Immediately following my stint as Judge and "Special Celebrity Guest" at the Third Annual Project Red Dress Fundraiser Fashion Show extravaganza, I prepared myself for the next fashion show, also taking place at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel Spanish Ballroom: The Forbidden Fashion Show. No time for "outfit change" so I kept my Project Red Dress-themed red jacket and black silk jacquard Dolce & Gabbana tie on...Iridescent Runway: The HOLO Grid Holographic Catwalk, Spanish Ballroom, Fairmont Olympic Seattle Hotel (photo courtesy of Jorge Hernandez)

Red Couture "Out" (for now) and "In" with lingerie and swimsuits! The Ballroom cocktail "lobby" was packed as the HOLO Grid Holographic Runway was cleared and guests were escorted to take their seats. I was invited as a "Special Guest" once again, but this time no judging--just enjoying a front-row seat viewing the most perfectly toned bodies in the Emerald City (Note to Self: More Time on the Tread Mill!!!).

This time around, instead of Poison Waters (who hosted PRD), it was Fordidden Fashion Show Producer/Director and Co-Host, my good friend Eduardo Khawam who gave me a seat next to him in his VIP Interview Chat Section. The fashion show was comprised of the latest styles for Spring/Summer 2010 for lingerie, underwear as well as swimsuits.Holographic Pool: Models showing swimsuits from Tininha's Boutique and Cintli Jewelry by Beto Yarce (photo courtesy of Jorge Hernandez)

I heard a "Casting Call" was sent out for "Seattle's Most Perfect Bodies", and by the looks of what I was seeing, they were all there!

The following night, I was once again a special guest at the "Forbidden Show After Party" held at the Little Red Bistro and Studio in Seattle's South Lake Union area. Little Red Bistro and Studio, Seattle

Models, designers, sponsors and everyone-who-is-anyone in the Seattle "Fashion Scene" were there to enjoy the special Forbidden Fashion Show cocktails, great dance/house music and some delicious French-inspired cuisine.

I had a fun night chatting with the guests, especially the models, trying to find out their diet and work-out routine to get those "Forbidden Fashion Show" physiques. Here's a hint: I don't think it involves the delicious Steak Campagne I enjoyed for dinner there at the Little Red Bistro!
Thank you Seattle for a lot of of Red Couture...and "forbidden" Fashion Fun!

Clothing Optional...
Am I Over-Dressed With My Hermes Belt: Nick Verreos, Andrew Christian Models and guests Mike Lucas and Spiro Skentzos, Andrew Christian Store Opening Party

This Memorial Day Weekend, instead of going away to Palm Springs or Abu Dhabi for the three-day weekend like most of the fashionista A-List (well, I saw Sex And The City 2, does that count?) I stayed in Los Angeles. Photo Courtesy of LookBookLA.com

And I'm glad I did, because my good friend of over 10 years (we were TWELVE when we met!!!), designer Andrew Christian, was having his "Opening Night Party" for his flagship store in West Hollywood. Window Un-Dressed: Andrew Christian West Hollywood Store Window (photo courtesy of LookBookLA.com)

Of course I didn't come alone and brought my two cutie friends of A LONG time, Mike Lucas and Spiro Skentzos (my Greek "sister"!). The new store--located in the "heart" of West Hollywood on Santa Monica Blvd, was packed with guests sipping on white wine, enjoying the DJ's tunes and shopping...doing LOTS of shopping!

All the sexy underwear that you would expect from Andrew Christian were on display.
As well as lots of his latest swimsuit styles --my favorite being the cropped shorts style and a pair of Seersucker ones I wished I would have bought! (I got the cropped ones instead). Trois: Andrew Christian, Nick Verreos and JP Calderon, Andrew Christian Store Opening

I had a great time shopping for my upcoming trip to Italy (Positano here I come!). Also there shopping was one of my all-time favorite boys, the very sexy and always Oh SOOO NICE J.P. Calderon, of Survivor Cook Islands and Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency and...

Andrew Christian's fellow Bravo's Season One The Fashion Show alumn and finalist, James-Paul. This was my first time meeting him and OMG, he's sooooo tiny!! All in all, Mike, Spiro and I had a blast at this FAB Andrew Christian West Hollywood Store Opening. We mingled, enjoyed some wine, shopped and spent some money. Yeah, I guess that was Andrew Christian's plan!
