My lawyer and I are crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s on my copyright infringement lawsuit against The New York Times. In case you didn’t steal your neighbor’s newspaper like I did this morning, you may not have seen that the cover story of today’s Style section is basically a rehash of the post I made on January 20th about cast members of “The Jersey Shore” attending New York Fashion Week. Any way you slice it, it seems that Ms. Cathy Horyn and I are on the same wave length. Unfortunately, The Times’ fashion critic left out the one major question that’s been on every one’s mind: Will the Pregnant Man be at Badgley Mischka or not?
Seems like there’s about to be a serious situation.
Fashion Week is nigh and as I know all too well, fashion PR agencies are busy building up their databases with hundreds of eligible invitees. While many designers like to litter their front row with fashionable A-listers (Think: Bosworth, Kruger, Beyonce) others like to go the skeevy route and invite representatives from the latest pop-culture phenomenons. Previous years’ front rows have seen the likes of Ashley Dupre and pint-sized gymnasts. And with the Kardashians confirmed to attend Fashion Week’s last showing in Bryant Park on behalf of Kim’s collaboration with Bebe, it seems that the gloves are off.
Attention all designers: With the stars of “Jersey Shore” heavy on the press circuit (Rachael Ray today!) I’m thinking it’s a golden move to invite Snookers, J Woww and Pauly D. to view your FW10 presentations. While you’re at it, you should probably also invite Jon Gosselin, Justin Bieber, Komiko-tan and the Pregnant Man.
As someone prone to situational anxiety, the idea of doing something as precise and tedious as organizing granules of salt into complex patterns with my hands makes me want to curl up and twitch. But, I guess that’s where Japanese conceptual artist Motoi Yamamoto and I differ. I knew something would eventually come between us… The large-scale absurdity of his perfectly curated salt installations is most often likened to phenomenons such as Stonehenge, Iguazu Falls and The Situation’s abdominal region.
