi that's no big deal because he doesn't speak much English, so a couple of polite bows are as good as it gets. Everyone was making a big deal out of the only celebrity to show up who was Cheryl Lee Ralph of Dreamgirls fame. I mean she was famous about twenty years ago. In the mean time the actual buyers were sort of pushed aside. I said to the wife, later for this bullshit and we left.
That's why we stayed in the store and sold shmatta's instead of hobknobing with celebrities of yesteryear. I don't think we missed much.
