Under the Line Design: Miami Swim 2008
I want to begin this article with an apology to Angela Martin at Cece Feinberg PR who so graciously invited me to the Red Carter event on Thursday, July 12. I slept through it. I came home that day, parked my walker by the door and passed out.
With that being said, I didn’t have to go to fashion week to feel like I was at fashion week. I work at a modeling agency. Fashion week means hectic: like 99 dramas and a bitch ain’t one – unfortunately, I could have used a bitch on Friday. I needed to get laid to relieve my tension. I can tell you from a behind-the-booking-chair perspective that Miami’s fashion week is great if you dig the following things:
- Coke heads
- Slime ball promoters
- Models
- Rich men hitting on models
- Model agents attacking other model agents.
- Model agents arguing over seating arrangements in fashion shows because seating in the front row of Red Carter is more important than the 400,000 people getting slaughtered in Darfur right now.
- Fake things: i.e. tans, attitudes and Heidi Montag’s breasts.
- Miami’s gloating over its best imitation of LA culture.
- A-Z grade Celebrities: my favorite celebrity was the supermodel Omarya. She is a bright light of fierceness – every man and woman (including the Lady) would love to get to know her in the biblical sense. We represent her at the agency I work for – so this might seems biased – but take my word for it: I’ve met many people in my life and there’s a small few that send chills down my spine when I shake their hands. Celebrities are usually dull and don’t have it. Miz Omarya certainly has it and if I could hit it, I would.
- Male models wearing tiny bathing suits – I’d hit that too.
