Last night, after a long day, I finally decided to call it a night when I got a tweet from my partner-in-crime. What was it in reference to??? It was a response to Duran’s tweet about Fashion Rocks. This, of course, led to a series of tweets and emails processing, discussing, reacting. What the heck am I talking about?
Well, according to the press release on dd.com, which you can read here, Fashion Rocks is returning! Fashion Rocks isn’t new for Duran as they performed in 2003 and 2005. For those who need a refresher, this show is to showcase the relationship between fashion and music. Typically, a fashion designer shows one’s work while a band or musical artist performs. Duran will be one of many to perform this year. This event will take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and will be televised for those of us who are unable to attend in person on September 9th. Now, if you are lucky enough to go, tickets go on sale August 1st, according to the press release.
I’m not going to lie. In response to this tweet, the very first thing I did was check the date and the location. Was there any way I could get there?! The answer, unfortunately, is no. It is in the middle of the week and in New York. What does this tell me, though? I am missing that band like crazy! I can’t deny it or pretend that I’m not. I totally am. I had a sense when I was searching like mad for any and all footage from the White Nights Festival. I had an even bigger sense when I began unpacking all of my Duran belongings in my new place. Each box, each item reminded me of how much I love them, how much I have loved being a fan. Yet, this news and the exchange of messages with Rhonda really solidified it for me. I miss them terribly and I cannot wait to see them on Fashion Rocks. More importantly, I can’t wait to hear that album and to see them live once again!!! Please, tell me that I’m not the only one…Please!! I’m not alone, am I???? The rest of you are missing them, too, right?!?!??
Maybe, watching their performances from past Fashion Rocks will help me get through the wait!

Sorry, but weren’t the 2003 and 2005 shows (with Andy, ahem….., this is the first one with Dom, right?) they held in London?
Is it the first time (with Dom) in the States?
To any of you, go and enjoy. ‘Coz DD … rocks!
Both previous Fashion Rocks performances were with Andy. -A
