It's all about being the best that you can be, superficially at least. Air NZ Fashion Week's arrived and we're all invited The whole Fashion Week (FW) shabang launched on Monday evening with PM Helen monotonely addressing the guests. As I've now grown accustomed to though, this glitzy soiree came after a 7 night escapade that took in; meaningful art from Otis, fashion that stopped traffic, the Silver Scroll Awards, stand-up comedy, a golf cart sized Hummer, 3 bad boy NYC rappers, a house party where the DJ was 7 years old, the Qantas Film & TV Awards, a park bench and a Sunday Roast. All while maintaining a 1.5 pie per day consumption habit.
