Dirty Deeds
Previously, Fashionista.com published an article about "How Much Fashion Brands Pay For Celebrities to Sit in Their Front Rows." And now FashionCopious has received statements from Abe Gurko, an 'Event Producer/Public Relations/VIP Services', saying that those released figures are bollocks!
Directly from FashionCopious:
Today Abe Gurko, an 'Event Producer/Public Relations/VIP Services' and king of ABE NYC, INC, is calling those #'s utter nonsense. And in a post he headlined Fashionista.com Thinks They Know It All says "What a crock of hooey"
What I think fashionista.com did was call a slew of garden variety talent agents and received generic quotes. One thing you learn about casting a front row is…never call agents. They love throwing out ridiculous nilly-willy high prices. And that does not even get you anywhere near guaranteeing the talent.
He further explains:
There is no Celebrity Ebay. Sure, people think we have celebrities chilling on ice, that you crack them off one by one when you need to spice up an event, or dazzle the press. But it is a far more complicated process, one that takes years of cultivating relationships. There is much navigating the waters of publicists with agendas, managers with different agendas and the talent, who usually are the nicest people, but the handlers make you think otherwise.
He also touches on Madonna and Marc Jacobs:
And as for Marc Jacobs “banning” celebrities from his font row. Is Madonna no longer a celebrity? She was there, with her twinkie in tow.
And words of wisdom:
If the press would commit to attending shows without a friggen tip sheet, then maybe the crush of celebrity might not be in such high demand. If the press covered the designers for the actual collection, then we’d be in a different game.
Lastly, a duh moment:
But the economy crashed, remember? And to throw out those numbers like 100 grand for Rihanna and 80 grand for Mary Kate and Ashley Olson is silly. I mean…get a grip. Who on Earth would pay the Olson Twins anything when they have two collections showing at Fashion Week? It is utter nonsense.

Take A Breath
As stupid as it may sound, Marc Jacobs will be releasing his very own...air freshener (I know, right?!) which will be part of his Daisy by Marc Jacobs perfume.
The air freshener is capped in a limited-edition blue bottle with Daisy's distinctive strawberry, grapefruit, violet, and vanilla accents. And for all Daisy's aficionados, a long "daisy garland" full of thick synthetic flowers drenched in Marc Jacob's scent will be included as well. You can thereby hang the garland in your bedroom to enhance the scent experience.

Anna Paquin For Marie Claire UK March 2010
Not your typical suburban "Stepford wife" shopping for groceries... "True Blood" actress Anna Paquin is seen rocking various designer frocks, set in a supermarket. I love the juxtaposition between these gorgeous dresses and the supposed "mundane" supermarket theme. The actress looks impeccable in this particular photoshoot. My favourite - definitely the Alexander McQueen and not to mention Josh Goot's (from down under) design.

Favourite Looks | 2010 Grammy Awards
Miley Cyrus in Hervé Léger
Carrie Underwood in Edition by Georges Chakra
Rihanna in Elie Saab Couture
Katy Perry in Zac Posen
Lady Gaga in Armani Privé
Celine Dion (seen here with husband,René Angélil) in Balmain
Miley Cyrus blew me away once again! (the first time was during the promotion of "Hannah Montana - The Movie", in Hervé Léger as well) Her makeup (love the nude!) was flawless. Not to mention that I love her overly extended tresses and the fact that her mum looks younger than her. Carrie Underwood looked gorgeous in an asymmetrical gown. Never a fan of feathers but Rihanna looked regal in the Elie Saab gown with feather detailing on the bodice. Katy Perry looked kinda cute with that Bettie Page-inspired hairdo and that bindi on her forehead. Lady Gaga is the epitome of outlandish glamour. Only she can carry off a look like that from Armani Privé without looking silly (exclusively made for her). But that wig of hers...Scary! (will you just look at that hairline?!) Last but not least, Celine Dion is still coping with Balmania-blues (including most of her looks during her concert tours) but who is complaining?!
