Who Was That Blonde With The Funny Accent?

Introducing Brandusa Niro - the blonde of a certain age who was a special guest at fashion week and the editor of the IMG publication The Daily Mini - which is printed in New York. `Brandi’ who had a great Eastern European kinda accent swept in and out for a couple of days and saw all the Sydney hot spots including dinner at Icebergs yada yada yada.. No word yet on whether she did Bridge Climb. There was a lunchtime party for her in the Motorola Fashion Week lounge with baby mugs of parsnip soup and Oz piccolos - but the whole thing was puzzling …Brandi was just not your average New York style fashionista ..even allowing for the accent, she had none of the chat and she wasn’t covered in logos. She would have been instantly rejected for that international fashion gun role by Central Casting. So what was she really about? And why was she constantly surrounded by so many nervous MAFW staffers including Simon Lock? And what’s with that mini daily mag - that is only published once during the week? I left before the speeches and a second mini mug of soup..But if anyone out there `got her’, please explain? Post me ros@rosreinesgossip.com.
