You may have seen this photo of Shalom Harlow in vintage Bob Mackie on the Met ball news feeds this week... but did you know that underneath the coat, she is wearing a SPARKLY CATSUIT?!Despite the initial stress of sitting in the same room as six OMFG SUPERMODELS OMG OMG (and the nagging fear that I was about to have a full-on fashion fangirl seizure every time one of them spoke to me), I can honestly say that this was one of the most exciting, interesting, and informative experiences I have had as a writer. The women were articulate, thoughtful and funny in expressing the evolution of the fashion industry over the years, their giddy camaraderie was infectious, the clothes were fabulous, and not only that, Amber Valletta gave me a potato chip.
The piece is out this week, along with behind-the-scenes photos of the models, in the Aussie fashion rag GRAZIA... which means that practically none of you will be able to read it, even if you wanted to. (I'm linking to the site, but it's not available online, at least as far as I know.)
But my Australian readers -- there are 1 or 2 of you, right?-- should run to the newsstand and buy it right now.
(For everyone else, I'll post announcements if and when it gets picked up in publications stateside.)

Zzzzzz ... Huh? What?
Write about tits and ass again.
Yes! Congrats on being so freaking awesome. Maybe I should move in order to read this?
Crazy, I would have jumped to any opportunities like that for sure. Good for you!:)
Will they mail you a copy? you should scan and post.
And Anonymous? This post is about supermodels ... that's the very DEFINITION of T&A. Duh.
I live in Australia! Grazia is one of the fun ones. Actually, my friend works there so I read her free copies.
I guess that means you haven't sold a magazine... but Hoorah! for your Australian debut, nonetheless.
Gel. Us.
I've had a totally (sort of) nonsexual girl-crush on Shalom Harlow & Amber Valetta for years.
I'm totally jealous, but being in the same room as these broads and actually finding out that they are NICE would have forced me into a severe depression involving two cases of Doritos and even more cases of wine.
Then I'd never, ever eat again. Ever.

i feel like this pretty much makes me famous, right? by connection. yes, yes it does.
