Narciso Rodriguez staged a fashion show in the film ‘The Women,’ which opens this weekend, but he’s been fairly low-pro when it comes to promoting the remake, starring Eva Mendes, Meg Ryan and Annette Bening among a bevy of other beauties.

None of them was in the audience at his real-life fashion show Tuesday night, but the film’s director Diane English was in attendance. She said she’d been getting a lot of questions about Sarah Palin‘s teenage daughter being pregnant, because of the single mom storyline in her TV show ‘Murphy Brown,’ and the outrage it sparked among the GOP, specifically Dan Quayle, VP at the time.

‘I’m very piquant about it,’ she said. ‘She and her family are posing for the cover of US Weekly, so I figure they are fair game. I just wish I still had my show.’

Oh, the fun she could have.
