My HAUTEST moments at New Zealand Fashion Week!!!

by Derek Fabulous

First thing is first!! We had our own private paparazzi!!!! Venus Tong from Party Wolves worked it out for us!!! She took the pic above and some of the best of the week!!! She is my jam.  With me in the photo ( and yes I am wearing a duvet)  is (left to right) Daniel Bourchert ( an AMAZEBALLS journalist who flew up from Australia to follow me !), my BFF Casie Stewart (wearing NZ designer and DFAB FAV Adrian Hailwood), and the world renowned journalist Patty Huntington!!! HONEY WE WERE OUT FOR REAL on our way to the HOFFER show ( stay tuned for tomorrows post) !!!!!

I want to introduce the first person I met when I got off the plane!!!! Her name, if you don’t know her already, is Casie Stewart and she is a social networking genius ( MTV Canada and MUCH MUSIC say so anyway), the Canadian National Spokesperson for Cervical cancer, newly named PROVACATEUR for Virgin Atlantic Airlines and the BADDEST BITCH BLOGGER ever!!!! I would not have had the same experience if she was not by my side the entire trip!!!! She was my sunshine and the Queen of AWESOMENESS!!! Check us out here having fun!!! Casie you are a role model on living your dreams to young women everywhere!!! Check her out at http://www.casiestewart.com

Showing off my goodies from MAJA designer Nick Von K.   There was a story in the newspaper written about this moment.   Check it out  here.

My FAVES Casie Stewart, Natalie Cantell  who is very thin (she asked me to write that) from Russh mag, and Krista White from America’s Next Top Model.

Ok, now here is the real SCANDAL of our trip!!!! This evening was the wildest night of them all!!!! We are all at the Nom’D afterparty ( they did a very bizarre, yet FIERCE presentation (check it out here) and we really let our hair down… above is me with my future assistant Nick Parnell and the LOVELY AND AMAZING Janey Evett.  Janey is Nicole Miller’s assistant and was by far the hardest worker on this trip but make no mistake this girl can paaaaaaaaaaaaarteeeeeeeee!!!!

We were so blessed to be taken to Waiheke Island to Stonyridge Vineyard to eat, drink and be very MARY!!! The view was amazing and here I am with my new BFF Krista White (ANTM) and my NEW HANDLER Nick Parnell…we definitely had the most fun and the staff at Stonyridge REALLY took care of us!!!!! If you visit New Zealand it is a MUST HIT!!!!!  Here is a shot of the famous Stonyridge Restaurant.

Here I am with my friend / mega fashion doyenne ( and my big sister) Nicole Miller  sailing with all of our new friends around Auckland harbor… so amazingly beautiful!!!! It was our first and last relaxing casual day …thank goodness they had juice on the boat to ensure we became as relaxed as we got to be!

The Hautest ladies in NZ braving the weather. Left to right: Lucy Lawless, my big sis Nicole Miller, Keisha Castle Cruise and of course Krista White.

Here I am with my big sis Nicole Miller and my bff 4 life Casie Stewart before Nicoles show!!!!!!!!!

Last but not least, I have to thank Air New Zealand for sponsoring me getting there and not throwing us off the plane for having so much fun!!!! WARNING: if you do travel with them do not order wine!!! THEY HAVE THE BEST WINE IN THE OPEN SKIES…. as you can see I was trouble!!!!! TEE HEE!!!!
