So, it was my first Betsey Johnson show and I didn’t know what to expect. I knew it would be high energy, really colorful and definitely Fun (with a capital F). When you see a show like this, it’s just a great reminder that fashion is meant to be young and playful. It’s about not following rules, or taking anything too seriously. I mean, when it comes down to it, taking ourselves too seriously is totally a bore. The trick to being not bored, is to do lots of cartwheels, splits, jumping jacks, pushups, arm lifts (with champagne bottles) all the while talking excessively on cell phones while donning a crazy floppy hair wig. I mean, how awesome is that?
