Glamazons from all over the world have occupied Manhattan in preparation of Fashion Week.
I see them everywhere, willowy, angular, with wide set eyes, perfectly blown hair, short skirts and sky high heels, extending their already long legs to even more intimidating length.
I have to remind myself while dressed in my office attire that wearing 6 inch weapons of mass seduction will make any woman capable of not stumbling look statuesque. I love seeing these creatures though, watching them move is almost as fascinating as watching wild life on safari.
Fashion week is always exciting and yours truly will also be walking the runway for 6 designers next Thursday. Covering behind the scenes anxiety in a quest for perfection will be interesting.
I am looking forward to it. After all land of fantasy is my weakness...

Last Saturday
I went off to Sullivan Room on a whim. It wasn't planned, it was a 10 pm decision.
After 3 weeks of absence it felt great to step into the cellar.
The menu: Niki McNally and Demi (SOS Collective).
As I descended into my favorite hideaway I was pleasantly surprised. Niki was playing tribal house to near perfection. She was clearly inspired, I haven't seen the crowd move and cheer quite like this to her previous sets. We spoke after her set and she informed me of her change in style, I have to say tribal infused with deep house suited her. The change in style was more of an adjustment perhaps, a step to the next level. I don't think she will relinquish her deep roots and electro top notes yet, but a tribal infusion was energising and refreshing. It almost seemed she broke away from a pack; a pack of monotone sounding DJs who clearly forgot (or never learned) how to stage a proper build up/release sequence.
This beauty is climbing her way to the top.
Demi had a slow warm up, but by 3 am sounded promising. I had to leave though, there were more pressing priorities in place for me than waiting for someone to deliver after a slow warm up.
New rules: Headlining DJs have to pick up the energy the openers left for them! More warm up after a warm up is disappointing. You have gotten spoiled and now leaving ample room for more inspired to take your coveted spot. C'est la vie!!!
