Binky shopping: WRONG.
But when Johnny shops ... :
Well, between all the designer names (#clueless) and the bazillion Fashion Week events, I am feeling just slightly out of step with Johnny's world (see top photo above). But I'm excited to see the media coverage that I hope will be coming out of all this Fashion Week stuff--unlike the HRC dinner Saturday night, which, while focused on an enormously worthwhile cause--marriage equality--was practically a media blackout, seemingly cloaked in be-robed secrecy and sorely lacking in instantaneous posting of vids and photos of Johnny. Hello. What were you people doing at this dinner? Don't you know there are 80,000+ Twitter followers and now more than 50,000 (yay!) Facebook fans staying up till all hours waiting for just the smallest crumb of a Johnny twitpic to come drifting our way from your lofty NYC heights...?

(apparently not).
Only NealB in NYC kinda came through for us, and we're still waiting patiently, in the way that gnats diagnosed with ADHD and completely strung out on crack are patient, for his promised vids to show up on his site.
Anyway: Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (four words that are really completely lacking in meaning for me but I'm trying. to. grasp. the. concept.) comes roaring our way this Wednesday, beginning with the Red Dress Collection, the charity event that opens Fashion Week tomorrow night. Johnny will be attending, and hey! CBSNews.com is offering a live webcast! Which is a thing that should always immediately follow the word "Johnny" in any given sentence. So I'll be tuning in for that and looking for clues as to what, exactly, a Fashion Week is, and why.
But the real excitement for Johnny fans is Thursday, when he'll be walking in Richie Rich's "Villionaire":
This is the only Fashion Week show I know of that has ever been opened to the public (Richie, you are awesome). Tickets are very reasonably priced, so please don't miss out if you can possibly be there--proceeds are going to two wonderful charities, and the location--The Hammerstein at Manhattan Center--is amazing. I know some fans have already bought their tickets, and I am
I also see from his website that Johnny is walking in shows for Asher Levine and Indashio (Google is my friend); skating (skating!) in Elise Øverland's show; and walking in Adrienne Landau's show, for which he also has designed some pieces. (Check out Adrienne and Indashio on Twitter--they're so excited to have Johnny in their shows!--and this article on Asher and Johnny's collaboration.) He's also attending other shows, including Chris Benz and of course Isaac Mizrahi.
So it's a big week in Johnny world, but for those of us who reside outside that sparkly stratosphere and must live
