Friday Night-
Alexander McQueen VIP Shopping Event: This was essentially a pop-up store filling a large warehouse in the West Village. (**Pop-up stores are a very popular marketing strategy used during fashion week, especially.) The space displayed the new McQ F/W '09 line for viewing AND for purchase! There was a star-studded VIP shopping night on Friday before it opened up to the public on Saturday and Sunday. Luckily, we had the chance to get on that list so some co-workers and I, plus a few friends meandered through the collections enjoying free drinks (hot apple cider brandy, yum!!), hor-dourves and catching a glimpse of celebs such as Whitney (The City/The Hills), the cast from Gossip Girls and Amanda Bynes.
Saturday Night-
Monarchy Fashion Show: Your typical fashion show... short and stylish with lots of designers and celebs. But, honestly, I can't see why anyone would wear some of the things they design... way too weird!
Sunday Night-(Work) Tim Hamilton Fashion Show:
(<--- me & designer Tim Hamilton himself!)
This was a long day of set-up, lighting schedules, cue changes, moving, lifting, receiving and maneuvering around too many European male models in a not so spacious backstage, which would've been MORE than fine by me if they were say... 5-7 years older!! (darn!)
All in all, not a bad weekend! :)

You, by far, have the most interesting internship of us all! The variety of tasks and venues in which you are involved will enable you to learn so much and gain valuable experience which will, no doubt benefit you when searching for a job in the future.
I just had to mention that there is a new show called "Running In Heels" about 3 interns in NYC, and I thought of you. Looks like it's hectic but still fun.
