Miami Fashion Week 2009–Shay Todd

My friend got us on the list to the Shay Todd fashion show at the W on South Beach on Friday.

OMG–I had a blast!  Not only were we sitting in the front row, but I amused myself before the show began by spotting a few quasi-celebs.  (ie: reality TV star Dina from New Jersey Real Housewives and that blond photographer chick from Miami Social)

This was a true smartypanties experience.  Free tickets, front row, high-end swimwear fashion show.

Truth be told, I was unimpressed with the majority of the bathing suits.  I get that she was going for the “vintage pin-up girl look” for the suits, but they were high waisted and ill-fitting and looked more like control-top granny panties than couture swimwear.  And not to be rude, but the model who opened the show looked like she might’ve been born a man.

Despite the suits being underwhelming, I had a blast at the show…the production itself was gorgeous and the W seems like it would be a super fun place to have drinks and hang out.  Plus, NIVEA sponsored the show and gave us all canvas bags filled with NIVEA products!  I’ll be reviewing those shortly, so stay tuned, dolls!

Gorgeous show, some interesting bathing suits, and a super fun time overall!!!
