603/ VANDAM

2012_02_12
Vandamn. NYC weekly Vandam at Greenhouse (the “organically conscious” club) provided ridiculously good visual interest Sunday night. Maybe the grass on this coast is greener, but my first assignment in the
City got me especially hype. So thankful for JUANITA MORE, my fellow West Coast transplant; her delicious beats had the children entranced until the wee wee hours. Fashion Week spillover, familiar faces, and
gyrating B’East Coast bodies made this packed throwback of a festa one to remember. Oh yeah, weenie and dogs came out, too. SERVE GOTHAM, SERRRVE!

568/ RUNWAY

2011_11_19
Inside a group of LA’s most eclectic and manicured men, women and in-betweens, have amassed a crowd that mimics the English blitz kids of the early 80′s (think Boy George) and the dance embellishments of LA’s own krumpers and clowns (think LaChapelle’s “RIZE”). But these kids do it with their own funk and grace that sets them apart from any other club scene I have been to in my 26 years in LA. I fully believe, that if we embrace this event and this scene, we have a brand new New Romanticism on our hands.
