Backstage at the New York City Fashion Show
I’m sure many men, and even some women, have fantasized about what it would be like backstage at a New York City fashion show. Images of beautiful women running around in their underwear come to mind. Curiosity peaks our interest. Let me take you backstage with me during the Rolling with Style Gala held in New York City at Cipriani’s on February 6, during the glitzy Fashion Week. I’ve got news for you, I never saw anyone in their underwear backstage. They were all in the lady’s restroom changing clothes. Don’t let me disappoint you; I have plenty to tell you!

The fashion designers who participated by creating...
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
