I spent the majority of this weekend working, either on Jimmy Fund related things (oh hai, donate plz) or at a photoshoot. I did however manage to fit in drinks with my former, fabulous boss over at Bouchee on Friday and an event over at the Samson Projects on Saturday.
I only have photos of Saturday. So that’s the one you will hear about/see. Plus the Friday night drinks were too gossipy for you all to handle!
The Saturday night event was part of the It’s Pop It’s Art US Tour, and was run by my good friend Steve’s music promotion and management company Pirate!. It also happened to be deliciously sponsored by Black Swan Wines (and WOW did those sponsors pour a full glass).
Steve invited me last week, and I decided to drag Miss Fabulous along with me.
We dressed up, we drank wine, we looked at some (really cool) art, we networked and hung out. And then we left and had a romantic dinner date among the gays in the South End, followed by some running-around-the-city antics, and finally settling in at Cuffs, the bar at Jurys Hotel.
A few photos from the evening:

Sponsor time! (Hello, I am doing an event in October - care to sponsor that? Look how well I promote!)

So there you go. My night in pics. Well the blog-approved ones at least. Also, I’m sorry but how CUTE are my t-strap sandals? They got cut off in that head to toe photo, and I think deserved another link. Of course while looking to link them, I found them for cheap ($49!!) on Overstock right now.
I revisited with some old friends, caught up with some new ones, and, best of all, met a number of new, fantastic people. (”What, no links in that sentence?” you say. OH JUST YOU WAIT.)
Wait for it ….
Wait for it ….
Here’s a bunch of super great people I chatted with last night:
Here’s hoping they all remember me as a classy broad they’d like to associate with much more in the future …. and not some chick throwing back free tequila who forced everyone who was still at the Roxy at 11:00 pm to go to sing karaoke with a big loveable drag queen - even if I was totally that girl too. (Yup when the party was over I dragged everyone over to Jacques Cabaret for some TechKaraoke Boston.)
Ok. I think I’ve supplied you all with enough links to get you through the winter. While you work on those, feel free to enjoy some pics from last night …
Me and Amber. (I totally stole this photo from The Yoono Gallery and threw it in my Flickr.)
Me and Saul.
Me and the Karaoke Crew during the last song of the night.
“GIRL! You are looking FIERCE tonight!” (Man to a man.)
“Go ahead. Touch my butt!” (Man to a girl.)
“I wish I had the legs for that mini dress. Sigh.” (Man to a woman.)
“Ohh give me that yummy gin lemonade drink with extra fruit. HAY!” (Man.)
“I LOVE showtunes.” (Everyone.)
Showtune Tuesday at dbar for Andy’s birthday was a time and a half. There are few places you can get together with a group of people and sing your heart out to Wicked, Little Shop of Horrors, Moulin Rouge, Cabaret, Chicago, Miss Saigon, Hairspray, etc and have everyone around you know all the words too.
Here’s a few pics and video if I need to further convince you locals to head over to dbar …
Danielle, Me, Sarah, and birthday boy Andy … I’ve known these people for decades (plural).
Me (looking a little Tranny-ish) with the South End crew. GIRLS!
Believe it or not, about a decade ago, this was me. Red hair? Check. Pearls? Check. Cat ears? Check.
This is Showtune Tuesday VJ/DJ Ryan trying to look official as I crash his booth. I went to high school with Ryan which makes it my right to crash his booth.
And finally … Vide-oh! (Note: these are all REALLY dark. The lighting in dbar is ROMANTIC. And by romantic I mean not conducive to video taking … and probably for good reason.)
A really crappy dark “vlog” from the beginning of the night.
A couple drinks in singing some Moulin Rouge …
And finally … you try to not dance and bop around while listening to this little ditty.
Normally I wouldn’t suggest this, because how much fun is it really riding the subway? Especially today where there was not one but TWO disabled trains on my commute to work. Not much fun. But this is a (really foggy) clip of me riding the T through my favorite part of the Boston subway system. (Recognize the bridge?)
