Head Gear

Before I went on my vacay I posted a blog about the article I wrote on the rising star of bloggers in which I of course mentioned Tavi and her big old bow in the front row of Christian Dior. And today on her blog she posted this amazing photo that her dad (remember she is 14) took of her talking to John Galliano after the show. Oh to be a fly on the ridiculously large loop of that bow...

It's a Blog World

Tavi at Christian Dior January, 2010

I love being a blogger. It is a consistent hobby — albeit a bit of a narcisstic one — when so many of my others I only dabble in sporadically (sewing, yoga, soccer, learning German eek!) or tried to get into and just failed miserably (lomo photography, baking, hopefully not learning German and most likely my recent fantasy of learning how to play the accordion, don't even ask).

Being an avid personal blogger as well as one professionally has got me pretty good at navigating the Internet and the blogospere and finding things and people that entertain and interest me and hopefully my few readers. Anway, there are actually two things I am trying to say. 

1) Despite this love and maybe addiction to the blogoshpere, it's always nice to make such connections in the real world. Yes, the real world. While I was in Copenhagen I got to meet the lovely Sarah Leigh, who is an avid blogger and fashion hound herself and who has a much more comprehensive tale of Copenhagen Fashion Week over on her blog. You should definitely check it out and get lost in all her style musings.

2) Also, I wrote a story about bloggers — the ones with actual followers, personal invites to fashion shows, design collaborations, marketing campaigns and well their own celebrity status. Check it out here.

Blogger Camp

I used to go to camp every summer for a week as a kid — now the end of the summer means fashion week. I guess they are sort of similar with all the tents and scheduled activities, but the lemonade is replaced with free martinis, instead of a bunch of adolescents running around we have a bunch of models who look like adolescents, the insecurities are still there but every ounce of baby fat is gone. 

But anyway, the point of all this is that today I get to go to a combination of them both: Fashion Blogger Camp. I am finally getting out of this gallery trade show thing I have been at thus far and am heading over to Terminal 2 to hear Facehunter (who shot the pics above over the last few days) and a few other fashion bloggers talk about my home away from home: the blogospere, then off to some shows. 

If you are in Copenhagen you should come on down and say hi: I will be the one looking really serious and stylish. Check it out.
