During Fashion Week

FEBRUARY 13, 2007 --

IThis was to be the last time that Bryant Park, in midtown Manhattan was to become a tent city for Fashion Week.

For LPR, it was of little consequence; LPR did not attend the shows at this Fashion Week venue. LPR did, however, enjoy the Gianni Lauren show at Frederick's and the Gina Velasco show at Duvet.

LPR also attended Fashion Week after-parties at several Manhattan clubs. What follows is a pictorial report.

The first photo, however, indicates that, Fashion Week notwithstanding, the city's ruthless towing policy continues. The car shown being taken away, February 9, had California plates.


The towing continues …

How quickly does City Hall forget the statements of post-9/11 solidarity that appeared locally, from overseas and from the states of our republic -- including California.

Once again, I recall for LPR clicksters the time, many years ago, in Hamilton, Ontario that a policeman walked over to my parent's car and Mom thought Dad was getting a ticket for not putting
money in the meter -- and what the policeman placed on the car windshield was a paper key welcoming us to
Hamilton. The driver of the California car
will, LPR has a hunch, retain for an equally long time, a rather less pleasant memory.

LPR was back at Frederick's, February 8, informed by Renata Lorenc about a Fashion Week after-party.



Also on February 8 …

FEBRUARY 13, 2007 --

LPR stopped briefly at Retox, where the Thompson Modeling Agency hosted a Fashion Week after-party, and at Home, where Poull, center in photo, hosted an
after-party for designer Jane McMillan.


Two-thumbs-up for the after-party at Home.

Having fun at Retox

Gina Velasco

FEBRUARY 13, 2007 --

The fashion designs of Gina Velasco were shown at Duvet, February 9.

LPR will write no more, estimating that these photos, the five Gianni Lauren photos, the four Frederick's photos and the Retox and Home photos are worth some 18 thousand words …
