Nintendo DSi Lounge - Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2011

For this season of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, the Nintendo DSi Lounge was conveniently near Lincoln Center, at The Empire Hotel. I stopped by the lounge to relax for a bit and enjoy some beauty treatments in between shows.

It's always good to see Marie, owner and event director for Spa Chicks On-The-Go, providing massages and Minx manicures. Since I only had about an hour to spare, I got my makeup done by Temptu airbrush makeup and then got my hair curled by Rita Hazan Salon while sipping on champagne. Then I was all set to catch my next show - Tibi!

Nintendo DSi Suite During NY Fashion Week Fall 2010

Tuesday, February 16th was my last, long busy day filled with appointments and shows during fashion week. My first stop of the day was the Nintendo DSi suite at the Bryant Park Hotel. I got a sneak peek and went through a demo of the Nintendo DSi XL system from Nintendo. I currently don't have a Nintendo DSi, but was hooked after playing the new Super Mario game. I could play that game for hours on end. There are a lot of new features and games for the new system, so I hope to share all the details once they are released.

To my surprise, I was happy to see Calvin Klein Underwear's newest model / Twilight star Kellan Lutz at the suite. I also spotted AnnaLynne McCord getting several spa treatments.

I decided I had enough time to get some treatments done myself, so I first got a makeover from Temptu, who used the Temptu air brush to apply foundation. I enjoyed getting a massage from Spa Chicks On-The-Go, who were also providing manicures and pedicures and then got my hair curled by Oscar Blondi.

I hope Nintendo comes back for Spring 2011 Fashion Week! So many of the lounges and suites were held at the Bryant Park Hotel. It will be interesting to see where everyone ends up as fashion week moves to Lincoln Center next season.
