Due to her contacts in the fashion industry, Megan gets invited to the best fashion shows and hobnobs with the in-crowd. Today, she's filming a video for Cover Girl. I feel more stylish just hanging out with her.
You know you're approaching Fashion Week when you start seeing attractive young women wearing sky-high platform heels. One girl had on red-soled Louboutin's with three-inch platforms in front and seven-inch heels in back. I feared for her safety. The shoes were very cute, though.
To start our evening, I whisked Megan to my favorite ice bar. Going there always perks up your mood. Dipping into 23-degrees is a refreshing shock to the system. Megan enjoyed the experience.
Later, I escorted her to one of my favorite restaurants in the city, The Delta Grill, which has great character -- and alligator sausage. We ate Cajun dishes and I was reminded of my trip to New Orleans a few years ago. I went there during Mardi Gras, just after the Saints had won the Super Bowl. It was an intensely festive affair and I even saw star-quarterback Drew Brees on top of a Mardi Gras float, tossing miniature toy-footballs. I also spotted political pundit James Carville at the bar of a restaurant I was eating.
It was fun seeing Megan again. She was, of course, dressed amazingly and carrying a neon leather clutch with charming lace cut-outs. We caught up on personal stuff and discussed the future of blogging.
I also snapped some pictures to give you a flavor of New York. They're below.
Pop-quiz: Do you know what a Muffaletta is?
A: a fancy New Orleans breadloaf meat sandwich- like a sub only different.

How that sounds so fabulous, being able to attend NYFW. I have always wanted to, but it seems so daunting. It sounds like you two had a fabulous time together though!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what that is! But I read through the comments and found out!
Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteOh how much fun!! Also all the food sounds delicious in thgis post. I do enjoy a good Muffaletta! The olive spread is my favorite part. We lost our good cajun place in town.
ReplyDeleteThe olive spread is my favorite, too; it's what distinguishes the sandwich from all others.
DeleteLucky Megan to get to hang out with you.
ReplyDeleteNEVER hear of a muffaletta ... sounds interesting though.
Gorgeous pics!
Great NYC pictures..... sounds like an amazing time :)
ReplyDeletei have no idea what a muffetta is... a huge muffin?
i love megan! i used to read her blog, but then she deleted me from all of her social networks, so i haven't stopped by in a while. what a fun day!
ReplyDeleteMegan seems so cool! I am jealous of all of the New York happenings! A few of my friends from high school live in the city and were super involved in fashion week. I think I am more jealous of the ice bar and alligator sausage! Sounds like you had a blast!
ReplyDeleteYou have such awesome friends... and no surprise, because you're such an interesting and fun individual!
ReplyDeleteRed soled Louboutin's...are shoes that simply make a statement wherever they are worn. I was in court this morning in the Bronx just doing business in one of the cattle call courtrooms. There was a rather plain looking young attorney in the courtroom wearing a winter coat and red slacks. There was nothing particularly pretty about her other than being somewhat slim but she was wearing a killer pair of black patent leather high heel pumps. The shoes immediately caught my eye and when she walked by me I noted the trademark red sole.

I also can't help but observe (and frequently admire) what other women wear in public. It's interesting that the red soles were appropriated by other shoe-companies and Louboutin went to court to try to stop them, arguing IP law.
