Yeah, so I won a trip to New York thanks to my son's design skills. While there, I met some people with whom you might be familiar:
A picture is indeed worth a thousand words, and you can imagine how I swooned and OMG!ed and basically had "I LOVE you" on repeat coming out of my mouth as I met Project Runway designers and models (and folks like Nina Garcia - squee!) So I won't recap that in excruciating detail, although you can peruse my whole set of pics to get the feel. Let's just say it is quite surreal to watch a show on a large television screen along with the people pictured in said show.
As for New York, the stories involve how a lady dropped a blanket on my head accidentally, and how the flight attendant on my way back asked me, "Just ONE?" when I requested an alcoholic beverage.
And the $1000 omelet that I thought the hotel people were joking about when I checked in, but upon reading the breakfast menu, saw there was indeed an omelet for $1000 (with caviar.) I ordered the Crepes Suzette instead.
Although I only drove through my old neighborhood briefly, it was nice to be back in New York City, even for a day.
It was a whirlwind trip, but the experience of a lifetime.
(Get it... Lifetime?)

Hey Kari!
It was so awesome meeting you! Sorry it was all so brief, but I loved it. It was a blast hanging out and experiencing it all together! Oh, and I'm SO jealous that you got a picture with Carol Hannah! I predicted her to win but never got the guts to go and ask for a picture.
Anyway, loved hanging out! Awesome post! Muah!

Awesome! I'm so glad you won, you're such a Project Runway fan!! Plus you looked fabulous in that outfit at BowlHer.
Looks like you had a blast. I love that you include pics of the flowers and room service, too. Very much the full experience!
Malvin is adorable, can I adopt him?

I had the french toast. OMG the french toast!
So fun to be there with you. And sorry I got lost on the way back to the hall of mirrors.
