Fashion Week is in full swing here in New York City. That means designers are showing their Spring 2009 line at the Bryant Park tents, as well as at various venues throughout the city. I had the privilege of covering my absolute favorite designer (who happens to be a BG); Tracy Reese’s show yesterday and what a show it was! 
Stunning models gracefully strolled the catwalk while donning pretty pastels and flowy silhouettes, which complemented her signature feminine style. As expected, she showcased several breathtakingly beautiful flirty frocks and elegant blouses. Overall, her fashion forecast for spring is simple chic with a girly edge. What’s not to love?

I came across this board backstage that showed all the looks of the collection.
I also had the privilege of chatting with actress Sanaa Lathan VERY briefly before the show started. Because I’m still a novice at videotaping, the audio isn’t that good and my hand wasn’t that steady! LOL!
In case you couldn’t decipher what was said, here is the text:
BGG: What beauty products do you use to stay looking so beautiful?
Sanaa: I love Bobbi Brown! I also love MAC lipsticks, Stila lipglosses, and there are some Iman products that I use. I use a lot of different ones.
BGG: What shows have you seen so far?
Sanaa: This is my first show. When did it (Fashion Week) start?
BGG: It started on Friday.
Sanaa: Ok, well I’m going to see Diane Von Furstenberg and Reem Acra.
BGG: When will your new movie, The Family That Preys Together be in theaters?
Sanaa: It comes out this Friday!
Stay tuned for more Fashion Week coverage!

I love Sanaa. This was great. Thanks for working the tents. I like inside info…lol
you look amazing… definitely a superstar
and I love sanaa but she looked really uncomfortable in that video
@Eb – That’s probably because it was so much going on and too many ppl taking pics, trying to get her attention and then me in her face trying to ask questions. Plus, I was teetering in those shoes trying to hold my recorder and the video thingy, she probably thought i was about to fall, which I was on the verge of doing! LOL
Awesome! Sanaa Lathan is looking fab as usual. Way to get the interview!!!
Great interview!!! and….You look awesome!!! Keep up the great work!
