LuAnnie was havin’ a case of the vapors when she saw she was included in this WSL article…
Thursday was a huge night for “fashion”… anyone who loves “fashion” showed how much they loved “fashion” by showing up somewhere to show their fashionable face!
FNO started four years ago by Vogue’s Anna Wintour to boost awareness of the “fashion” industry; as a warm up to fashion week; but, really, FNO’s “celebration” of “fashion” is simply a way to get consumers to part with their money by thinking that they’re part of the “fashion-istas” crowd.
All the Housewives were out… the RHONY were meted out to various Macy’s stores! PT Housewife was sent to the Chicago Macy’s.
Very surprisingly, for someone so “highly educated” and “sophisticated” and “worldly”… this was PT Housewife’s very first visit to Chicago! For one hour at Macy’s… how did she ever make it out of NYC?? Perhaps she took Ramaoner’s advice!
>> Macy’s on State Street, 111 N. State St., Chicago
“Real Housewives” fans can spot New York’s Aviva Drescher from 7 to 8 p.m. Nzimiro Optua of NBC’s “Fashion Star” will give the scoop at 6 p.m. on fall fashion trends. Six designers of the Chicago Fashion Incubator will be there as well for a trunk show.
The REAL eye-catcher in the Housewives participation in FNO was Melissa Gorga! MeGo was at the Christiana Mall in Delaware… guess the larger, better known retailers weren’t goin’ for the New Jersey crew! Poor MeGo!! From DelawareOnline:
“Christiana landed its own celeb this year with “Real Housewife of New Jersey” Melissa Gorga posing for snapshots and signing copies of her $10 CD.
Accompanied by her squat, beefcake husband Joe, Gorga chatted with a steady stream of mostly twentysomethings – some with children in tow – who waited for two hours in a line that backed up to California Pizza Kitchen.
Gorga wore a one-strap black minidress with sheer overlay and booties.
Through her publicist, she declined to be interviewed before the event but carved out five minutes for questions on her walk to the car after the event. NOTE: MeGo was probably getting more CD’s outta the trunk of her car!
Though she lives in northern New Jersey, this was Gorga’s first time in Delaware. She signed on to Fashion’s Night Out because “I love the fans and I love the mall.” She added that her new single, “I Just Wanna,” will be officially released Sunday.
Asked if her fans think she represents an actual housewife, she replied: “I do think people look up to me as a housewife.”
She is a joke
This is too funny, I read about the Deleware gig I wouldn’t spend a buck for one of her CD’s…I hope she soon realizes she can sing, not even to the choir…..:-)
I wonder if she still feels like she’s on display?
I personally would never buy any of her music, but good for her. It sounds like she had a good turnout. It also sounds like the boys are getting fairly large turn-outs for BLK (ewww couldn’t imagine drinking it especially at the price point) . Hopefully (yes I know in my dream world), this would be enough to rip the green eyed monster off their bodies and stop attacking Teresa. Alas we know that is not going to happen.
Where did you get that BLK is doing so well, they are a scam and are trying to hide the scam. They won’t show or reveal who bottles their BLK, even the canadian one that they had to settle out of court if you go to their website will link to the nutrition place that makes their black water. It would be great if they would have a youtube video (like the canadian one) that is on their site which shows who is bottling and the process. It almost sounds like they are buying this stuff by the case via one of the established bottlers of the stuff and then smacking there labels on the bottles and then putting them in their boxes.
Also Melissa may MAY have made a thousand dollars on the CD’s and some money on being at the mall but nothing more. She’s not a hit and her limelight is fading fast, oh yea stumpy the husband should be working to make money but he is spending most of his time running around with his wife making sure she doesn’t bigger and better deal him out of the picture.
$10 for a a CD with, what? 4 songs on it? Is she kidding?
I know! I don’t even think I have anything to play a cd on
You are right. I have three teenage girls and its been a few Christmases since Santa has put any Cds under our tree.
BaHaHa..”squat beefcake husband”..I think I love Delaware
So Melissa repped FNO In Delaware? That’s just pathetic. Wouldn’t that be the equivalent of being sent to Siberia? Not dissing Delaware just MeHo.
You go MeGo! You’ve so made it!
OMG! Melissa is just like JLo! Peope waiting in long lines, declining interviews, signing cds!………at the mall. And thank The Good Lord for people like Anna Wintour! Without her in fashion, we would all be so much less…..aware.
Park: Yes, where would we all be without Anna’s input? “Thank you, Jesus; sign of the cross; kisses to the sky” for Anna’s “get people to buy stuff they don’t need” creation, Fashion’s Night Out! Let’s all go shopping!! NOT! LOL!! TFC!! SH
Thank you for such an insightful post. The WSJ article is brilliant. Never knew wishful attendees sent “invitation requests” to fashion houses, how humbling that must be to be declined. Such a shark tank environment for literally 15 minutes of social glory. *thanks for photo of Kyle’s tribute to Late Michael Jackson. I believe she’s having a mid life crisis, raiding her teenagers’ closets. Dear Kyle, a pencil skirt with a blouse wouldn’t make you a geriatric.
BUT she wants to show off her fancy lipo! Last year it was splits, this year it is outfits meticulously planned to work her new trim lipo physique!
Doing splits must be a rich people’s party thing. Have never seen it done. Lipo or no lipo; girl needs a longer, leaner thigh for those.
I have also never seen people do splits, outside of dance class that is. Kyle cannot do her signature split in a pencil skirt, it would tear. She must be split-ready at all times.
Split ready! That’s golden
Ah yes, a rich people party thang and a Juicy Joe thing too! We need Juicy to party crash at Kyleeee’s white party and challenge her to a split duel. Then maybe he could tell her to shud up!
Invite this lady, too:
If we are going that way let’s invite this one too!
I went to a party with this character as the theme. Go Romo!
I gotta hear more about that shindig.
I’ll give you some true details and some made up stuff. Limoncello, my 50 y/o triplet grandchildren, lots of chocolate, farm animals, charter boat, pinata.
Well that sounds like a humdinger! I’m going to pretend it was all real. Besides, no one lies about farming. Lol
Kyle’s outfit made me laugh, thought it was an early Halloween event she was attending. Kyle stop dressing like Britney, circa 2001, and start dressing your age. You are a joke.
Kim should arrange a style intervention.
Kyle’s outfit is all wrong in so many ways. First of all, if you are going to wear leggings, make sure your top is long enough to cover your chucky. That jacket is too bulky and shapeless. The top should be form fitting. The shoes, boring. For an example of what to do, see: lady to your right.
Too right fabeloonie. The Hat and the dangly earrings are to busy. Pick one or the other ,not both.
So it’s fashionable to be fashionable in a fashion forward fashionable place, where being fashionably attired in fashionable knock off is considered fashion forward?
Whilst selling CD’s that are fashionably awful, with my fashionably fame whore hubby who is also dressed in a fashionably awful outfit, looking he can spread his fashionable poison too?
I would of been standing in line for California Pizza Kitchen, YUMMY
“I do think people look up to me as a housewife.” Really? Really? I certainly hope not, thank you, Jesus.
She lives the life only some girls dream of…. yeah, that’s it. We all want to sell CDs out of the trunk of our cars. She’s so lucky.
I think the only person looking up to Mego is 5’4″ Joe Gorga…
I want whatever MeHo is high on cuz only a ton of drugs and booze could precipitate that much delusion. Or a latent personality disorder.
Our national channel here in Norway had a short cut on the news about a norwegian designer who managed to show her clothes at FNO. I almost spit my coffe out when I saw who they interviewed as a “celebrity expert” The texting said Aviva Drescher- reality star of Real Houswifes. The one who was actually talking, was Alex McCord. Funny
That’s hilarious. They both annoy me.
And really when you think about it, they are playing the same character. Social climbing wannabes who refuse to leave their “husbands” at home.
