We all know NY fashion week is upon us. And while invitations are hard to come by, New York Times' "The Moment" was invited to attend the "Project Runway" winner Christian Siriano's show, but they didn't want it and posted a tweet on Twitter.
"Going through mountains of New York fashion week invitations.
Just received Christian Siriano invite (2/19 6 p.m.). Who wants it?"

Meow.
So, Chritian's boyfriend, photographer Brad Walsh, fought back through his blog and posted this:
"That was kind of surprising, both because the New York Times already confirmed specific attendance before that message was even posted, and because… well, that’s really rude and a bit trashy coming from a source affiliated with the Times. I’m not a stranger to fashion week, and I know that there are plenty of “non-transferable” invitations to shows that are indeed ultimately transferred. But to go onto the internet and post an item asking “who wants it?” to a list of many thousands of Twitter followers? That’s really just unnecessary and annoying. The last thing this show needs is an army of random Twitterers thinking they have a chance getting in, or some sixteen year old having access to the RSVP info. Some of Christian’s young fans already found my phone number on the internet and call more often than is probably healthy, just on the chance that maybe they will get to hear him in the background.
As soon as I told Christian about it, he followed up with his people and soon The Moment posted: “I’m not going… So let me see if I can pass this off to one of you guys. —JP [Jonathan S. Paul, according to the website]” and then, minutes later, “Christian Siriano’s press person wasn’t into it. Sorry...Let you know if that changes. What NYFW invite do you guys want the most?”
Way to class it up, JP."
Tranny fierce or not?
