Today was quite exhausting. We worked for twelve hours–9:30 to 7:00 was the pre-show open to the press, but they actually ended up buying a ton of stuff which we hadn’t expected. This is the booth:
At 7:00 was a reception which was super cool to be part of. It was like Natasha’s Career As An Undercover High Schooler in the Adult World times eight. It was quite fancy and posh and like the parties that were on the early episodes of Gossip Girl. You know how that type of person who went to boarding school in Connecticut and then took the predictable trust fund route from there speaks with a sort of British accent even though they’re totally not British? That’s how a lot of these people were. But there were also a lot of up-and-coming designers from Brooklyn who were really fun to talk to. It’s crazy getting to see the inside of this sort of art-dealing world–I don’t get the picture that many get to experience it.
