Miss Me?

Hey girls, boys and girly boys! It's been a hot minute since I've posted anything and I'm sorry. I'd like to blame it on being too busy, but that would be a lie. It's laziness and I need to cut that out! However, I have had some fun recently.

As you know, it was Fashion Week here in NYC a couple weeks back. One of my favorite nights of the year here in the city is FNO (Fashion's Night Out) and it was the fourth year doing this. Last year I did the Midtown thing and went to Barney's, Bloomingdales, Saks, Coach, etc. Met a few celebs, has some drinks. It's a good time. So this year, since I had to work until 7:30, I decided to stay local in SoHo. Arrojo Studio was hosting a party for fashion designer Alisha Trimble, so I had a drink at work and mingled a bit then headed over to Bloomingdales SoHo, where Dangerous Muse did a little performance. 

Met Mike Furey after he wrapped the performance and chatted for a bit. Aphrodite, a new makeup artist at the Studio, was my date. She had never been to FNO before, so despite it being a pretty low-key evening, we had a blast! What a doll.

This weekend was pretty fun as well. I went out with an old friend from when I worked at Saks. We went to XL Nightclub had a few drinks, danced and let our hair down.

When all of a sudden I hear a familiar voice behind me. It was Amanda Lepore! For those of you who don’t know who she is, Amanda Lepore is an American model, nightlife and fashion icon, performance artist, recording artist and transgender public figure. She has appeared in advertising for numerous companies, including M.A.C. Cosmetics, The Blonds, Swatch, CAMP Cosmetics, and Heatherette, which has used her likeness on clothing as well as hiring her as a model. Lepore is also noted as a regular subject in photographer David LaChapelle's work, serving as his muse, as well as many other photographers including Terry Richardson. She participated in his Artists and Prostitutes 1985-2005 exhibit in New York, where she "lived" in a voyeuristic life-sized set. Amanda Lepore has also released several singles, many written by and/or recorded with Cazwell.

All-in-all I must say, this has been a pretty fun and eventful Summer. Definitely one of the best I've had in a while. But I'm incredibly excited that it's Autumn! Scarves, boots, and boys! Some of my favorite accessories I'll be sporting this season! What's your favorite accessory in the Fall? Let me know!
