D.A.N.C.E.
Oh my, tomorrow is shaping up to be amazing.
First, I am having a party at my place. I am not actually hosting the party, but why shouldn't I partake in the festivities? That starts at 9 or so.
Then, there is the 5th Annual International Photography Awards Ceremony (www.lucieawards.com).
My friend's sister is the bouncer, so there should be no problem in getting in. There's an open bar and, as my friend Hana so succinctly put it: "Dress to impress and show yo fine selves at Splashlight Studios, decked and ready to get your crunk on with some of the world's finest contemporary photographers."
I'm so down.
Also, there's:
Event description: "Vogue Magazine calls House of Diehl 'Punk meets Warhol'... Michael Musto calls Style Battling 'the newest variation on krumping'
We'll be having 8 competing designers battling on stage for the title of New York Style Battle Champion.
Inspired by MC battling, and Victor & Rolf/Martin-Margiela radical fashion and bastard pop mash-up DJs, Style Battling is a head to head competition with fashion created live on stage, in a matter of minutes, using anything from a pair of jeans to an umbrella to a balenciaga bag. Competitors cut, tear, burn, spray-paint, and otherwise destroy/rebuild clothing, live on models or on people pulled from the audience.
House of Diehl have been all over the world, from supporting Sonic Youth in Europe, to performing to tens of thousands of people alongside Elton John and Versace at the Life Ball in Vienna, to shows at New York's fashion week... They are used to seeing thousands of jaws drop - and stay dropped!"
If you are a person pulled from the audience, you get to keep the clothes. They give away at least $40,000 worth of couture at every Style Battle.
I'm so down.
AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT...I'm going to the Continental. And, with that line-up of aforementioned events, I am going to try to look hot.
EXCITEMENT IS BREWING.
