Final Friday with a Bow Tie Chaser.

Friday Night, The Fagazine hit Cincinnati, and we hit her hard.

First, we went to Final Friday in Over-The-Rhine, and I brought a gangload of people with me to show them how much fun it is. As per usual, they told me I was right.

The highlight of the pop shop this week was definitely the Fancy Pack, clicky clicky.

Iris Cafe on Main Street in OTR gave Kenneth Wright and myself quite the Album Fever.

IF you haven't been, get your ass to Iris Cafe just to see that gorgeous courtyard in person!

Street Style Blitz! Ready, GO!

Then, we hit Karaoke Night with Dhani Jones at the Bow Tie Cafe.

Well, maybe he hit me...

The performances all night were strong, there was no one in the house who was less than completely entertained.

My friends Sara Dittrich and Jacob Bogart performing "Ice Ice Baby."

Jake then proceeded to bring the house down with his rendition of "99 Problems" by Jay-Z.

Not too much later, D'Andre Shirley performed "My Neck, My Back." Too. Much. To. Handle.

Check out his Tumblr for some mildly graphic but intensely interesting brain juice, mmk?

The Groove Thang:

You have to forgive them, this was their first time venturing out with The Fagazine, they didn't know that the party never stops.

Everybody look! It's Style Edit!

Marsha, always poised and perfect.

Brock, GET IT GURL!

I only roll with the best, and this is it.

If you aren't a fan of The Bow Tie Cafe on Facebook yet, how will you know about the next Karaoke Night? Get your shit together and click that link.

Ta for now.

Weekend Whirlwind

I have been working my ass off lately, so sorry I haven't been posting regularly. I gotsta make monies, yo.

Anyways, this weekend is going to be off the sequined chain! Tomorrow night, The Fagazine will be attending Karaoke Night at the Bow Tie Cafe in Mt. Adams. It starts at 9pm, and if you want to see me belt it out on stage, you should be there.

Photo from Sweat Training's Blog. Read their synopsis of the Bow Tie Cafe, here.

Saturday night, I am going to the "Curtain Up!" kick-off event for the Cincinnati Opera. It's Bollywood themed, and my outfit is going to be outrageous.

My twinnie, Amy Elisabeth will be at both events photographing every moment. So there will likely be another shot similar to this one.

What? I'm not ashamed. That night was fun as shit. You can see dozens other of fabulous pictures on her Facebook.

I'll have a photographer there as well, and I'll be damned if I don't snag a snappy of her gettin' her groove on as well.

MusicNow Festival 2011

As you know, instead of going to the Cincinnati Fashion Fund dinner last night, I made a trip down to Memorial Hall (a smaller, but gorgeous venue next door to Music Hall down town) for Cincinnati's annual MusicNow Festival.

My photographer Heidi, and I checked in at the Press Table and immediately noticed how gorgeous the building was.

We got some delicious food, and listened to those guys' wonderful music.

Which means I was as close to being in a state of Euphoria without being in the same room as Cher, Celine Dion, and the cast of Glee as humanly possible.

Cincinnati Fashion Week Day 4; Landor Associates Graphic Fashion

Landor Associates is a Creative and Branding Agency based out of San Fransisco, but Cincinnati is their Biggest office. Landor dresses their windows in collaborations with local artist, and they incorporate graphic design in the windows as well. Executive Creative Director Steve McGowan told me, "Selfishly, the windows are really to inspire our people. But when we find a way to inspire ourselves and the community, that's when it's magic."

I think the best part of Landor's windows, especially their SMASHUP Creative Project that I showcased last month is how they bring the "creative underground" of Cincinnati to the forefront. There is a large art beat hear in Cincinnati, but no one seems to know about it. Landor does a great job of drawing attention to the creative scene that Cincinnati has to offer. 

The Graphic Fashion event was held in the alley way next to the old Shillito's building in downtown Cincinnati which now houses Landor Associates.

The Graphic Fashion Models:

Myself, my friend Devin, and Drew (who took these pictures, Ryan had class last night.) The party was a blast, and it was a beautiful night for it.

Tonight, I am not covering the Cincinnati Fashion Fund dinner, as it should be a more formal affair. I was asked to cover another exciting event going on in Cincinnati. The MusicNow Festival!

Come and see me!
You can also see me by getting tickets to Saturday Night's Fashion Finale, and the After Party!

Talihina Sky

Kings of Leon is one of my favorite bands. I have followed them since before they were on the top forty and all the fangirls jumped on board.

This is a perfect example of why.

I want to see the whole thing so bad.

"What a night for a dance, you know I'm a dancin' machine. With the fire in my bones and the sweet taste of kerosene. I get lost in the night, so high I don't wanna come down." Kings of Leon, Revelry.

Listen ta DIS.

Ryan just told me I needed to listen to this remix of Britney's Till the World Ends.


He said it might make me RZ die. That is a serious assumption.
Rachel Zoe dying is the highest class of being gay dead.


Looky Looky, Listen, Listen:

I didn't RZ die. I RZ gave birth to a gaybie.
That's a gay baby. Its better. Its impact is greater than dying.

Its giving life instead of ending it.

So you, deal with that.

Tell us in the comments: Did you RZdie?

Zach. (and Ryan.)
