Fashion’s Night Out. What an epic epic day. My accidental celeb-spotting began when I went on a K-Mart run and spotted Mr. Big (Chris Noth) from Sex & the City just walking down the street. Luckily, I had a slightly delayed reaction and headphones in so I managed to not look like a complete idiot. Yay!

Then, on my way back from K-Mart, I passed some famous rapper in his black suv with a police guard leading and following him. He was waving out the window like he was the queen. Pretty fun.

At 6 PM, a bunch of friends and I met up at Barney’s. While we’re congregating outside, who do we see? Simon Doonan, creative director at Barney’s. Um hello future employer. He looked dapper in a floral shirt with a skinny black tie and GUCCI sneakers. Gucci, ya’ll. But again, we managed to not make fools of ourselves and kept our composure.

We went downstairs, saw the gorgeous Daphne Guinness, and proceeded back upstairs to see Alexander Wang. When we first got up there, the floor was pretty much empty apart from the DJ so we proceeded to have an impromptu dance party. Then these two fabulous dancers came out and broke it down. They were incredible. By this time the crowd had started gathering and we, luckily, were in the very front.

Well, because it’s the fashion industry, everything happens late. Everyone has to be fashionably late and, truthfully, it pisses me off. If you know you’re going to show up a half hour late, how about COMMUNICATE this to the people waiting for you? Although A.Wang wasn’t who I was most upset with. That comes later.

Anyway, A.Wang and Abbey Lee burst through the crowd with a megaphone and everyone surged forward. I was right near the floor speaker and there were moments where I was about to go crashing down on it. I had a camera directly next to my head. Two little twelve year-old kids were biting people to get near the front. I wish I was joking. But it was all worth it because then Rye Rye came, started performing, and her two dancers (the ones from before) pulled me up to dance with them. Oh yes. I danced with Alexander Wang. My life is fabulous, not going to lie. I grabbed one of my friends and we were there, dancing with celebs and models in the middle of a giant mosh pit in Barney’s. Reality was no where close to last night. A.Wang was throwing shirts to the crowd (three of my friends caught one!) and just being amazing.

After the dance party, we went to the 5th floor, where hell began.

I grew up with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I mean legit, these kids were as real to me as my American Girl doll. I freaking love them. I have seen every single one of their movies. I watched all their tv shows. I was pretty damn psyched to see them. We managed to get relatively near the front, two hours before they were scheduled to show. Scheduled being the operative word. Because the lovely Olsen twins showed up an hour late to a room filled with people who could barely breathe. Two cat fights almost broke out near me. Again, I wish that were a joke. Two entirely different sets of girls were screaming at each other waiting for the Olsens to arrive. I felt like I was at a Justin Bieber concert.

Once they finally came, the entire crowd surged forward and nearly trampled me. There were moments where I was genuinely light-headed. Security had to come break up the people pushing on us. Then, Ashley got the microphone and very bitchily asked us to “quiet down so that [she] could hear the singing”. I’m sorry. I just stood for two hours, breathing very disgusting air, and getting people’s elbows in my back. I had people’s arms hitting me and we’re in the middle of dealing with a crowd issue. You’re telling us to please quiet down? She also did it later, going through with a nice loud “shhh” in the middle of someone’s song. Not only that but the friend who was close enough to take the pictures of the twins said that not once did they turn to face the crowd. They kept their faces away from everyone waiting. I peaced out of there after two minutes when my head got hit by the security guard on his way through. The best part of waiting for them was when we just started singing.

Chalking up to the Olsen twins to a “never meet your hero” thing, even though they never really were my heroes, we fled for the elevators. Because this had to be the most unreal night ever, our elevator got momentarily stuck between the 2nd and 3rd floors. Fun.

Once we managed to leave Barney’s, we headed for the subway where we ran into SIMON DOONAN again! I’m pretty sure we scared him a bit because we all screamed “SIMON!” when we saw him. He very graciously took a picture with us and got on the train. We followed him and proceeded to ask him loads of questions. He was super sweet and lovely and apparently someone from the Cut was there too because this tweet was posted.

Once he ran away from us (after inviting us over! Only he got off the train right before we left the station because we were talking his ear off), we went down to Soho. In Soho, we saw the beautiful Jessica Stam. We may have followed her a little bit but only because two were major fans. Besides, we ran away quickly. Then we FINALLY spotted the Volkswagen cars that were meant to drive people around. This car had the most gorgeous driver. He was beautiful. And he let eight of us squeeze into his five person car before we realized we couldn’t all fit, no matter how much we shoved. Although we could have had more people on our laps, I suppose. The boys weren’t keen on that idea.

After all that fun, we went home and got pizza. Because after a night of seeing models, you need to eat carbs.

The celeb sightings: Chris Noth, Mysterious Rapper, Simon Doonan <3, Daphne Guinness, Alexander Wang, Abbey Lee, my new favorite WWD photographer, Karlie Kloss, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the Proenza boys, Liya Kebede, Jaslene, Tavi, and Jessica Stam. I think that’s it.

Important picture note: All the nice fancy shots were taken by WWD. All the other pictures were taken by a friend. As soon as my camera cord gets here, I’ll post my pictures. Oh and you can click on the pictures to make them bigger.
