See, usually i would say “oh yeah , cause parties like this TOOOOOOTALY exist…okay, brah.” but this one does. Its called TRASH, and everyone does get naked.

As Keaton says, yes this party exists.  Also, again, spot me at 2:05.  I don’t get naked though, sorry folks.

Adventures at Cure Thrift Shop: Inspired by Rachel Zoe’s Wardrobe Essentials

Rachel Zoe posted her January “Not so Basic” Wardrobe Essentials, which inspired us to go through our own racks to find the pieces on her list. Check out Rachel’s post  and see how we did!

No matter what your wardrobe essentials are, find them at Cure Thrift Shop and help the Diabetes Research Institute and the search for a cure!

Music: Redlight- Ghosts on Fire

It’s all about wardrobe essentials… and the moonwalk.  (Don’t mind my lack of makeup. Bleh)

Getting my Glitter Back- (Part I)

Okay, so people keep asking what getting my glitter back even means.  It basically means regaining some of the social life that I lost in the latter part of 2009.

And so I kick off my quest with this video at Terry & Igor’s new party, CIRCA, at Darkroom… and of course at the NC-17 party at Lit.

Let’s do a little video roll call:

Luna, Eric Strauss, Melanie, Igor, Prince Terrence, DJ Jess, Dan Baxter, Ryan (Lit), Cherry Tavern Jess

(if I forgot anyone that wants to be linked, let me know)

p.s. I know what the Hindenburg is

Ok now watch it!

Bringing Jacob’s GVPOYW: Gratuitous Video-Portrait of Yourself Wednesday back.

He’s also the one person who manages to make me shy in front of a camera.  It’s ridiculous.

p.s. Jacob you can have one too.

What I’m pretty sure is Bianca’s IFC debut on Dinner With the Band!  If you get IFC, the show premiers on November 24th.

Yay! I love this show because I love food, bands, and Sam Mason.  1:59, thank you very much. ;) I would have been dancing a lot harder were I not afraid of falling down the spiral staircase right next to me.

This didn’t make it into the video we posted, but I still really like it.

A holy sweater, Stone Cold Steve Austin, crazy patterns, and a different way to wear skirts and scarves…
I guess when it comes to dressing ourselves we get pretty creative.

…skip to 1:04 for me ;)

Adventures at Cure Thrift Shop: Fashion’s Night Out with Market Publique

We participated in Market Publique’s Pop-up shop for Fashion’s Night Out. Watch it all, from set up to party, with MP Co-Founder Pamela Castillo. Vintage fashions, champagne, and cupcakes… what could be better?!

Music: Lightning Sparks- Bearbot Mix

“Too much champagne! Okay… Start Over.”

You know a shopping event goes well when you walk in to work it wearing one outfit and walk out wearing another.  But hey… I helped Pamela set up the space all day and exhausted myself with all the socializing. I say the new outfit, three cupcakes, and champagne were well deserved.

Semi Precious Weapons at Tribeca Grand 7/18

Death + Taxes party at Siren Fest and Semi Precious Weapons show at Tribeca Grand

Worth the watch just to see Jacob being picked up spun around, and dropped outside of Tribeca Grand by Alex English.  Also… I have no idea why Tom was talking about subatomic particles and teleportation.

People in this video other than me and Jacob:

Naeem (Spankrock) and Terry (Prince Terrence) on stage, Antikris, Juan, some guy who’s glasses I wore, Lucy & Todd, Zoe, Natasha & her guy (I forget his name), Justin (Semi Precious Weapons), Stevy (SPW), Jeff (The Culture of Me), Tom (GBH), Alex English (DJ), Brant (@ Lit)

I meant to post this BEFORE the party.   Then I had to GO to the party so I didn’t get a chance.

In the spirit of Weardrobe (who the party was featuring)… an account of my outfit for the night.

• Jacob’s DARE t-shirt
• Delhpine Murat warrior leggings
• Puma knee high canvas boots
• vintage snake necklace
• tri-fecta necklace (with charms from Justin from Semi Precious Weapons, Lit Owner, my friend Matt Caps, and Jacob)

Anyway, thanks to everyone that came! Thanks to Sauvage Studio, Weardrobe, Market Publique, and Gui.  Had an awesome time y’all.

(p.s. Sara Zucker ur the best)

I ran into Dan Baxter at Elevator Fight/The Roots @ Highline Ballroom last night, who informed me that the video he did at the Young Love show @ Webster hall was up on vimeo.  He was going to send me the link, but I have no patience so I looked for it myself. :)

And here it is.  Young Love’s single ‘Black Boots’ over live clips from the show.  There’s a flash of a second that I’m in from the quick backstage shot (at 0:05 drinking a beer behind Dan Keyes and Rachel).  It’s seriously a quick flash… but I wouldn’t ever miss an opportunity to point myself out in something. Duh.

(also keeping in the same theme of YL and running into people… I ran into Dan and Erik from the band this morning outside of Lit.  Which was so random to see them there at 10 AM.  Something about a shoot of some sort?)
