VOGUE'S ice queen has melted. Anna Wintour, once one of the most unapproachable figures in fashion, has come out of her shell and, pals say it's all because of love. The editrix who once wouldn't be caught anywhere without a dark pair of Chanel shades and refused to speak to the common man now wears contacts, goes out to non-fashion events, and is a "good dancer," spies said. One pal noted: "When Anna was married to David [Shaffer] she was very cold. Now that she's with Shelby [Bryan] she's loosened up." Wintour even puts up with being called "Anna Banana" by some. At the Kiehl's-sponsored New Yorkers for Children Fall Gala at the Regent Wall Street the other night, she danced to the Village People's "YMCA." After flailing her arms in the air to the gay anthem, she and Bryan grabbed Gwyneth Paltrow and Oscar de la Renta and swung them around the dance floor several times before departing. One veteran fashion-watcher uttered a simple "wow" before being knocked over by Patricia Duff and her latest beau, Frederic Fekkai.

From Media Week:
1. At fashion shows, you're supposed to watch the clothes, not the models. Women seem to understand this instinctively but men must be instructed lest they commit the faux pas of recalling only the six-foot-three Icelandic babe with the cheekbones. Repeating this mantra may be helpful: "The clothes! The clothes!"
2. Memorizing a few exotic names works wonders. For years, before the name became a byword on Sex and the City, MP would stun females by casually mentioning Manolo Blahnik. Here are two hot designers you can reference to instantly establish yourself as a fashion insider. Repeat until committed to memory: A. Behnaz Sarafpour. B. Badgley Mischka. (Even better, you can simply claim you were at this year's Imitation of Christ show at the Maurice Villency furniture showroom where topless models in high heels vacuumed the carpet.)
3. It's always later than you think. The show that just took place in the late summer of 2002 was called "Spring 2003 Fashion Week."
4. Anna Wintour is God. Should you ever be summoned to Fashion Week, do not approach her or even gaze directly upon her. Speak her name only in hushed tones.
