Where the Models Roam in NYC
Models aren't really my thing, as a matter of fact, every time I'm around a model I find my self esteem to be about as big as an Oompa Loompa. Funny because the small self esteem is derived by the fact that indeed, I LOOK like an Oompa Loompa in comparison. Then I had a revelation; one night out, (while wearing a killer pair of heels) I found myself amidst a whole gang of models (usually my worst nightmare) and rather than feelings stubby and unattractive, I found them to be interesting creatures to watch. I felt like I was in the middle of really fancy exhibit at the museum. Who are these people? What planet did they originate from? Don't touch, they are fragile, rare creatures. And just like an ancient piece of pottery, I have no desire to BE a rare gem, but they sure are fun to look at.
Bryant Park where Fashion Week is held in New York City
Fashion Week.......
“Work Supermodel, WORK!!” I wonder if the models have a constant soundtrack of Rupaul’s song, “Supermodel” when they get ready to strut down the catwalk? I sure hope so.
Fashion Week is held in Bryant Park where a series of designers present their latest “collections.” It’s a wellspring of skinny, ahem I mean, models. During the Spring and Fall you can see hundreds of models prancing down the runways at alarming speeds….oh wait, I think I’m getting them confused with horse races (though the Victoria Secret model walk looks slightly like that of a Clydesdale.)
Among many photo studios Milk is by far the coolest. Large photo shoots are held in the rooms upstairs and in the gallery below are photographers showcases, artists shows, etc. Stand outside Milk long enough and you’ll be sure to find someone you’re tempted to force feed a bagel to.

Roll with the VIP'S
Have you ever seen a model standing in a line at a club? NO. That’s like seeing a model at a dessert tasting at Chickalicious, not. gonna. happen. So if you’d like to see some gazelles walk through the velvet rope, you’ve got to know where the VIP’S roll.
Any club that has a fancy doorman with a snobbish glare and patronizing smile is where you’ll find the pretty people. Just don’t get testy if you’re turned away, remember that same doorman has a team of scary men with big muscles, who will kick your ass if you get snarky.
Socialista
505 West St. New York, NY 10014
Socialista is such a “fancy people” hang out, that it’s even mentioned in Gossip Girl and has a Cuban flare to add to the exclusiveness.
Calvin Klein= hot people in underwear.
Whenever I think model, Calvin Klein is the first designer in my mind. The campaigns responsible for getting dangerously attractive people in their underwear, on HUGE. BILLBOARDS.The perk for me, my roommate works there meaning- a lot of hot model Polaroid’s are hanging around. Score.

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful....
Have you longed to be a model? Are your legs five thousand feet long? Are you five million feet tall?…….If so, visit the listings below and stop waiting for someone to discover you in a Pizza Hut.
Marc Jacobs knows a thing or two about models….from the looks of this photo, maybe he should be one?
Nothing screams model more than a woman dripped head-to-toe in Marc Jacobs. Yeah regular people wear it too, but only “model-y regular people.” Not only does he have his own line, but Marc is also the creative director for the high end designer Louis Vuitton…..have you looked at the price tag on a Louis? Let’s call those numbers, “model money.”

Mansion
530 w. 28th St. New York, NY 10001
I was a door snob....
Oh yes, it’s a true story. You know what happens when you need extra cash? You agree to work the DOOR, giving/denying access to people wearing their “whore best” ready to “party!”
One night, not long ago…little Chelsea was “The Guest List Girl” I put on my snooty face, and too-high, too-expensive heels, and worked the door, schmoozing with promoters and allowing anyone over 6ft. in a sequined dress, into the club.
The best line of the evening?
“Uh, Hey….I’m with FORD models, you’ll let me in right?”
My answer.
“Certainly, sweetheart.”
They walk AND they talk.
It’s easy to find models prancing down a runway, but sitting and listening to a model speak her mind isn’t always an easy task to accomplish. Unless, you go to a taping of The Tyra Show. Can you believe she just celebrated her 500th show????…….I had no idea there were even 500 lip gloss’s to discuss, oh- there was the fat suit episode? That was pretty good… Amazing.
