Robyn Peterson’s Catwalk
There is quite a bit of buzz about a one woman show that opened on May 15th called Catwalk. It’s the true story of a former model as told by the woman herself.
Robyn Peterson’s account of the precocious rise of a 16 year old model to the runways of high fashion and Parisian couture of the `70’s, working with such design icons as Yves St. Laurent, Charles Jourdan, Karl Lagerfeld, and photographer Helmut Newton, has now been adapted for the stage and receives its world premiere production this May/June at Sidewalk Studio Theatre, immediately afterward transferring to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival courtesy of SST Productions.
The production runs until June 20th on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm with one Sunday matinee on June 7th at 2pm. Reserve tickets by calling (818) 558-5702 or go here.

This could be the perfect bookend to the documentary "Valentino, The Last Emperor," which I saw last weekend and highly recommend. LA isn’t exactly a fashion town– or rather it’s a pathetic fashion town, so tales from cities where it’s done properly is refreshing.
Oops,I meant "are refreshing." Don’t tell the grammar police.
The funny thing is I’m so damn tired I thought English was simply no longer making sense.
