That whole going-to-New-York-to-get-DISCOVERED thing doesn't happen anymore ... unless you're Alicia Solo. The Beautiful Bodies frontgal went to New York on a whim last year and ended up adding her vocals to a Joan Jett/Gary Glitter cover of "Do You Want To Touch Me" by singer/songwriter and producer Brad Walsh.
Walsh's boyfriend, past Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, used the song to open his spring runway show last September. Which is how Solo snagged herself an invite backstage at Fashion Week just a couple days ago, taking pictures and sipping cocktails with the likes of Walsh and actor Alan Cumming.
"I ended up filming the Christian Siriano
show and all of backstage. Fun fun!" Solo tells me via Facebook. Other celebrity sightings: Amber Rose,
Mena Suvari, Kat DeLuna, CariDee English, Kristen Johnston and Audrey
Kitching.

Thanks for the corrections Sarah (it's kind of confusing in this link, because both song titles are listed:

Last I checked, the term "snagged" had no shady implications. Definitely didn't intend for it to sound that way.
I'm going to write a song in honor of Sarah's comment. It'll be called "Touchy Touchy Touchy!"
she sang on a new song called "touch me," not a joan jett cover. it's pretty clear on his website... and amazon... and itunes... if you just looked. and i'm pretty sure alicia and brad and christian are all very good friends, she didn't "snag" herself anything. i'm friends with them all, she was invited. and the "backstage madness" photo looks to me like the front row of the show, not backstage.
