One of the odder experiences I had at Gen Art Styles Competition last night was as I was doing my reporting duties for Fashion Wire Daily where Almost Girl is being made into a column.
Diane Von Furstenberg was judging the finalists so being the enterprising columnist I am I walked up to her to get a quote on the competition on my teeny tiny video camara. As I ask her for a quote somehow she reaches in and starts grabbing at my outfit. I am wearing a green cashmere wrap from BCBG and a string of fractured gold colored beads I bought at Marshall Fields for maybe five dollars and somehow this passes muster! Which is pretty odd because this is exactly the name outfit I wore to my failed interviews at Conde Nast
Now when she says “very nice” and I say “thank you” well let’s just say that I was being manhandled by Diane Von Furstenberg. That is right, the queen of the wrap dress is rewrapping my BCBG wrap and ends up feeling me up instead. That is right, she grabbed my boobs! WOAH! I am pretty sure I am flattered, well, maybe.
The rest of the video is DVF and Nicole Miller being confused about how to judge the contestants. Who knew judges were allowed to be so confused when giving away 10 grand?
Your very own Scarlet Johanson-Issac Mizrahi moment. LOL
Am I the only one that would have pooled at my own shoes had THE DVF fondled me? Oh joy!
I admit I was pretty shocked/elated by the whole thing. On the one hand it is DVF! and then on the other it is like why are you touching me?
This is a very interesting blog and I thank you for posting your comments. I am the writer of a beauty blog at beautysecrets101.com. My favorite thing to write about is makeup! Check it out and tell me what you think!
That’s really weird. What can I say that you haven’t said already? Shocked, elated … perhaps in retrospect somewhat disgusted?
I’m sure you handled yourself more than gracefully. I don’t care who you are, that cannot be considered appropriate.
Way to keep us all entertained!
How hilarious DVF has fashionably vague down to a fine art, oh and the other judge in your video footage is Rebecca Taylor not Nicole Miller.
How fun!
Wow..that’s pretty crazy. It’s really interesting to see DVF up all close and personal-like bumbling about dresses and scoring. To me- fashion is always like a whole other world- so that video was quite the treat. : )
Yeah, fashion has always been other wordly to me too until I became an insider! Yikes!
Can I come back outside again?
