Lindsay Lohan strikes a pose at the 2009 Whitney Museum Gala at The Whitney Museum of American Art on Monday  in New York City.

Had the most amazing time  on the movie set .Michael Patrick King was so sweet and so was Kim Catrall. Here are some pics of where one of the sets was being filmed (Steiner Studios) . For once i barely picked up the camera as i was so busy working but got the most precious shot of all- with Kim bloody Catrall ! (thank u tess!!!)  Unfortunately i cant put any pics of actually inside the set of the movie until the movie comes out …I really have to look a bit less starstruck  when getting pictures with people like this !

with the one and only Miles Dallas at Steiner studios !

how amazing is this apartment ??

This is the wonderful jewellery maker Diana Warner’s dog who i had the good fortune to meet this week! Back in the good oul days, he was Dorothys dog on a Broadway production of The Wizard of Oz.Seriously !

Amazing new track New York about her ex boyfriend leaving her for New York…(Sniffle)

Uughhh so sickies and its 2 days to new york . aahh!heellppppppp.  Stuck to the bed and feeling all sorry for myself. This cheered me up though- Interview about my “money managment” in the Irish Independant today. They made me sound all kinda…wise and stuff. Ahem….

Today i got a copy of  “The September Issue ” sent to me in Red and i just watched it. Its a documentary about the September 2008 issue of the fashion magazine Vogue which was  to be their biggest ever issue. It concentrated  on   the Editor-In-Chief ANNA WINTOUR, (MERYL STREEP’S character was based her in THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA). She has been described as the “most influencial woman in fashion” and  fashion designers practically “bow at her feet.”She is on a serious powertrip.

Fascinating to watch the  creative tension between Wintour  and her  creative director Grace Coddington who to me is much more talented artistically and who comes across as a much more down to earth,warmer  human being.Apart from the amazing shoots it showed being put together ,my fave part was when Bob the camera man got into a shot  with a model which was eventually run in the magazine and Anna wanted Bobs big belly to be photoshopped. Grace insisted it would’nt be, as she wanted him to look real.

Overall it was interesting to see the offices/daily goings on at the magazine which i have been buying every month for as long as i can remember. Has it turned me off the magazine? No. But i now look at it in a different light. It was obvious that Anna was playing up to the cameras ,especially when Grace was concerned about the budget for a shoot which ended up being a complete waste of time and wasnt run. It cost 50grand to put together.Hhhmm..50 grand.Think of all the good things that could be done with 50 grand. One thing i do know is that my idea of hell would to be to work in such a throwaway society like this. Get real .Is it me or is fashion supposed to be free? If anyone is a slave to fashion its me but to go to these extremes would take the fun out of it . Makes me wonder if u are not wearing something which is not “fashionable” and “in” according to Anna Wintour it doesnt mean you dont have style? And for the way she treats people ,i have come across tonnes of successful people who have  built amazing careers by being ,well, simply nice people. That much work can still get done with treating people with at least a bit of respect. Would the magazine be as successful if Anna Wintour was not such a bitch? Definetely. Powertrip.com.

Popped in to see GMC and co  at the old ESB building across from the Old Oak.Unreal building ! Some pics of Cork city yesterday evening  there too
