Live from Bryant Park Hotel-1st Blog

   It was a rush of excitement just getting to set foot in the hotel, not to mention getting access to a room during fashion week 08.  I worked in the Spanx room yesterday, and it was all "a-buzz" with catwalk gossip and runway happenings.  "Sophia Bush was in here the other day"  "The Tyra Banks show may come in and run a special in here today" and "I saw Carmen Electra but I thought it was Fergie, but then I was like 'she's way too pretty to be Fergie'." 
   Dylan Lauren came in and talked about how she or her father is shooting for the cover of Vogue soon and she sounded really bubbly and friendly.  She has a spread of her kiddish but classy apartment in a fashion mag that I will get back to you with the title.  She says she doesn't like when people make their homes look like they're straight out of "Fine Living" magazine.  She adds her own personal touches and keeps it looking like someone actually lives there instead of looking all stark and cold like a museum.
I totally agree with her on that one, because a home loses it's warmth when it's all about making it look stylish and modern.  I prefer warmth with splashes of vintage and some shabby-chic.
I would have given my Prada bag (if I had one) to be at Vera Wang yesterday.  But alas!  No gift bags were given out??  Hmm...  Didn't sell enough dresses to afford a little sample sized La Mer or even a travel-sized Bumble and Bumble shampoo?  Come on.  I did happen to grab 3 bags of Dale and Thomas popcorn and about $15 worth of fashion magazines from the good ole hotel lobby.
