Photo by Mark Miller from last week’s LVHRD ARCHDL IV where we were supposed to dress as lumberjacks or wildlife creatures….
Shorter in the back than it is in the front. Looks pretty Katie Holmes-esque here, but I’m trying hard to style it a little differently. Who knows, maybe the blonde chunks will make an appearance again, although I tend to think not.
You may remember me talking about Doug’s semi-secret creative members club LVHRD (pronouced LIVE HARD) before. It’s the one where they throw events where architects battle to create models live on stage, fashion designers compete to create the best dress in an hour, and for the past two years, individuals have battled for the title of Dance Champion.
The first year of LVHRD’s DNCHRD (pronounced DANCE HARD) featured the wonderful Mr. David Hallberg as a judge. Last year, both Gia and I had the opportunity to see and comment on the competition from a front-row judge’s seat as well. This year, the format is entirely different….
“Three DJ’s go head to head in a round robin tournament where you provide the vynl. Awards for best dance crew will be up for grabs, so bring your favorite record and be ready to dance your ass off.”
The main event is on Tuesday SEPT. 25TH (also Doug’s bday), but TONIGHT at an East Village bar called B-Side, there wil be a Pre-Party, where you can meet the competing DJ’s. Also, if you bring some vintage vinyl tonight to the official Pre-Party, you will be granted free admission to the main event on the 25th.
I’ll be there tonight, and next Tuesday.
I’ve already got my vinyl - Doug E Fresh - in honor of you know who.
Greetings from Saratoga! As Kristin already mentioned, last weekend Faye, Adrian and Austin invited the entire company over to their Saratoga home for a barbecue, complete with a pig that they roasted themselves in their own backyard. What a fun way to relax on a Sunday afternoon after a hard first week of performances!

Last but not least…Tess and I made these little piggy cupcakes to commemorate the occasion
