NY Fashion Week – Freebies at the tents!

By Lesley Kennedy

With long lines and time to kill, there’s lots to check out – and handouts to be taken – inside the tents at Bryant Park, where most of the Fashion Week shows are held. Here’s what you could find:

Sharpies!

The pen company hosted a booth, handing out hundreds of markers in a bunch of colors, along with white bangles, sunglasses, headbands and Betsey Johnson-designed T-shirts for guests to decorate.

McDonalds! McCafe was on site to offer coffee drinks (aka fashion fuel!). Too bad those blended drinks have so many calories.

Muscle Milk! I’m sorry, but gross name. Pass.

Cookies! Of course I’ll take one. Make that two.

Rubber duckies! Lufthansa airlines asked: Want a $100 voucher off a European flight? Well, sure! Oh, I have to book it by the end of the month? Maybe not. But I will take one of those cute rubber duckies wearing a pilot’s hat.

Hairspray! I spotted a few lucky souls getting blowouts and styles in the Treseme hair care line booth. Well, maybe not lucky — I mean, getting your hair blown out in front of 100s of fashion snobs, might actually be a nightmare to some. But I was happy to take a little bag with hairspray and conditioner inside.

Lipgloss! At the Maybelline booth, I scored an awesome sheer pink lipgloss, but felt too greedy to go back for mascara. The poor girl guarding the stash was getting mobbed. Over mascara. Chill, people.
