Joan Rivers stood up from her seat in between tapings of Fashion Police during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York and looked over at the crowd beneath her at Lincoln Center. She was taking in the moment. Both arms perched on the railing. I was looking up. Suddenly, our eyes locked. I was looking at her and she at me. Joan smiled, as did I and then she walked away. That's the closest I've come to meeting Joan Rivers. I've been a fan since the days she used to joke about being "so ugly at birth, her doctor slapped her mother." That's a long time ago. I'm a huge fan and will miss Joan Rivers tremendously. My heart goes out to her daughter Melissa, her family and E! News friends.

My producer calls her a "special correspondent" and I call her a "roving socialite." But really,

Emily Chandler Westergreen

is my own little "Gossip Girl." I can't reveal her sources, but lets just say Emily has the celebrity hook up at

NYFW

, which

Style Mag VM

love. Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton... okay okay, some of these are trainwrecks... but there's also Sarah Jessica Parker, Liv Tyler, Rachel Zoe and Kelly Osbourne... Emily has met and chatted with all of them either on the runway, inside the tents or at the

Empire Hotel

. And always comes away with with fun, little stories to share.

How did Emily and I meet?

At a fashion event, of course! We both attended last year's

Jeffrey Fashion Cares

. At the after party, I was walking over to say hello to designer Joseph Altuzarra and Emily was coming towards me with a big smile. She said hello, but what made me fall in love with her was when she told me that fashionado was her favorite blog! XOXOX

Last season, we rendezvoused at Lincoln Center and had a very fabulous NYFW experience. Emily was my guest for Style Mag VM's BlogTalkRadio fashion week "wrap-up" and will be joining me again in February. This time we are producing a Special Edition DVD and have launched the project on Indiegogo. *WE need
