The Bunny Report Takes on Fashion Week: The Snoopy Fashion Show
By Jordan Kinney
So the word is, like no actual fashion professionals wanted to go to the Snoopy Metlife Charity Fashion Show at Bryant Park but, uh, clearly they're retarded because this show was AMAZING! First of all, the theme was "Snoopy" (not sure why, BTW) and if you know me, you know I'm OBSESSED with Snoopy… I think. My parents used to buy me tons of Snoopy crap for like my birthdays and stuff and in effect convinced me that I actually liked it, but it was kind of weird because they mostly bought me these things (plush toys, video anthologies, anamatronic robot dolls, pewter statues…. not lying) when I was like 15 and it fashioned me a total freakwad to any passerbyers of my creepo whimsical bedroom. But I mean, having successfully veered clear of possible MJ territories (Peter Pan syndrome, so tragic!) and having instead segued my investment in the Snoopy character catalogue as one comparable to that of a young Asian female (with a dash more intellect!), I felt confidently non-weird in attending this show!

Fashion Week Mouth Off: Christo and Jeanne Claude at the Snoopy Show
By Carol Lee
As you've seen it on Saturday's front page of The Post featuring Cory Kennedy rocking the Snoopy-shouldered plushy overcoat by Jeremy Scott, the Metlife/Snoopy show was worth the trek to the treacherous fashion tents at Bryant Park. You'll hear more on this extravaganza from our Bunny who is obsessed with Snoopy, so I won't get into it too much, but let me just say that it was entertainment for all ages. And of all things that could've been trés bizarre at this event, the weirdest was spotting Christo and Jeanne Claude, the much fretted about art couple in the front row alongside Elizabeth Hasselback of The View and Heatherette's Richie Rich and Traver Rains. See this photo of them checking out the Laura Bennett's (of Project Runway) interpretation of Woodstock. I guess it just goes to show that the Peanuts gang has an undeniable crossover appeal, and seeing as how Jeane Claude's hair is of a cartoon color it's not that surprising after all! And might I add that having them there created an aura that the spectacle was a real cultural event and not just some retarded fashion show based on comic strip characters.
