I just don’t understand why there has to be so much T’n’A. It’s everywhere. Just take a look at our new entertainment district.
Most of my life, I have looked at purses and thought, “What’s the big deal? It’s just a bag.” That’s what you are supposed to say, I mean, otherwise you’d sound a little shallow.
Year after year I’ve sat in the audience loving the stylish brilliance of the West 18th Street Fashion Show. Last weekend I walked the runway. It was exciting, frustrating and one serious rush.
