Melons! Extra large, eye-popping, show-stopping, jaw-dropping, solid-rocking, Heidi Montag-topping, never-flopping MELONS!
Fashion icons swarm the New York city streets in their own air of boundless fame. Queens of the queens and all of NYC fashionistas alike bow down to the one, the only. Amanda Lepore. Melons!
I dashed out of my apartment this morning into the ultimate encounter. Melons and Amanda Leopre-- all in one day! An exchange of "you are fabulous", "no, YOU!", "no, you!" see-sawed into a quick photoshoot.
Nature prompted the rest of my shoot to the fruit aisle, that very same aisle that Amanda used as her inspiration for her most recent Dr. 90210 visit. Melons and melons. I grew up never liking melons. But I respect good melons.
