NYFug.com: If We Were Handing Out Awards

In addition to Continuing Emmy Coverage here on GFY, we also contributed a piece for NY Mag.com today, all about -- what else? -- the red carpet:

"Fanciest Toga: House's Jennifer Morrison must have thought being gorgeous would allow her to get away with wearing a tremendously shiny sheet. News flash: No one can get away with wearing a sheet, especially not one that needs its own blotting papers."

Read the rest, if you're so inclined, on The Cut.

New York Fugshion Week: The Final Showdown

Fug file:

Project Runway

"I know, Heidi! I'm happy about Fashion Week being over too! You should see my blisters! They concern me."

So Heather and I are back in the bosom embrace of GFY HQ here on the West Coast, but we'd be remiss if we didn't share with you, dear reader, all the shenanigans of our last day at Fashion Week (which was Friday. We....running a bit behind right this exact minute.):

A) We got to go to the Project Runway finale! (No spoilers in the piece, but the site's overall discussion of the finale does spoil who showed. That being said, if you're caught up on PR, you won't be spoiled, since they used several decoys, we think). Can we just reiterate that we're pretty sure H. Klu is going to smack J. Lo next time they run into each other at the Beatrice? She couldn't even come up with a better excuse for dropping out of judging than a "foot injury"? Try "food poisoning." Man, I hate it when people don't even think their lies through fully.

B) We spotted Real Housewife of New York Ramona Singer at Badgley Mischa. Oh my god, dudes, if I were on that show, they would already have a reel of me telling her to shut up. She talked so loudly throughout the show, we could hear her from several rows away.

C) And finally, we wrap up the week. Includes shots of dudes dressed like Janice Dickinson and...well, really pulling it off.

Thanks for taking the Fashion Week journey with us, everyone! We're now finally officially back to your regularly scheduled fuggings.

New York Fugshion Week: The Penultimate Day

Fug file:

delicious photo

How sad am I that security wouldn't let us get anywhere near the front rows at Calvin Klein? For that reason I missed the sassy anecdote that I'm SURE should accompany this photo of Lauren Hutton:

I hope she's saying, "What the hell is with these jumpsuit cuffs? Am I on death row? I DON'T THINK SO."

-- Also at Thursday's Calvin Klein show: Miss Tyra totally stole all the thunder and a paparazzo yelled at Rachel Zoe. I never thought I'd feel bad for her, but lo and behold, my heart grew three sizes that day.

-- We were very concerned that Anna Wintour's longtime boyfriend's daughter might go into labor in the middle of the Vera Wang show. That would make one hell of a review: "So good, my water broke!" Also, does that make Anna a step-grandmother of sorts? I'm sure the very thought gives her the vapors.

-- At Phi, Emmy Rossum wore dominatrix shoes. Also, in typing up that story, I kept mistyping the word "public" as "pubic," and then I would notice the typo and go in to fix it and type "pubic" AGAIN. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

-- Cynthia Rowley tried to kill everyone at her show. She may not have REALIZED that's what was going on, but seriously, anyone who wasn't Julia Stiles or Tatum O'Neal put his or her life on the line just trying to get into a seat.

-- Diane Kruger didn't bring Pacey to Tommy Hilfiger. HOW DARE SHE DO THAT TO US?

New York Fugshion Week: Day Oh My God, We're So Close To Being Able To Put Up Our Feet (So, Six)

Let's see....what happened yesterday? We did not end up stuck in an elevator with Anna Wintour. (If this happens, I plan to talk to her about tennis.) We did not talk our ways into a cameo on Gossip Girl (I want to play the crafty blogger who makes out with Chuck as a way to help him make Blair jealous). We did not trip out of our high heels and land in the laps of any luminaries. However, we did see this:

"Hee hee! Tell me again how pretty I am, Mr. de la Renta. TELL ME!" If you can only have one celeb at a show, it might as well be Ms Lo.

Also included with purchase:

Emmy Rossum + Leighton Meester = I don't know how to feel.

It turns out that Lauren Conrad is lovely in person and Lo looks like she's about to tell you to f' off. And, in fact, probably wants to, at least in my case.

Blake Lively was very pretty at Michael Kors, but could she outshine BETTE FREAKING MIDLER? What do you think?

Oh, Amy Lee. Your name rhymes with Anna Sui. And how crazy you be.

New York Fugshion Week: Day Five

Fug file:

just...wow

AHOY MATEYS!

Get ready, ladies! The men of Spring 09 are going all pirate on your ass! Well, at least they will for Betsey Johnson, whose show was the most CRACKED OUT yet, which is saying a lot. Did we mention she had a pirate walk the runway? Tossing out doubloons? Because she DID.

Nothing, really, can top that. But we did go to some other shows:

-- So, NASTIA LIUKIN AND RYAN LOCHTE ARE TOTALLY DATING! We saw them together, it must be true. Also, other people came to Max Azria. Who? We don't know. We're busy picking out what to wear to the wedding.

-- Julianna Marguiles is incredibly gorgeous in person and her husband is wickedly hot. We'd hate her, but she seems so nice. Also at Narciso Rodriguez: Claire Danes (with bitchface) and Jessica Alba, who we suspect is trying to get herself a Vogue cover.

-- What else happened today? Dear reader, we are kind of sleepy right now. Forgive us if this thing is riddled with typos. I only had one Diet Coke today. ONE. I should be on a caffeine drip this week! Oh, right: we saw a very cute Kelly Osbourne at Matthew Williamson, which was also full of really cute dresses.

-- Also full of pretty things? Monique Lhuiller, which also boasted Rosetta Getty (and others), who managed not to scream expletives about Sienna Miller to the thundering heavens, which is more maybe than we could have managed.

New York Fugshion Week: Day Four

Fug file:

Whoever told Little J this haircut was a good idea should be shot.

We would have said something ourselves when we saw her yesterday at Chris Benz, but we had Eva Amurri's Hammer pants to contend with.

Also in the mix: our girl A Dubs skipped Proenza to see her hot sexy tennis player friend/secret lover Roger Federer win his fifth US Open. PS: She really didn't miss much. Except Nicole Richie. And Kayne West talking about his blog. It's going to be so much fun when he starts guest-fugging for us.

We went to Diesel again this year, and witnessed much canoodling and also Juliette Lewis.

And, finally, we saw Renee Zellweger at -- where else? -- Carolina Herrera and, sadly, were not impressed. STOP THE BOTOX MADNESS, RENEE.

New York Fugshion Week: Day Three

Fug file:

When I noted that Blake Lively wore an unfortunate jumpsuit to last night's Miss Sixty show, I was NOT KIDDING:

Next stop: Chico's. But for real. If Blake Lively can't wear those, WHO CAN? Also, are they...cargo-y? Hold me. And then, while you're stoking my hair, you can read about the crazy behavior I saw that this show above and beyond ye old jumpsuit.

We kicked off our Sunday with a Mermaids reunion at DNKY, when Cher was seated next to Jake Ryan. By which we mean, "when Christina Ricci was seated next to Winona Ryder," which, honestly, is almost as good. And Nicole Richie was there! And PETA stormed the runway! It was pretty awesome, actually.

Next, we tackled the world of the bandage dress at Herve Leger, and had an unexpected brush with death. At the hands of Rosario Dawson, of all people. Well, inadvertently.

Once we recovered from almost dying, we ran downtown to hang out with Vincent Gallo. Unbeknownst to him. Also seen at Y3: calf-length, mesh man-dresses. Pick up one for your boyfriend today!

And because we, like Vanessa L Williams, like to save the best for last, we closed out our weekend with the sartorial stylings of Justin Timberlake at William Rast. Complete with bonus buckets of beer!

New York Fugshion Week: Day Two

Fug file:

AND WE HAVE LOHAN:

And Ronson, too. Photo by Heather, who managed to get much closer than I did. Lindsay was NOT wearing leggings -- or even any leggings-esque jeans -- which is probably good because who knows what we would have said to her if we could have gotten her attention. Oh, let's be honest: it probably would have been something like, "Your shoes are awesome." The crush of paparazzi around the lovebirds was a sight to behold. You can read all about it here.

What else did we do today, other than stalk Lindsay Lohan, you ask? We swam through a tropical storm, took shelter in many of Manhattan's finest bars, and:

-- Observed a way-cranky Andy Roddick, whose post-US Open loss funk could not be lifted even by Chuck Bass-esque menswear at Lacoste.

-- Decided we saw Evangeline Lilly in ugly pants at Rosa Cha. Now we're not sure it was her. But it might have been. Oh, eyesight. Why have you forshaken us? Also at the same event, we managed not to run over to Zoe Saldana and scream, "I'm the best goddamn dancer in the American Ballet Academy. Who the hell are you?"

-- Had our first glimpse of A Dubs, who was wearing a sweater and a coat in 135-degree heat and 100% humidity and yet never broke a sweat, because she has ice water in her veins.

-- Underwent tragic umbrella-stealage and less-tragic Becki Newton-stalkage at Vena Cava.

-- And finally, we ogled the boys from Gossip Girl and floated a theory as to why Mary-Kate Olsen suddenly looks....well, really cute and totally clean.

New York Fugshion Week: Day 1

It had been years since we gave Leonor Varela a second thought -- probably, in fact, almost a decade, since she was Cleopatra in that terrible TV movie starring Billy Zane (!!) as Mark Antony. And yet, in just our first hour at Fashion Week, we nearly saw too much of her:

[Photo: Splash News]

I have no idea how, but despite this dress's best efforts, nary a nip slipped. She'd get major points for this, had she not made it all the way out of her hotel and to the show without realizing her assets might be compromised. Also, she totally should have turned her head to the right, because as we realized later, gymnast Alicia Sacramone sat two seats down -- and toting her newly minted Olympic silver medal. We are kicking ourselves that we didn't find a way to fall into Alicia's lap so that we could then accidentally touch it. Sigh. Jail would've been worth it.

-- At BCBG, we also saw Vivica A. Fox, who wins the Understatement of the Week award ALREADY for her comment about Valentino being "very tan."

-- Nigel Barker ahoy! We saw the dreamy Top Model judge for the first time at Yigal Azrouel's show. He does not change. He remains at the exact exquisite level of hotness with which he first breezed into our lives. Bless you, Nigel. In these turbulent times, we need you.

-- A passel of actresses we weren't aware even KNEW each other acted very friendly at Nicole Miller.

NYFug.com: Your Questions Answered

Have we told you lately that we love you? Because we do.

Our editor at NY Mag got a whole horde of submissions from you guys asking us about everything from Fashion Week celeb-spotting to male models; from Chad Michael Murray to tips on coping with the pressure of arriving at Bryant Park and mingling with the fashion crowd:

Short of dressing up as a leprechaun or lighting yourself on fire, you'd have to work super hard to stand out as the best- OR worst-dressed person in the room. When there's a woman in a bedazzled fur turban making the rounds, your skirt is beside the point, so just relax and ogle.

We tried to pick stuff for the column that covered the entire spectrum. Drop by the whole column if you want to hear more; we hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor. And speaking of that, have an awesome Labor Day long weekend. You earned it.
