Winding Down


I have had a very busy week and it has been hard enough to keep up with sewing, let alone blogging. I haven't even been taking my outfit pictures, so I'm hoping to see some around the web. Luckily, Milk has a cute little photobooth that Claire and I took advantage of before the Erin Fetherston/Suno/Pamela Love/Illesteva/Billy Reid madness. We got out of there just in time - it was insanely packed and tons of people missed the shows while waiting in line.

Though I have admittedly missed several shows due to poor planning and/or tired feet, I am still not at the point where I'm "over" fashion week. I get a little stressed or tired - and sometimes I get bitter about isolated incidents - but the moment I feel too jaded to enjoy the insanity, I will happily hand over my invitations to someone who will appreciate it. It's easy to forget how lucky we are to have these opportunities and I, for one, want to cherish all of these moments while I have the chance. It can all be taken away at any time - why not enjoy it?

Also, for the record: I know a lot of people assume bloggers have taken over the front row seats, but most of us are still in the standing section. And you know what? It's an honor just to be invited.

  4. I think if I scored an invite I'd launch into a supremely embarassing happy dance (which come to think of it bears an eerie resemblance to my peepee dance). Your blog is fantastic, glad to see you were part of NYFW madness!

  8. oh man, standing seems like it could be a bit rough, especially if you're stomping around in some ankle crushing heels.

    BUT - I love your attitude. No sense in being there if you can't have fun.

    Continue to enjoy it!!!

  11. Funny photos! Forget the isolated incidents and enjoy yourself! (Also I recommend a footbath with a dash or peppermint oil for tired feet, in case you're still suffering)

  17. Bloggers have much more to contribute to the fashion community than some [snotty fashion mag editors] might think. Their posts offer honest and objective insight, and information to the fashion community that's easily accessible and completely relate-able. Thanks for all you do.

    i heard about the erin fetherston madness, and it actually makes me a little sad that so many people didn't get to see her collection this season considering how beautiful it is ):

  26. Brava, Keiko! Well spoken about the fashion show invitation appreciation. Though I've never been to one myself, I am really glad to know that fellow bloggers who are invited share the love when they're unable to attend.

    You're such a good person Keiko! xoxo

  27. Good for you Keiko!! good luck with the rest of the week, and let us know if you saw anything beautiful on the run way that utterly inspired you! i've never been to a real fashion show, even though I go to NYC almost everyday, so I'm so very curious what it's like.

  33. Hi Keiko,

    I've been reading about HSP. Maybe you are a Highly Sensitive Person? This makes that you will process sensory data much more deeply and thoroughly than some people. I've been reading about this subject :-) Very interesting!

    Nice blog!

  34. I would do anything for the opportunities you receive!

    ReplyDelete

  40. BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN
    Why American men should boycott American women

    http://boycottamericanwomen.blogspot.com/

    I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?

    American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.

    This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.

    BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN!

  50. My friend is obsessed with typography and loves the fonts you use for your blog!

    Do you happen to know what font your header is in? He asks me every time I look at your blog.
