Let me know what you think!!

Come on guys! Post. Tell your friends to visit, just SAVE UBER!!!!!!

I don't know where to begin. Actually, as soon as I came home I began to describe the show to my friends the only word I could use was "amazing". As a matter of fact, I'm still quite speechless so let's start from the very beginning.
I decided to wear my new leather skirt (yay! finally!!) with a simple white tee, my signature MJ bag, a vintage gold necklace, and some cool shoes.


Now... the show. I think I can easily name it the best show I have ever gone to. The clothes and presentation were divine and the vibe from the crowd was incredible:

When "fashion shows" are brought up in a conversation, people always think of the runway. Wrong. Fashion shows are actually little "exhibits" set up inside a gallery that present the work of the designer(s). This was a true fashion show.
I honestly don't know how to cover the show any other way, so here's my little "walk through".

______________________________


The show began with stone faced models entering the showroom in black robes and futuristic sunglasses, concealing the designs underneath.


SCENE 1: The cutting. Once all the models entered, they began to take their places. The first installment included three models who simply began cutting pieces of paper adorned with Love Brigade's logo into slits which daintily fell to the ground. The models almost seemed in a trance, unfazed by anything around them.


SCENE 2: The operation. An emergency "surgery" began to take place. Four stone faced models shielded by glasses each took their turn "cutting" up their patient who lay in the center of the table. Their professionalism amazed me; I won't lie... I could never keep a straight face while "slicing" someone on a table while everyone stared.


SCENE 3: The bed. After the surgery was through, four models climbed into bed. No, don't get excited; it was done both artistically and professionally. The models simply rolled around the bed, almost pausing whenever they reached a position. Incredible shoes and glasses lay next to the bed.


SCENE 4: Baked. Three "tanning" models took their places and soaked up the rays.



SCENE 5: The Party. The final installment of the show was a celebration. The model's moods and style of dance clearly changed with the spirit of the song. It was the only area in the show that showed any form of emotion.


Overall, it was incredible. I'm still pretty much speechless. Tons of street style scouts were around and just happened to take my picture. What else is new (wink, wink)??
Check out more coverage in the next issue of prim.!

NEXT SHOW: Sheila Frank 9/11. Should be incredible.

On Tuesday I plan on attending Brooklyn Fashion Week; and get this... the models are walking across the Brooklyn Bridge! It's run by Fashion Indie. That being said, it should we absolutely incredible. I'll take tons of pics and be back to report on Wednesday!

It's not often that I tend to write about brands, but these muthatruckers are hot. I give you... Priestess NYC, a label that has been gracing my ever-so-true "Hot Brands" list for the past few months.
Here are some of their designs for Fall '08 along with a biography of the lovely Cody, head designer.
Oh and p.s.- I kind of cut off the model's head in them because I took screen shots and couldn't fit the whole body in. Sorry!

Cody Ross is a Dallas-born fashion designer known for his kitschy
and sometimes provocative designs. After working in Asia for several years
as a financial analyst, he returned to the United States to pursue his
true passion and launched Priestess NYC in late 2007.
His unique creations have been worn by celebrities and supermodels
including Tyra Banks, Maggie Rizer, Bjork, and Danity Kane, etc. The
line has attracted buyers from avant-garde boutiques and department stores around the world. Cody’s main inspiration come from abstract art, mathematics
and ‘vintage-punk.’ He designs out of his West Village townhouse and lives full time in NYC.
He has a BSC from the London School of Economics as well as credentials in
pattern-construction + design from London’s Central Saint Martins.



OK... now this might be just me but does this look even slightly reminiscent of Ms. Molly's glad bag article from the June/July issue? Maybe it's the editor in me trying to squeeze out so muse-manship. LOL (seen below)



I'm out to lunch! Talk to you babies later!!

The last few days have been so crazy. It's ad selling time for prim. and that always gets confusing.
Anyway, I finally crawled out of my house and visited the promenade. I took some pics:










Outfit: I wore my new flapper inspired shirt and black pants... yes, I finally gave in. I topped it off with my elf shoes and new cardi. Yahhhh yahhhh



I found this gauze-y black cardigan which I absolutely love:

I had too much fun... one of my 1,000 photos taken with the same freaking pair of shoes:

The prim. pins are expected to arrive tomorrow so I'll post when they get here. Yay!
