Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week- Meeting an Idol
Posted Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at 07:49AM
Fashion Kitty here, reporting back from New York City!! Fashion Week starts in just a few days but the excitement has already begun for me because the other night I met my idol. For any of you who follow my product recommendations on ThisNext or read my blog, you will know who that idol is.
It’s BETSEY JOHNSON!
I have been a “Betsey Girl” for years and years. I love her work, I love her drive, I wear her clothes every single day (no joke), I worship her. I spotted her in the lobby of a very posh New York hotel and basically started screaming — inside my head screams. I pulled it together, walked up and spoke…
“Hi Betsey, you are my idol! I worked at your boutique, I love your stuff … I am wearing your coat!”
Fool. So much for keeping it cool.
Betsey was amazing. We talked for about 5 minutes and then get this, she rode the elevator with me and then we talked some more. She gushed over the Betsey coat I had on and was shocked that I could pretty much rattle off the entire collection from that year. Betsey talked about her daughter, her grand daughter, her New York City apartment … it was amazing.
