Forgive my need to include every single word of this story, but its just so delicious.. Even if it is about a person I've never heard before.
From DailyNews:
Glamorous model Tatyana Simanava nearly became a tragic fashion victim yesterday - stepping off the runway of a moving bus and tumbling out the door onto the Gowanus Expressway. The Russian stunner hit the pavement at 40 mph, smashing her arm, dislocating a shoulder, cutting her face and head - but somehow surviving the plunge.The statuesque blond beauty, who has been featured in ads for Garnier, Longchamp jewelry and David's Bridal, only narrowly missed being hit by traffic or crushed by the bus itself, cops said.
"She's lucky she wasn't killed," said a police source. "She could have easily gotten run over."
The 21-year-old model had been traveling to a Staten Island photo shoot with other members of international agency Next Models, cops said.
She somehow got disoriented after stepping into a passageway outside the bathroom of the luxury bus.
"There was a door leading back inside the bus to her left, and one leading out of the bus to her right," said a traffic cop at the scene.
"I guess she got disoriented."
The bus, owned by Hoboken-based On Time Elite, is designed to be used as living space for models and movie stars on shoots.
In place of rows of seats, the bus is fitted with changing rooms, a kitchen and an open living area - to where Simanava was trying to return.
Instead, she plunged out a door on the driver's side of the bus, narrowly avoiding being struck by the rear wheels of the vehicle.
If she had used the correct door, Simanava would have returned to the living area, where the other models were seated. Instead, she fell through the door by the bathroom
On-Time Elite founder Linda Safir said yesterday, "Our hopes and our prayers are with this young woman and we are hoping that she is okay."

I guess she was doing something that leads to disorientation in that bathroom, eh?
