Today, after a job fair I went to, I had pretty much an entire day to kill before I went to the theater to see "Aspects Of Love" with Erica, so I went to visit my friend, Eric for a while. Eric works at Macy's and had to be in work at 5:15. So, since I didn't need to be at the Walnut Street Theater until about 7, I had some more time to kill and walked him to work. Upon arriving, we saw flashing lights, and a runway set up in the main part of the store! As it turned out, Lawrence Zarian, also known as "The Fashion Guy" on "Regis & Kelly" was previewing his spring collection in a small fashion show! I managed to get a seat right in the front row so I could see every detail. I met some very nice ladies except one who tried to start a fight with me over the free shopping tote we all got (of which there were hundreds. I hate people sometimes). That aside, the show was absolutely breathtaking! He had some incredibly chic and stylish pieces and I wasn't expecting that much. The color blocking segmant was especially enjoyable. I really love the idea of color blocking and I'm glad it's so in right now. Not so matchy matchy and it's a really great way to have FUN with what you're wearing! Perhaps my favorite thing about the show (and him) was that he had a lot of fur pieces and REAL fur! None of this faux nonsense! It was beautiful! And looked so incredibly soft and comfortable! I really hope some loon didn't go after a model with a can of spray paint. It'd be a travesty to ruin those pieces... and I guess it'd be bad for the model too, but save the fur!!!
I was also pleasantly surprised to run into two of my friends from New Jersey, Gina, who's a fashion major, and Erika who's now majoring in Culinary Arts. It was great seeing them and we had a wonderful time! Lawrence was very interactive with the audience and very funny! He posed for pictures right from the stage and after the show gave fashion consultations and a little personal shopping for the attendants of the show individually. I didn't have enough time to stay for that, but I did have a little while to talk to him and I mentioned to him that I adored one of the rings he had on the model. It's a multi-cluster pearl & crystal ring and very interesting! So he asked the model to come out, she was still wearing it. He said, "Do you really like it that much?" of course I said yes! And he then said "Try it on". It was my size! And he gave it to me! I thought that was just the nicest thing ever! It's not out yet and it's going to be part of his new collection. He said as of now there are only two in existence since it hasn't been mass produced yet! It's going to retail for a pretty penny too, so I really lucked out! I have to say, I've never had a bad celebrity run-in except with Montel Williams. But that's a story for another time. This turned out to be a really fabulous day & I now have a divine new piece of jewelry to show for it!
