Everyone knows that one of the great things about Fashion Week is the loot. Goody bags contain everything from beauty products to scarves to condoms; but, sadly, they’re often reserved for the privileged front-row guests. Shockingly, sometimes these bags are left behind. Enter the Vulture. She is a special character who waits on the edge of her seat for the show to end and then swoops in to scavenge for the leftover treats.
At the Douglas Hannant show, the Vulture was right on cue. The minute the stage lights went down, she was up and digging. Hopping from bag to bag, she removed the lipgloss and body scrub and stuffed them into her much larger bag. What’s more, a security guard believed her to be a staffer and offered a hand! She said nothing and picked up the pace. All told, she absconded with the swag of more than 15 bags.
Next day, the Vulture was spotted in the Office Max lounge. Her bag was so full with swag that she couldn’t help hitting people with it as she passed to take a handful of cookies. When she left, she had acquired two new notepads and several pens. Those will make a pretty penny or two on eBay!
