Fashion Month always lingers in my mind far past September. The gorgeous gowns, unforgettable makeup, and of course the outrageous and hilarious moments that crop up amongst all the day-to-day action.

No Shock Here
To be unforgettable, you have to be willing to push boundaries (here's looking at you, Tyra), which is why Fashion Week always draws some form of protesters. This year, PETA members (because, who else?) dressed in nothing but thongs, heels and python body paint, stole the show outside of NYC's Lincoln Center. Their beef: that designers using snakeskin are more cold-blooded than the reptiles themselves. Not to be outdone, butt-naked people covered themselves in body paint outside Donna Karan's show, too. Were they actually protesting something? And these topless Femen activists turned the catwalk into a catfight when they stormed the runway at Nina Ricci in Paris. We're guessing that made for an awkward security detail. We're beginning to think that protestors are really just exhibitionists in disguise.

Fashion Goes Pint-Size
David Beckham's daughter Harper Beckham gave Alexander Wang's niece a run for Cutest Fashion Week Toddler. She even seemed to melt Vogue editor Anna Wintour's heart during mommy Victoria's show. Who knew Prada-wearing devils had a soft spot for babies?

And in Less Cute News ...
Justin Beiber sat front row at the Y-3 show at New York Fashion Week sporting his signature side-swept bangs from the beginning of his career. But in an apparent attempt to add some maturity, he also grew this "mustache" (if you can even call it that). Y-3 designer Yohji Yamamoto seemed unfazed by the feeble facial hair as he chatted and fist-bumped with Beiber, but I'm calling it a creepy fashion faux pas. Selena, you got out just in the nick of time.

Is It Weird That I Want One of These?
At the Givenchy show at Paris Fashion Week, makeup artist Pat McGrath proved her love for all things sparkly isn't going anywhere. The intricate face masks were made out of Swarovski crystals, sequins and netting, and took 12 hours and over 40 sets of hands to apply. Is it just me, or does a swarm of 40 assistants manhandling your face for 12 hours sound like one of Dante's circles of hell? Still, after a month full of slicked-back hair and those perfect "natural" makeup looks, isn't it nice to see something with a little more pizazz?
