My friend and neighbor Nico* is channeling Morrisey today almost all the time. Street Style! On Ludlow and Stanton outside the tattoo shop and on our way to Pianos.

Head Automatica at the Cubic Zirconia F*ck Work Release (Santos Party House) 7/2
How could I almost forget?!?! At Webster Hall with Adam Freeland.
Info on GBH.tv ($1 drinks and $1 admission till midnight when you RSVP)
I meannn…. the last time I saw Peter Hook DJ I think I almost died. ”Do you like New Order?” used to be the pick up line I got most from guys.
(and of course in the Studio is Trash!… and Nico is hosting)
Cubic Zirconia F*ck Work Release -Santos
CUBIC ZIRCONIA Record Release at Santos Party House 7/2
This by far has to be one of the best shows I’ve been to in a really long time. And we all know that I go to a LOT of shows.
Chico Mann opened up and set the good vibes, followed by an AMAZING set by Head Automatica, then of course Cubic Zirconia… playing well after 1 AM. It was a mix of the energetic crowd (filled with their fans and our friends), Tiombe’s awesome outfit, all the fun that the band was having on stage, and Jacob actually dancing that made it all so perfect. I don’t think I stopped smiling or bouncing around like I was the most excited girl in the world.
SRSLY. GREAT show. Also… FOLLOW THEM ON TUMBLR. :)
(p.s. Nick you look like Jesus when that light hits you on stage, illuminating your face)
“This is probably the closest I’ll ever get to seeing a show at CBGB.”- Jacob on the Calypso show at the CBGB turned John Varvatos last night
Well… in case you missed out on the old venue like J, go ahead and take a virtual tour. It’s actually pretty badass.

The very stylish and fun crowd.

John Varvatos and 315 Bowery present Thursday Nite Live featuring CALYPSO!
Models, hipsters, and rockers abound… this show was amazing. Looks like John Varvatos is really trying to keep the music alive at the former CBGB space, with their new monthly event Thursday Nite Live (first Thursday of every month).
I was really excited to see Calypso play… and of course the open bar on Basil Hayden Whiskey and the free admission didn’t hurt. It was fun walking through the space, reminiscing, running into friends, drinking, dancing, and listening to great live music.
Post show, everyone headed over to Bowery Electric to afterparty it up. Jacob and I, however, had a different agenda. After the show… was another show (the CZ Release at Santos).
I saw this photo and thought that the necklaces looked like Alexis Bittar. So of course I strained my eyes to check the fashion credits to see if I was right… and I was! :)
One of the girls at the Soho store had put one on when I was in the other day, and it looked incredible. Up close there are actually cherry blossoms painted on the blue lucite, with each stone named after a member of the royal family.
Check it.

Marilyn Monroe Strauss made note of the fact that the way I live my life and the things that I do has never been driven by money. I just like to help people, connect them, make people smile, and have a good time doing it. I’d like to think that it’s all going pay off at some point. |

A remix toast: In honor today and to tonight’s adventures.
The Summer 09 “Grass Stain Green” Field Notes would look amazing tucked in my pink day planner. Too bad they’re SOLD OUT. :( I’ll have to find another cute little green notebook to scribble in.
Yes, I use a day planner. I like writing things down. There’s something about touching a pen to paper, flipping pages, checking things off, and crossing things out that makes me very happy.
Want to hear Felicia break it down about this music video? Well then mosey on over HERE.

Gaultier, dress forms, clothing racks, pink, the dancers wearing outfits similar to something I wore at the MAO mag launch 2 years ago, and a dancey beat…
Martin Solveig rocks my world with this video.
JULY 2nd: SHOW CIRCUIT
John Varvatos and 315 Bowery present Thursday Nite Live featuring CALYPSO! (8p-11p)
I’m really excited about this one for the following reasons:
- looking forward to hearing Phil’s band live
- a show at the former CBGB’s?!?!
It’s good to be able to go to the old space to see a band, drink, and party like the old days… ok so maybe it’s not EXACTLY like the old days… but I’m SO not complaining about the fact that fashion has actually entered the mix. I salute John Varvatos.
