Outdoor Statues In New York City

The below statue is of the man for whom Bryant park is named after, where the Seventh on Sixth fashion shows in the tents are being held for the last season before moving to Lincoln Center. This statue is located behind the main library on fifth avenue between 40th and 42nd streets. Bryant Park is on Sixth avenue between the same streets. 

William Cullen Bryant (November 3, 1794 – June 12, 1878) was an American romantic poet, journalist, and long-time editor of the New York Evening Post.

Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 – July 27, 1946) was an American writer who spent most of her life in France, and who became a catalyst in the development of modern art and literature.

This is statue is only a few feet away from the staue of William Cullen Bryant.

Fashion week day five.

It was snowing today and cold. I wasn't expecting the snow until the weekend when I could stay inside and relax, but I had two shows today; Vera Wang and Diesel. I have a better source for pictures so all the pictures I will put up on Friday. Yea!

Someone, who will remain anonymous, cussed out one of the models at Vera Wang! LMAO! It was GREAT! She said what I sometimes wish I could say to some of these models when they want to cop an attitude. She put the girl in her place and I was so happy! If the designers would do that more often and stop letting these girls get away with sh*t, they more than likely wouldn't give anyone a hard time.  Let it be known it was not a model I was working with, but she was next to me so I heard the whole exchange. The girls have been pretty good so far, all the ones I've delt with have been good. But todays incident is the reason why I prefer working with the guys. Only one male model was stank in all the time I've been doing this.

Deisel was held off site form the tents, just up the street actually and they had a wierd set up where we had to dress the models in one place then all of us go up stairs to a different room where the actual fshion show was held and help them change into their second look. Then we had to take the clothes from the first look and all the hangers from the second look back down stairs, wait for the models to come back down to change back into thier own clothes, then pack up the designer clothes. It wasn't that difficult, although the change I had was kind of rapido, but my model was sweet and we handled it fine. She went down the runway with her leggings on backwards! Good thing you couldn't tell the front from the back from the outside. We laughed about that. That's fashion!

Fashion week day four.

Today was another Donna Karan day, the higher end collection was shown. I did my intership with Donna Karan for this line 12 years ago! It was really fun and I had hoped to be able to stay, but alas it was not meant. There was a financial crunch back then and it wasn't possible for me to stay. The lady I worked with during my intership was laid off so I knew it wasn't personal.

Well, the collection was lots of black with spots of teal in the dresses. It's very Donna Karan, which I'm glad to see. some years back it wasn't looking very Donna and I wasn't liking it much but they are back on track. I think they got back on track when thier design director Peter Stenopoulous(?) came back after being loured away by Trussardi, I think it was Trussardi... whatever, he's back now and the clothes were very nice.

I don't go in depth about none of these shows because it's a totally different perspective from back stage than seeing the clothes on the models when they are walking on the runway, but mostly I think seeing a picture is easier than trying to find the right words to describe a collection. I really don't feel like doing a lot of decriptive writting. I'd rather show a picture and call it a day. You can make up your own mind about whether or not you like the clothes. I found pictures!WooHoo!

This was the model I worked with today, Jacklyn.
