Sweetie-Dahling: Don't Take Away Our Wine!

(NEW YORK) Day 16: The Daily's nutritionist, Marissa Lippert, will indulge our red grape and swiss cheese habit in moderation, but the pinot grigio has got to go. To help us achieve jutting hip-bones, she will allow only two glasses a night, chased with sensible seltzer water, and not on school nights. Sigh. We were hoping to build our Fashion Week stamina from all angles, and the not-so occasional indulgence seems to be integral to our fashion persona. One never hears about hauterflies swirling around while sipping seltzer water. Still, sample sizes beckon.

We could trade our alcohol for caffeine, but that seems to be contraband as well. Don't the Beautiful People get to have any fun?

In pursuit of excellence, as ever, we have developed some mantra-like replies to offers of another glass of wine.

1) "No sweetie. Rodney Yee says it affects my chakras."

2) "I would, but I have to have full mental clarity to absorb the fact that Paris and The Greek might be hitting a rough patch."

3) "Oh, okay. Don't you know that all the best fashion tips come from rehab?"
