Heidi Klum and the Williamsburg Bridge

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show returned to New York, which for me meant media stunts and backstage access to the show.

Marisa Miller, Heidi Klum and Alessandra Ambrosia hit Times Square to promote the show:

The day of the show, I got backstage access to the ladies' hair and make-up session. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Behati Prinsloo were getting prepped while I was there. And guess what -- those luscious locks aren't real:

And then a few days later I went wandering across the Williamsburg Bridge to the LES and SoHo:
