I Refuse To Stand...

This economic deficit has hit mighty freaking hard in the United States. Obama is doing his best to improve the unfortunate mess that Bush passed down; but in the mean time all we can do is hope for the best & live through the worst.

Of course nobody is safe not even the ever so popular Marc Jacobs. We all cried when news that his biannual return to glam after party was canceled due to budgets cuts. Well that dreadful budget cut daemon is back! & this time it forced the MJ company to downsize their entire production for their up coming NY Fashion Week show. Instead of sending out the usual 2,000 invites this year only a lucky 700 will be sent. Usually about 1,100 guests sit to enjoy the show while the other 900 stand in the background; now, instead this time around, 500 will be seated while 200 stand and watch.

The show will still be held in the same place luckily, because the 69th Regiment Armory was booked beforehand last year. As for celebrities, Jacobs's business partner Robert Duffy said, "There may be one or two.". Duffy went on to say...
"This isn't the time to spend the money to entertain the entire world…. Everybody thinks it costs the same money to entertain 500 people as opposed to 2,000"..."It doesn't. All those 2,000 people still need to be seated, they still need to check in, this one needs this, that one needs that, and you know what? It's very costly."

Well I suggest that the invited bring a big bottle of water and something to keep them selfs entertained with, considering the show started 2 hrs late, especially if your one of the lucky 200 whom get to stand all show.
