On Thursday, we celebrated the launch of my Dirtee Hollywood tshirt line at Atrium.  For the past two weeks we’ve been slaving for this- building window displays, cutting out scads of wicked girlthings, booking the most glamorous vixens we’ve shared a dive-bar stage with. To see it come to life was exhausting and magical and once, and thanks so much to all of you for helping me party.

At the launch, 10 burlesque and pinup models posed as my archatypical, rococo haired striped stockinged girl.  Akynos, Amber Ray, Dante Posh, Ariel, Amber Baldet, Jo Weldon, Kiki Valentine, Katelan Foisy, Deity, Dame Cuchifrita, I salute you

As all of us in the events production business know, these sorts of shindigs are impossible without sponsors.  Huge shoutouts to Kumquat Cupcakery, Boyd and Blair vodka, Dirty Sue Mixer, Amped-4-a-Cure, Vitamin Water, Amp Energy, Alma Tequila, and most of all the Kim and her team at Pure Consulting, without whom none of this would be possible

I drew a rococo girly at the event.  With an octopus, which you can’t see yet.  Cause it’s hiding.

Thanks of course go to Dirtee Hollywood, who let a fashion n00b like me loose, and has supported all my mad ideas.

Thanks to Melissa, Foley, Ruth, Tim, and my mom, for so much labor it makes me blush.  Thanks to superstars Jenna Sauers, Gala Darling, Hilary Beck and Andrea Grant for making the affair a bit more glam by attending.  Thanks to my videographers, who will make hilarity.
