Intermix First stop: One of my favorite stores in Los Angeles, Intermix on Roberston Blvd. It carries EVERYTHING a hip, young Hollywood girl wants and needs to have in her walk-in closet! With the help of two lovely models, we shot a segment highlighting the NEON trend for this Spring/Summer '09 season and how you ladies can wear this hot look; whether it is on the weekend, at the office or a night on the town. Bubble Gum Barbie: Heidi Klum in the fabulous Matthew Williamson jacket and slim trousers For the weekend look, we put together an "LA Casual" yet "Hampton's Chic" look which I LOVED: The exaggerated-shoulder white jacket, the bright royal blue top, the acid washed "holey" 80s style jeans, and the studded sandals. So cute! For business--I found the SAME bubblegum pink silk-cotton Matthew Williamson jacket that Heidi Klum wore to the Project Runway Season 6 Finale and paired it with some pleated and tapered black pants, some black heels and a hefty metallic bag, roomy enough to put all your papers in but stylish enough to be worn after work. Who says you can't wear Neon to work-- only if it's done as we show you!Nick and Christian Siriano's...Dress: Nick Verreos with model (in Christian Siriano), Intermix on Robertson Blvd. Finally, for evening, we found this hot chartreuse colored silk chiffon and organza muti-layered dress at Intermix which just screamed "Take me Nick!". Wouldn't you just know it: It was designed by none other than Project Runway Season 5 Winner, Christian Siriano. I loved the way it moved so effortlessly and floated beautifully away from the wearer's body. You can eat a big ol' Filet Mignon and still go dance it off afterwards! W Hotel Los Angeles: Victoria's Secret Swimsuits!Can we Reserve a Cabana: Nick Verreos poses with Victoria's Secret Swimsuit-clad models After my jaunt at Intermix--and after a quick outfit change--I headed over to the sunny W Hotel in Westwood to say "What's Up??" to the sexy and gorgeous Marisa Miller who was debuting the Summer '09 Victoria's Secret Swimsuit Collection. When I arrived, the pool area was already filled with paparazi and press photographers wanting a glimpse of Marisa and the latest VS Swimsuits, which by the way, were so adorable, wearable and still very stylish. Turn here Marisa: Marisa Miller poses at the press photo op, Victoria Secret Swimsuit Launch at the W Hotel Los Angeles I was TOTALLY OVERDRESSED of course, somehow I left my Speedos at home for this segment--Ooops! But then again, I was there to interview Marisa and see the new line--not to be swimming or modeling (thank the Victoria's Secret Gods!). Marisa was SO unbelievably cute, it's BEYOND words. I had interviewed her a few times before for my "Behind The Scenes at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" segments and she remembered. Watch the video below to see how Marisa said "Goodbye" to me. Let's just say A LOT of Straight men wish it would have been them!!!!!

In the spirit of tonight's airing of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, I thought I would do a little catch up and give my "Behind the Scenes" Blog to accompany my video that was posted on bravotv.com and now here.

I was at the University of Kansas for an appearance when I got the call to do backstage and "Pink Carpet" correspondance for the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Two days later, back in Los Angeles, I cut my class short and headed on the 101 to Hollywood. The thought of being with the most beautiful women in the world made me almost get in an accident as I texted about half a dozen of my closest of friends!

I showed up, in my pink polo shirt ready for my assignment. I was to ask the girls just one question: “What is in your lingerie drawer?” Before, I could say “Joe Boxer”; I was whisked to a private room in back of the Renaissance Hotel, next to the Kodak Theater where the models were preparing for the show. Immediately, I run into Karolina Kurkova. I just love pronouncing her name. I feel like a Russian ballet instructor every time I say it. I had met Karolina at another Victoria’s Secret event and she recognized me. We chatted and even did some “dirty dancing” while singing “Sexy Back”.

Once inside the hallowed chambers of the make-up and hair room, I almost felt numb. It was a fantasy come true. From my participation on Season 2 of Project Runway, it was obvious that I adore models. They are, as I said, my muses. Imagine, for me, not just being in a room with models, but with Supermodels. Gisele Bundchen, fellow Brazilian, Adriana Lima, exotic Oluchi Onweagba, they were all there getting ready. I didn’t know what to do other than to want to do a “model walk off” with them. I could not, of course for obvious reasons, notwithstanding the fact that they were busy getting their rollers, hair extensions, and fake eyelashes on,but more importantly, I am certain that there are public decency laws in California that prevent me from wearing Victoria's Secret Pink Panties.

Camera in tow, I proceeded to ask the models my “What is in their drawers” question. Gisele was sweet and professional, saying she likes thongs and lacy bras to feel sexy. Then I spotted “Victor & Rolf” muse, Brazilian Raquel Zimmermann, and congratulated her on her “wedding” to the design duo earlier this month here in LA. I approached several other Victoria’s Secret models, including Izabel Goulart, Angela Lindvall, Allesandra Ambrosio, and got some fun answers to my cheeky question of the day.

The show began with a hot performance by Justin Timberlake. Now, I must admit that I liked Justin’s music but was not always a “fan”. I have always been more of a Jay Kay of Jamiroquai fan. He has been MY Justin when Justin was still in High School! However, after seeing Mr. Timberlake in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show performing several of his songs live and dancing his little booty off, well, I was ready to get my “Justin” membership card. I became a 14 year old girl in an instant, screaming and yelling. While seeing the Godesses of Ubermodels work the Swarovski crystal runway, one quickly figures out why these divine creatures make the money they make. They are worth every Euro, or Brazilian Real.

Those "America's Next Top Model" wannabes need to watch this show and take note. I have a feeling most of these girls were born walking this way; there was no need for a class with "Miss Jay".

The After Party was held nearby at The Roosevelt Hotel and before I knew it, most of the cast of ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” was hovered around me in conversation. For the rest of the night, I chatted with hottie actor, Justin Chambers and his lovely wife, Keisha, as well as actors, Sarah Ramirez, and Kate Walsh. I discovered that they were all fans of Project Runway and we spoke of having me design them a dress or two. My evening ended going home after I caught myself staring at the Roosevelt pool and wanting to jump in it.

Here is the Behind the Scenes video I did, just in case you missed it before. It will also be in my permanent video section on the side of this blog in case you need a little dose of Supermodel to brighten up your day...(or make you feel more depressed!).
