Super Bowl SIXTY

With the New York Giants playing in the Super Bowl, and the best designers in the world showing in Bryant Park, the excitement in the city reached all-time highs on Sunday! My plan to watch Super Bowl 42 was interrupted when I got the call from Cameron to head over to the tents for the Miss Sixty show at 8 PM. Say no more! I grabbed Walton, and we were over there in two shakes of a model's tail! After a brief scare at the tent entrance - "No, Mr. Security Man, we don't have invitiations, buy my roommate is working the show!!" - we fanagled our way inside and joined the legions of fans waiting for the big game, er show.


Around the fountain in the tents...see the beehive blonde? She and two other girls (they didn't plan it) had on the same hard-to-miss strapless white with black, hot pink and green "Miss Sixty" written all over it dress. This has got to be a fashion show faux pas.

Since the Super Bowl means to the sporting world what Fashion Week means to the fashion world; and since The Tent in Bryant Park is the biggest venue in NYC fashion (think Michigan Stadium for football fans)...then what we witnessed Sunday night in midtown Manhattan truly was Super Bowl Sixty!


A capacity crowd of 107,501 at Michigan Stadium...


Aerial veiw of the Tents at Bryant Park, and inside "The Tent" Sunday night. The Bryant Park tents house three venues - The Salon, The Promenade, The Tent - The Tent is by far the biggest.

The preshow celebrity photographing, "reveal" of the runway and dimming of the lights could rival the pregame festivities of any football game...so we claimed our spots on the middle of the runway (the 50 yard line, if you will), and put on our game faces for show time!


The theme for the show was 60's inspired - from the invitations (I peeked over some shoulders to see what they looked like!) that said "In Love" written in funky 60's bubble letters to the 'magical mystery tour' vans...the entire collection had a funky 60's vibe.


These were THE girls to see at fashion week! Photos of them at this show circulated in publications for the rest of the week. From left: Anne Hathaway (her legs are visible), Chloe Sivegny, Ashley Olsen (!), Milla Jovovich, and Paula Patton.


Model Irina Lazareanu - she's really popular, and I've seen her in other shows, but I think she's really ugg!!


I wish the picture wasn't dark so you could see the audience better...tons o' people. I am obsessed with the pause at the end of the runway and all the photographers! Maybe because I used to secretly practice the runway walk, pause, hair flip and turn... :)


Designer Wichy Hassan...such a wittle wittle man.

Moi at the fountain inside the Tents!

The show was super fab and lots of fun, but I had to experience watching New Yorkers cheer for the New York Giants in a New York bar! We went to Sutton Place on 53rd and 2nd Ave near the apartment to watch the 4th quarter. There was a festive group in there wearing Giants jerseys and waving shakers. I watched their show of anticipation and exuberation as much as I did the plays on the TV! We celebrated the victory in the bar and then enjoyed watching happy fans spill out of restaurants and bars to continue their victory parade onto the streets as we walked home.

The Empire State Building was lit blue, blue, blue all weekend in honor of the New York Giants playing in Super Bowl 42.

The game had been over for at least an hour, but we could hear a roar coming from the streets of people shouting and celebrating and horns honking. So much of a continuous roar, I just HAD to go back down to 2nd Ave and see the action! Lots of cars out, but the "roar" from upstairs wasn't audible on the street. Just random shouts of "Go Giants!" and "woo-hoo"-ing from people on the streets.

No night for the classic stone-faced New Yorker on the streets...everyone was in prime mood for high-fives, so I handed a few out on my way home.
