Jezebel
We couldn't let our first Fashion Week go by without making some sort of a statement, right? Yeah, well, today that statement shat itself all over the steps leading up to the tents in midtown Manhattan's Bryant Park. At precisely 2pm today, two badass young broads clad in eggplant-hued stewardess outfits sidled up to the cement staircase facing NYC's 6th Avenue bearing gifts for the dazzling yet dispossessed: Jezebel barf-bags. (Yes, real, airline-approved barf-bags). Inside the bags? More fashionista fun, namely, Ex-Lax, tongue depressors and, to top it all off, Tic-Tacs. (Who doesn't need a little freshening up after a particularly purge-worthy display of expensive shit?). Below, a gallery of more pictures. (Click on any picture to see entire set)

Hot.
Should have been there yesterday! Then some of our fashion-y peeps could have indulged in the Krispy Kremes!
Oh, Jezebel. I love you.
making a statement as to how Fashion Week and what it represents makes you sick or how sickly models are? Then again, that's part of what Fashion Week represents, so...whatever. Kinda lame. Do you have executions like Gawker does? I'm probably headed to one now.
What I wouldn't do to be one of those girls!!
How do those of us unable to attend the hurl fest pick up one of those lovely Jezebel barf bags? I feel like seeing the logo would make me smile after I filled it with the remnants of a long night of Johnny on the rocks.
@monkeyta:
A little bit of both I'm guessing. And I love it!!!!
should've been passing those out in the hallways of my high school...seriously, love it, love you!
Ooh, that is nasty. I like the way you folks think.
i'm thin and unemployed, WHY ISN'T THAT ME UP THERE??
Genius!
And won't that model be so proud to include that pic in her book!
I LOVE YOU GUYS! Oh, please PLEASE be there when I have to cover the show...I need a Jezebel barf bag! LOVES IT!
That IS hot! Next project: The pure elation of smashing shit (read: plates) in public, a la the "Fashion Plate: Stop Starvation Imagery" guerrilla action of About Face in SF. If anyone asks, you can simply call it performance art, and then you bet your ass you'll see a Chanel sweater with baby porcelain teacups clanking daintily from fluttery sleeves at the next Fashion Week!
You crafty-ass bitches. Rock. On.
Jezebel: Not afraid to be servicey.
Hot! How can I become one?
dear jezebel,
ilu.
xo,
me
You guys rock so hard, I'm just proud to be reading your blog. Sniff, I feel tears coming on...
I'm curious as to what the reaction was like for these lovely ladies and their "goodie" bags.
Awww, I was just there... I woulda loved to see this. Loved. Nice work ladies.
@TwiceShy: What I wouldn't be to do one of those girls.
@BiscuitDoughJones: Word!
Mmmm, smell the snark in the air. I love it.
Should have seen if Showroom Seven would co-sponsor given their anti-food-digestion stance.
@Mediahohoho: I wouldn't wanna be one. Or do one. I just wanna do their makeup. Is that so wrong?
Oh, you're going to throw up? Bless your heart...have a barf bag.
J'adore Jezebel. That is all.
Love.
You forgot the Sweet n Low packets.
@BAngieB: A completely ADEQUITE barf bag, no doubt.
My only regret is that our little fashionista/attention whore is busy "healing herself" in the wilds of Montana or Wyoming or whereverthehell they locked her up. She's missing all the fun and free swag!
@lfw1031: As a U.S. American, I personally believe that you are not truly being supportive of my pretty, pretty girl why she is trying to heal herself. Such as breaking her coke addiction. Such as getting off the booze. Such as dealing with her parents. Now, on the other hand, I could benefit from some fashion, coke, and free swag. Those Yankee bitches wouldn't know what hit them if a bunch of big-haired, loud-mouthed Southern girls hit fashion week.
Such a heart felt public service, which really speaks to the spirit of the event. Fucking brilliant.
bruh-illiant
Ingenious!!! I heart jezebel!
LOVE IT!!!! I salute you and the cajones that took. Brilliant.
I think these lovely ladies were confused. These were supposed to be the "bagged lunches" for the models, not the public.
@monkeyta: I'm with you.
I love Jezebel, but I kinda wish you'd stay out of Fashion Week. Except Jennifer, because I think we share a brain. Or at least obsessive love of Vena Cava.
@BAngieB: Sigh. You are right. I am not being supportive. Especially in light of the fact that she has such an impact on our younger generations...
We should send her a Jezebel-authorized barf bag.
SQUEEEE! I LOVE IT!!!
@lfw1031: Well, for all her problems, she isn't a stick insect like so many of the other girls. She just gets coked and boozed up to dull the pain and then shows her ass when she doesn't get her way. OH, wait, that's me. No, it's me 20 years ago. I'm still giving her the benefit of the doubt that she can get her shit together. However, I trust that when she is once again on the loose, she will put on her wedge heels and her short-shorts, flash a peace sign and cut a wide swath through any room full of swag
the only thing that would've made the statement more jabbing is if you hired plus-sized models.
@lesbiansayswhat: Now I'm in.
@lesbiansayswhat: Now THAT would have be friggin awesome.
I so wish I could have seen people's reactions. Hmmm...some sort of hidden Jezebel-cam...?
I love fashion week, and I shop at Wal mart!
Jezebel rocks the fucking casbah.
This gives me the warm-fuzzies.
Now I wished I walked over to the tents to stare during lunch, oh wait, I don't get a lunch.
@BAngieB:
I've got a can of Aqua Net and I'm not afraid to use it.
To add to the deafening chorus: I love you guys!
D'aww, what a nice thing for you to do! Now there won't be puddles of puke on the sidewalks.
@flackette: Get (hand slap) your (hand slap) hands (hand slap) off that! Do. You. Know. Who. My. Daddy. Is?

Godspeed, Jezebel.
Those poor stewardesses. Now the other girls won't let them play in their supermodel games.
Awesome. Simply awesome.
@Mediahohoho: meh. Neither are my type. I just would want to be front row on the reactions.
