I took about a hundred thousand pictures at that party. It’s kind of overwhelming. Here are a few with more to come.
Women’s Artistic All Around Make-Up Gold Medalist – ALIYA MUSTAFINA (RUS)
That’s what I call almond. Aliya shows silver lids with glitter on the inside corners with the slightest brown on the inside corner rims. Check the contour. She brings it straight forward at the bottom, pointing right at the Bow Lip. She keeps that lip pale and not shiny. Ten.
(The nose is an eleven on it’s own.)
The Leather Squirrel “Olympic Edition” Trucker cap. Start at the top and style down from there.
A very nice option that tells everyone just exactly what you’re into.
A great option and an alternative to leopard. Cheetah.
My favorite glasses of the summer by far. A “Leave me alone” t-shirt completes the look.
Thank you, New York. Thank you Hudson river. Thank you all very much.
Wear it like this. If anybody tries it, put your glasses on. This is the summer when everything stopped having any importance. Do whatever you want and do anything at all for any reason or for no reason at all. Tell your friends to shut up. Real men wear lace…if they want to. Glasses on.

After a thirty second emergency phone call from Josheeba, I ran to the train and arrived after the first number. Front and center with plenty of room to boogie. UNREAL. The sound was perfect and the band was tighter than maybe…well…ever before! It was a New York moment – to be listening to and loving so hard, the songs I call my favorites. To hear lyrics like, “Cute ponytails and curls,” or “Clams on the halfshell – and rollerskates,” being blasted from the bandshell at Lincoln Center was getting me close to a disco seizure. HELL YEAH! This is one to cross off the bucket list, seeing Nile Rodgers perform live with CHIC? Oh yes darling, I did that. AMAZING!
Nile said recently, “You have to remember, all CHIC songs are non-fiction. We always tell the truth.” Works for me, kids. Now ask yourself – what other artists can say that about their music? Certainly not Janet or Madame (MDME). Truthful lyrics make the music have magic. LONG LIVE NILE RODGERS. Amen to CHIC. Watch the video in the previous post for more drops of disco wisdom from Nile.
Here are some bits from the show… the sound recording is not good, but you can get a taste of the excitement. PLEASE NOTE: Everyone is in all white and Nile wore a turquoise tie. CHIC. The lead vocalists wore custom dresses with a nod to the the cut up t-shirt effect. CHIC. They use rhinestone studded wireless earpieces. CHIC CHIC. A little choreography goes a very long way with songs like these. CHIC. And, as Josh put it, that move is called a “shake your bangle snap.” CHIC!
and now, enjoy the slideshow:

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.
For those of you traveling into the city from elsewhere, be advised that the Memorial Day Holiday Windows are still up! Great!

Passed out drunk for the holiday! CUTE!!!!

Big hats. That’s the thing. You better get one ASAP.

Ahhh yes – Strawberry Union Square keeping it real through the start of summer. Is this a Simon Doonan window? Big hat – TOLD YA

I would say that is a scarf under denim hot pant dungarees. Memorial Day! Let’s make it one to remember.

Normally I don’t like to wear off the shoulder because it shows my ARM HINGE CRACKS.
