Fashion Week S/S '09, Behind the Scenes Part 1: Fun Fun Fun with my BFF Simona McIntyre

Wednesday night at Simona's lovely Brooklyn abode we (okay, she) concocted a scrumptiously raw organic salad bursting with fresh avocados, organic cucumbers, local romaine, nori seaweed, and other delicious veganity:

Simona and I then headed to the surprisingly close Santo's Party House to see The Virgins (a.k.a. Stam's favorite band); so it came as little surprise to spot Jessica there in all her "hipster" glory:

The Young Lords opened the set:

... warming up with the hilarious bassist from The Virgins (his expressions whilst playing were utterly priceless):

I thought she was so chirpy and cute [below]! She simply radiated all night... does anyone know who she possibly is? Merci:

(my) dress: Alexander Wang; vest: vintage Chanel; hat: Sonia Rykiel; pin: Chanel; shoes: Stella McCartney; purse: vintage from Screaming Mimi's

(Simona's) dress: Madison Marcus; sweater: Theory; shoes: Marni; bag: Mulberry; bracelet: vintage, from her mum's jewelry box!

After a Zero + Maria Cornejo casting Thursday morning, we made our way up to VPL by Victoria Bartlett and ran into Simona's fellow Marilyn super, Arlenis Sosa:

Arlenis is candidly one of my absolute favorite models, and her warmhearted, easygoing disposition makes her such a pleasure to be around! Check out her chill Alexander Wang boyfriend jeans and Simona's pre-birthday Pencey dress from a little bunny:

I also ran into [not photographed] bunny amie Zuzanna Krzatala (remember this interview?) and mad brilliant model blogger Daul Kim (whose blog I adore and mentioned among my favorites when asked byTeen Vogue)!

Be sure to peruse Simona's take on last night -- including her pristine video of their "Hey Hey Girl" performance to boot -- over at "Art This Week: The Virgins at Santo's Party House"!

More to come...

Do you know that [Simona is] in http://www.stylesightings.com/. I can't believe I recognized [Simona]. I really love the blue tiered top [Simona is] wearing. May I ask who's the designer?

I went to Santos with a good friend of mine and we were told at the door that they were sold out. I was so shocked! I had no idea the Virgins were so huge in NY and could actually sell out Santos. So congrats for going and giving me a little peek inside of what I missed [but have already seen in concert before]

PS I kind of just want to be your personal photog and follow you around for a week, haha.
