Things FNO Haters Can Do Next Year If They Don’t Want to Go to FNO

Plenty of retail stores and fashion heavyweights, like top curmudgeon Cathy Horyn, have pressed Wintour & co. to put an end to the recreational shopping event, but the Vogue editor does what she likes, naysayers be damned.

I’m personally a supporter of the insane designer collaborations and mob scenes (so much good material! and champagne.) but I think it’s perfectly acceptable to sit out next year’s FNO festivities. Unfortunately, most of us don’t matter enough for Anna Wintour to put a gun to our heads and chaperone us into department stores.

So if you hate Fashion’s Night Out, I’ve devised a handy little cheat sheet (below) with some alternative ways to spend your evening next September:

  • Watch a movie.
  • Read a book.
  • Ride a bike.
  • Visit your grandmother in Boston.
  • Go to Brooklyn and do anything you want.
  • DIY a glitter clutch.
  • Write a romance novel starring Anna Wintour and send it to me.
  • Read The Fashion Spot.
  • Play with your kitten.
  • Cook lasagna.
  • Organize your closet.
  • Deep-condition your hair.
  • Online shop.
  • Occupy Wall Street.
  • GChat.
  • Learn how to play the banjo.
  • Learn the Greek alphabet.
  • Do a crossword puzzle.
  • Play a bubblebreaker game.
  • Buy chalk and play hopscotch.
  • Find a new desktop background.
  • Download apps.
  • Figure out you and your crush’s astrological and numerological love compatibility.
  • Water a plant.
  • Plan your Halloween costume.
  • Watch whatever’s on Bravo or the Food Network.
  • Internet stalk your ex.
  • Call a friend.
  • Meet a friend and have dinner somewhere unfashionable.
  • Take a nap.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.
