Cheap Chick Weekend Picks (Feb. 20-22, 2009)

Friday February 20th, 2009
Fashion Week is winding up but you can still catch some of the "fierce" fashion excitement of the runway. (Bonus points if you get the Project Runway reference ;-)

amNewYork's Reality Runway Show
7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Come see your favorite D-list (and who are we kidding, E and F-list) celebs from shows such as America's Next Top Model, The Real World, and 8th & Ocean at the newspaper's fashion show. After gawking at the "models" and making sure they don't trip on the runway, you can buy the clothing off the model's back and win a date with one of the models at a silent auction. All proceeds benefit Reality Cares and Dress for Success.
