The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network aka GLSEN is teaming up with Elle magazine to bring their anti-bullying message to New York Fashion Week.

The GLSEN Lounge will be open on Feb 12-13 and is designed to raise awareness for GLSEN's upcoming National Day of Silence taking place on April 20, 2012. Students across the country will take a vow of silence to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools.

Fashion designers participating in Fashion Week have come together to sketch their interpretation of GLSEN's Day of Silence and will be on display for public viewing at the GLSEN Fashion lounge.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to sketch a message or design in support of the national student event.

What an amazing event and powerful message!

After suffering what was described as her "toughest week yet", Lauren Scruggs was on the up and up this week.

According to her mom Lauren's physical pain has subsided and she got fitted for her prosthetic eye.

Cheryl Scruggs wrote on Thursday morning:

Last Saturday was a big day. Bittersweett.

Jeff, myself, Lo and Britt showed up at 9am at the ocularist. We didn't know what to expect, other than it would be an all day process from 9am -5pm. Another new step….. the time had come for Lo to be fitted for her prosthetic eye.

So we proceeded through the day, one step at a time. All four of us would go into the room, and go through another step. Sometimes we waited in the waiting room for a while, other times we could leave for a while to walk around, or go to lunch.

She was fitted and measured. The ocularist carefully painted and shaped the new eye. By 5pm, it was done, and her new eye was in place. It is beautiful.

It's wonderful to hear Lauren's pain is minimal, but Cheryl added it's "the emotional pain that is the tough one".
