Last Friday my husband and I, as well as Kim and Keith (CD cameraman), flew to Las Vegas for the clothing shows. There were three shows: ENK at The Wynn, Project at the Sands and Magic in the Convention Center. Unfortunately our designers were scattered among the three so we had to hop between the shows. The day before they started my husband and I were laying by the pool and we saw Seth the owner of What Comes Around Goes Around. We chatted with him for awhile (he told me that another contemporary site is going to be launching Vintage soon, I did it first!!) before briefly meeting Tara from J Brand. I then had lunch with my old friend and roommate from NY who I hadn’t seen for years. On our first day of the shows, Kim ran around to each one early and got our badges and Keith’s press pass so we wouldn’t have any problems getting our cameraman into the shows. The first day went smoothly, but when we showed up for a much anticipated celebrity interview we learned the interview was actually for the next day. We picked up a few great new lines and called it a day.
That night my husband and I ordered room service and fell asleep at 8pm for a little nap and didn’t wake up until around 9am the next morning, with several missed calls and texts from Keith and Kim to meet them out. So as we were getting ready to leave the show neither Kim or Keith were answering their phones. Strange! We called both of their rooms and Keith answered. We told him to get up and meet us downstairs for the show and asked him if he’d heard from Kim. He told us the night before they were at the VooDoo lounge and they both met people and left separately with the intention of meeting back together around 2am at XS back at the Wynn. However, he said they never ended up reconnecting. We met Keith at the show with still no word from Kim. We called and called and after 11am we really started to get worried. Kim is VERY responsible and no amount of partying has ever kept her from work in the morning. Keith wasn’t much help because he had to look at pics in his phone to even remember what happened the night before. As noon rolled around and many tweets about Kim gone missing, my husband called Wynn security to go to her room and check on her. He explained how reliable Kim is and security politely said, “Vegas does strange things to people, we hear this a lot.” So thank God security found and woke up Kim. She was shocked to realize that she had no recollection of the night before. Kim was mortified and said how thankful she is her parents don’t follow me on twitter (and hope they don’t read my blog now too). Later that day, I interviewed Audrina Patridge from The Hills!! She is the face of Divine Rights of Denim, which I got to talk to her about. I must add she is probably the nicest celeb I have ever met!!! Check out the video on chickdowntownTV.com.
Later that night I put on my ultra puffy party dress and sequin bolero and went for dinner at Sinatra at Encore. Keith met me at the restraunt bar so we could get the Audrina video up that night. I was twittering all the days events and the Wynn twittered me saying how much they love my tweets!! How cool?! Next on the agenda was the Hudson Jeans Party, which although I planned to attend and heard was fabulous, after a few drinks and blackjack (we played next to one of founders of J BRAND who was the life of the table, totally hilarious) my husband and I got a decaf latte and a big pink rasberry macaroon and called it a night.
