Baby Harper is probably the only newborn to ever have a fashion sense by showing up for Fashion Week with her mom Victoria Beckham. This was her newborn’s first fashion week ever, and she is starting her off early. Dressed in some of the most expensive designer wear, baby Harper is set to take the runway with surprise. The former Spice Girl, and her little Harper Seven, that is just shy of being two months old, was seen in NYC right before Fashion’s Night Out, the first and most official kick off to the start of NY Fashion Week. ExploreTalent.com is an online auditions and jobs website for performers and a casting calls and auditions.

Posh looked absolutely stunning in her magenta dress, paired with suede Christian Louboutin heels that were beautiful to say the least. Harper shown bright in her plaid dress and grey socks. No red soles on her yet, but she is still rocking that baby fashion for the show.  Explore Talent has set out to make it quick and simple for all the aspiring talent out there to find more talented people.

Victoria is in town to show off her new collection at the end of the Fashion Week at the NY Public Library. She is excited, and did not want to leave little Harper at home. She cannot bear to be apart from her, but what mummy can? When you’re gone all the time, than you want to make sure that you bring them with you if you can. ExploreTalent assists talented actors, singers, dancers, and some others

This time, Victoria did just that, and Harper seems to be the most content little girl out there. She sits in her mums lap and takes in everything and doesn’t make a sound. With her wide eyes staring at all the latest fashion, she is definitely soaking up the design and collection world right before our eyes before she can even walk. This is something that we looked into. She was very cooperative during the entire process and they made sure to make their rounds where everyone that attended could not resist meeting little Harper. She was the smallest attendee there, and the one with the most attention overall, even more than the models that were wearing the outfits on the runway. This might be a good thing for Harper and her mom Victoria, but a bad one for the designers trying to show their new fashions.

There are pictures out there of the two during Fashion Week if you want to take a glimpse at this cutie, and perhaps the wardrobe her stunning mom is donning. This will give you an idea of just how fashion oriented the family is; Harper’s mom is a fashion star after all. This is something to keep in mind when the time comes, and you want to make sure that you take a peek into the wonderful world of the stars and perhaps envision what it would be like to be one of them in the fashion industry or perhaps just a star overall. You end up knowing what is in, and what is not and perhaps where to shop for the best items. What would you do if you were a star?

Chris Abraham learns this from Taegan Goddard’s Political Wire, which cites Henry Copeland:

the median political blog reader is a 43 year old man with an annual family income of $80,000. He reads 6 blogs a day for 10 hours a week.

Even if you’re neither 43 years old nor a man, thank you for making Extreme Mortman one of the six blogs a day you read.  10 hours a week — that’s all we ask.

Now, the next installment in Extreme Mortman’s regular feature: a peek inside the blog-reading habits of our nation’s top reporters and media celebrities. John Harwood is national political editor for the Wall Street Journal. He writes the paper’s regular political column Washington Wire. And he’s a smart, big-time TV commentator, offering political analysis on television programs including Meet the Press and Washington Week with Gwen Ifil and National Journal.

And now, John Harwood — here’s what he tells Extreme Mortman he reads:
My favorite and most frequent destination is realclearpolitics.com, which has a great collection of current polling data and links to smart commentators. I like Marshall Wittmann’s blog, bullmoose.blogger.blogspot.com. I tend to visit blogs not at a set time but rather because I’ve heard of something especially there or I want to sample activist reaction to a specific political development. Those include redstate, instapundit, huffingtonpost and dailykos.

Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds gave a fascinating interview to C-SPAN’s Brian Lamb about the blogosphere. Here’s the whole transcript.

Glenn offered lots of important information and tidbits. I found this exchange about the number of blogs to be particularly insightful:

LAMB: Is that 27 million around the world?

REYNOLDS: Yes, yes, and they are not all English language. There are a lot of Chinese blogs, a lot of Farsi-language blogs, which the Iranian mullahs don’t like very much. But they don’t seem to be able to stamp it out.

Tracking Persian-language blogs might be the next frontier for American foreign policy and public diplomacy. Cheers to Instapundit for identifying it.

Now, the next installment in Extreme Mortman’s regular feature: a peek inside the blog-reading habits of our nation’s top reporters and media celebrities. And hoooo boy, when you talk media celebrity, no one quite fits that description like Jake Tapper. The skyrocketing star of this lovely and talented ABC News Correspondent refuses to end. And attention fellow bloggers — he’s one of us. He’s got his own groovy blog now, and in the old days he wrote for salon.com. So stick with your craft. Some day soon you too might contribute regularly to “Good Morning America,” “Nightline,” “World News Tonight,” and “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”

And now, Jake Tapper — here’s what he tells Extreme Mortman he reads:
As a base tan, I start my day on the websites of MSM….ABCNews.com, the New York Times, the Washington Post, etc. Good preparation for general topics the blogs will be discussing. Also, of course, Drudge.

I see what folks have posted to my blog at abc (I have some very feisty post-ers), and see what my fellow-blogging ABC colleagues have posted…whether Jim Sciutto, Ned Potter, Manny Medrano or others….

Then it’s into the blogosphere.

Dive!! Dive!!

I tend to first check out Andrewsullivan.com and Kausfiles.com….I blog, therefore I am. Pals Andrew and Mickey, an iconoclastic conservative and an angst-filled Democrat, who seldom fail to have interesting links and thoughts as they deal with issues they have about their respective right/left “sides.” (Though I wish Mickey would post a bit more. And not so much about cars.)

In no particular order, I click on various favorites from the opinion or partisan field….

ATTEN-HUT!!!

RIGHT! I see what opinionjournal.com has come up with…instapundit… .littlegreenfootballs… .hugh hewitt… .National Review’s “The Corner”… .The Volokh Conspiracy (I put Prof Volokh on TV once, for his thoughts on abortion and the Constitution, which I’d first read on his blog)

LEFT! It’s TalkingPointsMemo… DailyKos… The Huffington Post… jameswolcott.com (interviewed Wolcott for a show on ABC News Now about his book “Attack Poodles”)… and the American Prospect’s “Tapped.”

Also check out the biz blogs — mediabistro.com and fishbowldc…..

Michael Yon is an embedded blogger whom I met through a Fred Friendly seminar I recently moderated on the media in a time of war. Fascinating stuff from the frontlines.

Met Craig Newmark (aka Craig from Craigslist) through a Nightline profile I did of him and I sometimes check his site out, too, though again — a too infrequent poster, IMHO.

There are a ton of others I peruse less regularly, including Powerline, Lileks, the post-Cox Wonkette, Michelle Malkin, et al.

The vitriol out there tends not to bother me too much, but it does often bore me. I seek new information, unique takes on things.

Gawker. Defamer.

When I was covernig the Terri Schiavo case I checked out the “How Appealing” blog several times a day. Ditto for SCOTUSblog when I’m checking out Supreme Court stuff.

They make up an ideological bouillabaisse, these blogs, and I indulge.
