The House of Xtravaganza 30th Anniversary Ball

An amazing night of old friends and familiar faces was made even more amazing by so many new friends and beautiful new faces.

Xtravaganza means POWER, god damn it! Does anybody even say that anymore?

OLD SCHOOL. I was ready with my flashlight to fight the shade, but none was thrown. Are these the same ganzas I used to know? Mellowing with age.

Honestly, it was such a gorgeous night. I left inspired. You can’t ask for anything more than that.

What’s The Next Wave?

And I was just talking about…

t-shirts with shoulder pads. Still waiting on their return.

That’s ’86, people. We thought it was the future, but now it’s the past.

Thanks to DJ Duke Todd, the music lives on!

The World’s Worst Fountain

Why?

Swimming pool blue.

Inside a cage.

Sound is a loudly gurgling drain.

Sad, sputtering spray.

Not fabulous in anyway.

And now, for the live action video…

The Puerto Rican Day Parade Style Check 2012

The Puerto Rican Day Parade makes me ask myself – “Why am I not in Puerto Rico right now?”

Trending now: The small flag folded into a band around the head. Wear it on top of the baseball cap, under it or alone. Ties in the back or on the side. No Tupac front knots.

Oddly, the ears of the men were not tucked under the edge of their fitted caps although this trend continues on the streets.

The well dressed Boricua has impeccable “lines” ( That’s the graphic creative shave on the beard, sideburns and head.) and his ears are pierced and studded with diamonds. Tan skin and sparkling chompers behind a big smile finish the look that again forces the question – ” Why am I not in San Juan?”

The countdown to Dominican Day Parade begins…August 9, 2012 – NYC
