Spring is in the Air and at Houndstooth there are many a groom needing a suit to tie knots.
So we were sooo excited to hear that our good friends Rory and Erin decided to get married.....last week....and want to get married....this PAST MONDAY!!!!!! No she is not pregnant. :)
So the day before the big day Michael and I took Rory and Erin under our dressing wings and went vintage suit and dress shopping....
Rory's ceremnoy suit, found at Houndstooth, Versace, went so well with his skin tone.
Erin's ceremony dress, found at my friend Malin's vintage store in Williamsburg (N.6th between Bedford n Driggs). We found her ceremony dress, 3 pairs of shoes and reception dress all for under $500 bucks. And she looked fierce.
Here she is getting ready with her cute mom, she's wearing Miu Miu slip on from 2 seasons ago, found at Fil Du Joie, on Grand between Bedford n Driggs. My other favorite vintage store.
Pinning a lilac:
She spoke with the family (who were all very excited about it, even though it all happened so fast), while we hid Rory in the other room so he couldn't see her dress:
The ceremony. I cried...
Erin and Rory in their reception suits and dress. Rory's suit was vintage Armani found at Houndstooth and Erin wore a cute 80's dress with red gloves and Maud Frizoni pumps from Malin's vintage store. Here they are with Rory's bro and wife:
WhiteBox benefit the next day:
Not so whitebox-ish in this photo. Tatum O'Neal was there!
After Party:
it was in a great loft on Howard street:
me in mine and Donna's new jumpsuit creation, more on that later...
The next day met up with James to discuss our performance this weekend at his artist residency HOMEBASE on E.Broadway (Chinatown/LES).
We're playing in some changing rooms:
His installation in an exam room for HOMEBASE is emotional and heavy. I suggest you go and see it. I cried....
Later yesterday evening we went to a lecture that CREATIVE TIME was having for A.A. Bronson and Nils Norman.
Here' mark, A.A.'s partner. We sat with him, James is good friends with them and works with Printed Matter regularly. You gott read A.A.'s interview in Purple Magazine!! It's so great, with Olivier and Dash Snow. Really insightful. Its the one with Diane Von Furstenburg rockin that Margiela hair dress.
Here's Mark, moving his head around:
So curator Mark Beasley hosted the evening and did a great job. Creative Time will be doing a HUGE installation show at Govener's Island this June 27th. I'm already there. Both A.A. and Nils have works there:
James, my hunny bunny:
Nils, A.A. and Mark:
A.A. with Nils work in the background:
Nils with one of his works in the back ground:
Another great piece by Nils. I'm a fan now:
Afterwards I spoke with both Nils and A.A. A.A. and Mark, his partner, had awesome outfits on. Such hot men!!!
Here is a bag that J. Morrison screen printed for VISUALAIDS.ORG it was thier gift bag and so bad ass. Gets me choked up whenever I see it. So powerful....
Off to the Guggenheim to see Matthew DJ for the Frank Lloyd Wright opening. Then to a Printing Press party for my friend Katie. More on that soon.
