" The Battle of the Shows Have you ever gotten all dressed-up for a date and been totally stood up; sitting there with all of your friends who are completely excited for you? They helped you get all dressed-up; did your hair and make-up, only to sit with you and eat pizza on your living room floor, just you and your girls. I actually don&amp;#039;t think this has happened to me, but I certainly felt like it did today. As I told you earlier, I&amp;#039;d been trying to figure out what to wear to the Diane von Furstenberg show all day. I tried on about seven outfits, with about four different pair of shoes. Anyway, I ended up getting all dressed-up: went from the village to 40th and 6th (the 7th on 6th tents) and did the whole deal\u2013pictures, saying hello to the people I knew. I got in line and waited about 10 minutes only to be told by a very nice photographer that I was in the wrong line. GREAT! I hate lines, and I hate traffic more. So, I walk over to the actual DVF line only to be told by a VERY GROUCHY `bouncer looking&amp;#039; guy at the door that the SHOW IS CLOSED! God, you don&amp;#039;t have to be rude. So, disappointed and feeling pretty weird (being completely alone), I hung out by one of the 10 million flat screens showing the show live. Not as good, but I got to see part of my future wordrobe. The clothes are BEAUTIFUL: colors colors colors. It made me think automatically\u2013Carribean, Mexico, Belize (okay, I&amp;#039;ve never been there but I imagine it looks like that). They had all kinds of beautiful flowing colors draped over perfectly tanned bodies with an attitude of, `yes, I know I&amp;#039;m beautiful. Funny, but appropriate. A little Michael Kors actually, which is a very nice compliment, clearly. Well, in a few minutes, we&amp;#039;re going to the DVF party and then WHO KNOWS WHERE WE&amp;#039;LL END UP! Knowing me, it will be bed by 11:30. Excellent. I sure hope so. More seriously, I am looking forward to the party\u2013I can slip back into my show look which wasn&amp;#039;t properly advertised, and I&amp;#039;m packing jeans in my bag on the off chance that we end up somewhere else after. Dead serious. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
