In New York for Fashion Week with HP and Vivienne Tam

Posted on 18 February 2009 by


Today has been a long day starting with the early morning wakeup, drive to San Angelo, and then flights to Dallas and then to New York. The reason for all the fuss is that I am one of approximately twenty bloggers who have been invited to attend several Vivienne Tam events happening during New York’s Fashion Week. Obviously this is all tied in with the HP Vivienne Tam Mini Note that I have been sporting lately. ;-)

Tonight we had a casual meet & greet in the W’s Living Room; it was nice to meet some of the other bloggers that I keep up with, who have also been chosen to try out their own Tams.

Tomorrow we have a private city tour, and then tomorrow evening we’ll be attending Vivienne Tam’s Fall 2009 Collection and after-party. We also have several events at the Vivienne Tam Boutique on Thursday. Pretty swank, huh?

It goes without saying that this experience will be quite different than the tech events which I have covered in the past; the invited bloggers write for a wide variety of site genres, so it will be interesting to see how differently we all interpret the events unfolding over the next couple of days…

Bloggers attending include:

Ponzi – Geeks!
Amisha – Notebooks.com
Andru – Gear Live
Dana – The Art of Accessories
Tierra – Tech Starlet
Tammy – A Mom in Red High Heels
Casey – moosh in indy
Caroline – Morningside Mom

Judie – Gear Diary
Julie – OSNN
Terri – Mobile PC World

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
