Lions and Tigers and Fashion Week Oh My

So Fashion Week has not yet officially started but we all are working behind the scenes furiously trying to get ready for the descending on New York of everything and all things fashion. On our side, we are dealing with getting clients, into shows, where they are going to sit, if they can wear the clothes (and keep them) and /or get transportation to and from. Depending on where you are on the fashion ladder you may get all or none of the above and certain shows truly require a major VIP card to gain entry no matter who you are or how much you like and/or wear the respective designers clothing. One wonders if these designers even know who is being turned down or accepted? Do we know the right people, don't we? Who is getting a favor and who isn't'? On our side, we're pretty lucky. But I wonder how other people are faring this week? I guess time will only tell and we still have a week to figure things out...lets hope it all goes smoothly - more on that later as Fashion Week unfolds and either goes off without a hitch or holes abound...lets hope for the former....

Next Saturday, September 12th Ana Ortiz is hosting the Fitness magazine Mind Body and Spirit Games, in Central Park. We are really excited about it. She is bringing her new baby Paloma and that is even more exciting. Have you seen that adorable baby? For more information about these amazing games visit http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/ and to register for the games you you need to visit http://www.nyrr.org/ (New York Road Runners) and Registration includes a complimentary FITNESS T-shirt and entitles participation in one of the 4 mile races or kid's races. Its really a wonderful event and I urge you all to check it out.

Further, Reshma Shetty is hosting an event for City Harvest to kick off the Grand opening of La Pomme on September 17th. More details on that later.....She had a super sexy fashion shoot shot by the amazing photographer David Needleman with hair by Anna Bernabe and make up by Suzy Gerstein. What an amazing day it was! Will send photos as soon as we get them......


More info on clients! Demian Bichir, Ana Ortiz and Mark Indelicato are all 2009 Alma Award nominees. The ceremony is in Los Angeles and taped on September 17th. One winner will be selected from each category. Wish them luck! Demian is currently shooting a film called "The Runway" and just finished an amazing season on WEEDS. That season really ended with a bang right? Who expected that! I know when I saw it I was completely floored and talking about it non-stop. Can't wait to see what Jenji comes up with next season!

Oh and in New Client News we just signed George Wendt and will be promoting his amazing book coming out in October called DRINKING WITH GEORGE. Follow him at @georgewendt or visit him on his facebook page! We also signed one of the new stars of FELA Sacyon Sengbloh who was formerly in HAIR among other amazing projects. More on her later...as the show gets up and running!

Trying to get everything done because I am giving everyone off on Friday AND Monday for an extra vacation. They definitely appreciate it.

oh and did I tell you that the wonderful people at Tiffany sent me a gift as a token of my appreciation for bringing the lovely Ana Ortiz to Maria Sharipova's event last week? I'm telling you that those people have class! Not to mention it was a lovely, lovely event.

I'm a little tired because its 10:31 p.m. and still in the office. Time to go home. Promise to be funny tomorrow!

Everyone give a shout out to my amazing Senior Publicist, Timothy Yates for being amazing at what he does! He got our lovely client Tamara Tunie a hit in New York Times, and just secured that Stagedoor is going to be in a big national parade...more details to come....

ooh...and the press has just started to hit on our client Preston Bailey's book Celebrations. Check him out at http://www.prestonbailey.com/. What a great Twitter story I have. One of his friends was visiting from Chicago and I happened to be following her on twitter. I used twitter to hook them up and set up a meeting. Only time will tell what will come of it, but I truly believe in the power o of that thing!....

Okay so boring right? Dish will come soon. I promise. But for now, check out @ginarobertsgrey. She writes some really interesting things about pitching reporters and writing successful letters to get your clients in publications. I was pretty impressed by her twitter conference last night. #smbiz. Also @badpitch is really funny too....People never cease to amaze....

PS. Did anyone see Devin Ratray on Entertainment Tonight? Good Luck at the Montreal Film Festival this weekend man! Hope your movie Courting Condi does well. check out http://www.courtingcondi.com/ its pretty damn funny! He is also in the Surrogates but more on that later....
Have a good night!
