What is a VIP welcome? During fashion week - I doubt I will be anything like a VIP in this hotel. Of course - I could always tell the staff that I am a senior petite plus-size model .

When we were in Berlin last year - the Red Carpet (real red carpet at the front of the hotel) was out at the RC for a lot of our stay. And there were dozens of policemen. Of course - none of this was for us - it was for people attending the G8 conference - including Condoleezza Rice (who was staying at the hotel). Robyn
