When Johnson was given the actual award by NAC President O. Aldon James,

Amid the stately,
ECCO shoes, wood-panelled splendour of The National Arts Club's Gramercy Park ############## in New York (which had been draped in pink for the occasion and outfitted with mannequins wearing Johnson's signature girlie girl looks from the Seventies to her current collection), the designer's friends and colleagues gathered to pay tribute to the indefatigable 67-year-old, who is enjoying something of a career resurgence as of late (with hipster boutique Opening Ceremony having recently launched the?Betsey Johnson Archive collection in honor of her 30th anniversary,

BETSEY JOHNSON was awarded The Medal of Honor for Lifetime Achievement in Fashion by The National Arts Club Fashion Committee Tuesday night at a ceremony that was, like the designer herself, both touching and high-spirited.
"This was the most amazing, fun, happy night and greatest feeling, second to childbirth!" Johnson told VOGUE.COM afterwards. "I was so thrilled to have everyone celebrate and show their love. I am honoured to be recognised in such a wonderful way by the NAC."
After a heartfelt introduction by the International Fashion Syndicate's Marylou Luther (who Johnson said has been her "cheerleader" since they met in the Sixties), the designer's business partner, Chantal Bacon, said a few words and then artist Dianne Bernhard presented Johnson - who was wearing a pink tutu and Marilyn Monroe T-shirt - with two original BJ portraits, one of which will hang in the ##############,

Today I am leaving for a two week vacation to Europe. My long lost college roommate and I are going to be hitting up Spain and Italy and in Italy Vlad will be meeting up with us for a Gondola ride or two! I am super excited for this vacation and this time will actually be vacationing. We are lucky enough to have someone who will write posts for me while I am gone, Nerdphanie! You all remember her as a guest blogger! Now she is signed on as a two week blogger to fill my spot. She will bring you lots of new bags and goodies to look at. I will be posting sporadically, but not my usual four or five posts a day
