After two energetic dance performances No Doubt drummer Adrian Young provided percussive sounds to introduce the Brit rock style of Ben Sherman.

Then, the audience caught their breath during a more subdued segment of fashion featuring looks from Calvin Klein...
It was very sci-fi-esque as all the models glided on the runway in the minimalist aesthetic of CK...which ended with this gorgeous gown in yellow - autumnal color du jour...
Oh wait, a CK show wouldn't be complete without some underwear...
The hyper-energy invaded the runway again with a Levi's portion that featured New York-esque looks with more dancers and urban hipster looks...
I swear, one of those dancers simulating a subway ride in some funky pants looked like a contestant from "Step it Up and Dance." See - I told you that I watch a lot of dance reality TV.
After we enjoyed looks imported from SoHo and the Lower East Side, sultry INC fashions were introduced with Latin dance club delight via choreography by Alex Da Silva - again, another choreographer from a dance reality show - So You Think You Can Dance.
Wow. He was just flailing that girl around like no one's business.
Then this happened:
And then this:
After Cheer SF sprites basket-tossed on the runway, the furry mascots that accompanied them stripped down to reveal to-good-to-be-true-six-pack male models in 2xist underwear. Yeah - it was kind of like a racy locker room scene in one of those movies suitable for an exclusive audience. In other words, it was like a gay porn.
After these male models bared skin on the runway, Marilyn Monroe came out to introduce the "Hardywood" segment. Actually, it wasn't Marilyn - it was Merilee Brasch, an uncanny impersonator of the starlet.
From there, skulls, hoodies, bedazzled minis and roses rocked down the runway with the SoCal styles of Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier.
Does anyone else recognize the model in the picture above? It's Martinique from Project Runway season one!
Anyways, the event, full of fashion, music, dancing and fun, was a success - I can't wait till next year!
Christian Audigier closes this year's Macy's Passport event.
