high society...

Gossip Girl here… A, F and E spotted at Houston’ Simon Mall Fashion show.  The only question is: who had the bigger fall from glory, Faye or the runway model?

A while back, my friend Ellen got me hooked on Gossip Girl.  Essentially, I fell in love with it.  Then, Ellen invited Amir & I to a Houston Magazine event at the Galleria.  I just couldn't wait to wear my new dress from Bevello, get all dressed up and have a week-night out on the town!  We started off the night at the VIP pre-party at Armani.

Then we moved downstairs to the Simon Mall Fashion Show.  Amir and I stood for our first ever step and repeat.  We seriously felt so fancy!

They served free food and beverages all night long.  We even got a gift bag full of goodies like a candle, Grey Goose vodka (airplane size, sadly), OPI nail polish, a conception calendar (for future reference I suppose?), and a purse size mirror.  I think it was mostly cool just to get a gift bag on our seat! 

We watched the fashion show which was pretty cool!  One model stumbled, one model fell (see PS. story below), and it made me want to model in a mall fashion show just once in my life!

Then we went to an after-party at GiGis where they served martinis and there were naked women painted like bottles of Stoli Vodka!
All in all, it was a pretty awesome night!  I learned that being part of society is SO MUCH FUN! :)  That's our latest Houston update, xoxo Faye


PS. I must admit, I took a pretty awesome tumble at the beginning of the night.  My 6-inch platform shoes are a disaster I've learned to master but they are still no match for a Houston sidewalk.  Before we even walked into this swanky event, I fell on the concrete sidewalk outside of the Galleria.  I found the nearest Neiman Marcus restroom to clean up my knee.  I was hoping that it wouldn't be too bad in my less than knee length dress.  However, it was pretty gross.  Just then, the fashion gods sent a wonderful lady who magically found a giant knee-sized band aid from who knows where that just so happened to be my shade of white person!  Luckily, that was way less obvious than my totally cut-up bloody knee!   Maybe I'm not quite graceful enough for high society, but it sure does add to my story!
