During Fashion Week many wonderful things occur, mainly having to with stuff and other stuff. Some stuff is stuff you wear. We guess that's the main thing, overall. You know, things like nice watches, handbags, pants, shoes, jackets, um bow ties (right?), lounge stuff, fancy designer dresses, pantsuits, boots, we guess, and expensive jewelry. There will probably be designer labels and brands like calvin klein, prada, gucci, louis vuitton, armani, tom ford, marc jacobs, batman licensed merchandise and a lot of other design labels we've never even heard of probably, like Paul and Joe Sister.There are a lot of independent designs out there, too, but you'll have better luck seeing those at places like LA Fashion Week, because a lot of people working at vintage shops on Melrose decided to become designers, and really, good for them. Keeps them off the streets. But seriously, huzzah. Huzzah's a thing, right?

Let's see, what else is going on in this text. Oh right, we were discussing the incredibly important topic of stuff. There will probably also be a whole bunch o' fancy cars, some due to limo rentals, but a lot having to with people having purchased and now owning cars such as BMWs, Lexi (plural, yep), ok Lexus -es, Porche -s, Ferrari -s (Magum PI impersonators), and a Mercedes Benz or two. But whither the Bentley and Rolls Royce cars of yesteryear? Who cares, really. My, how they did shine, though! Right?Whilst at Fashion Week -- using your handy schedule as found at those magnificent links above -- you'll probably be drinking like fancy coffee from places like Starbucks or much cooler places with worse tasting coffee, dining at fine dining restaurants (for which you're going to need restaurant reservations and some site where you can read restaurant reviews, like Yelp), and will find yourself going to see musicals and the opera, theatre, plays, movies, and other things you can look at, like the sky or yogurt. (Yep, you can even look at yogurt now -- technology!)

Mm. Also, make sure to pack your camera for fashion week, so you can photograph all your meals (your iPhone will also be good for that, between tweeting and posting pictures of fuzzy distant objects on facebook), an umbrella, your iPhone and iPad charger (easy one to forget, and then what? then what?), hair curling iron or something better and more advances from the Home Shopping Network, anything from Brookstone with massaging beads, magazines and books for the plane trip, sleep mask, your best three pairs of shoes, spa coupon, beauty products (tea tree foot moisturizing mask) and accessories, and a ski cap if you either want to seem very rich or very authentic.
