Fashion Week in New York, and a Surprise Interview!

This week, I covered Fashion Week in New York, and had the pleasure of interviewing Custo Barcelona at his runway show. It was great seeing models behind the scenes (and without makeup -even more fun!) Custo is an eccentric Spanish designer who is getting lots of attention lately. Fashion week in New York is crazy, lots of people running around, people with headsets acting very important, but you have no idea who they are talking to. There are are so many people back stage that it took me 10 takes to do my intro because people were bumping me or walking into the shot. But we got a great interview (see below) and had a surprise guest.. Current Playboy cover girl Aubrey O'Day. Enjoy!
