Designer Slated

I’m positively dewy thinking about the Fresh Faces in Fashion event happening tomorrow, March 31, 2007 at the Flamingo South Beach. Presented by GenArt, nine emerging designers will showcase their talent (i.e. blood, sweat, bitching and tears) with the hopes of stepping into the cat-fight, razor-tender world of the fashion industry. Past graduates of this occasion have included Zac Posen, Louis Verdad and Rebecca Taylor.

This year’s chosen 9 hail from either Miami or New York. They are: Secrets of Charm, Zulastudio, Bogosse, Maya, ONG, H Fredriksson, Adriana Castro, Erika Pena and Caroline Dadlani. You may not recognize these names now – but after tomorrow they could become as synonymous and infamous as YSL, Gucci and Prada. GenArt’s always been able to hold it down when it comes to spotting up and coming talent. They are the leaders in the arts and entertainment biz so there should be plenty air kisses to go around tomorrow night – I can already feel the love.

Woohoo! Love it! See you kids there I hope!
what a weird venue: the flamingo?!??! whatevs. i'll be there!
Those Gen Art events generally suck. You will see the same
ugly losers as every year plus some really crappy fashions.
Always the same shitty dresses from a season ago,
you know the long silk ones in tropical prints wiyh a halter top, etc.
I wouldnt pay 35.00 to go again, especially at the Flamingo.
be nice biatch
pop lock and drop it
Post Gen Art/ Fresh Faces /Cece Fieneberg event opinion: I thought the venue was an odd choice but after arriving and viewing the set up it made sense. The Flamingo offered open spaces, nice scenery, and great runway set up over the pool erased my speculation in holding the event in a residential plot. The fashion was nice, not just "shitty dresses from a season ago". And the people there we very pretty....very pretty and not all were stuck up snobs (I had several nice, engaging conversations tonight). Anyhow, Lady Wrangler will be posting a review on the fashion and the evening soon. I had a great tonight.

Huggles to Melissa and Angie from Feinberg PR for supporting Miami Nights and providing us access to these events that normally we wouldn't have. Thank you. =)

Umm... I did end up going and the event per se was good, but
the people who attended, by people I mean men, weren't pretty. At all.
Yes the women at this event dress up to the nines and go all out in the
grooming department, including my friends and I, so I can see how from a male perspective,
the people (as in females) are pretty. Oh, it is so heartbreaking to see
all this effort by hundreds of female guests on the hopes that maybe, maybe
this time they will meet the bick dicked BMW M3 driving machazo of their dreams. But it aint happening in GenArt, or any other "fab" event that features an open bar.
I am not hating on the concept of GenArt in fact I am just showing tough love, since I do love the concept. The problem is that this is Miami. The fact of the matter is that there is a particular group of old fugly sleazy jerks (its like 20 of them) who somehow go into every damn PR list in the Miami area and they go to EVERY SINGLE FREE BOOZE EVENT there is. Do I go to these events? Yes and I also go to a lot places were you actually have to shell out money for the drinks. I don't see them at the latter ever (thank goodness.) There is the idiot who wears a rising sun headband and who calls himself Samurai, I prefer to call him geisha, there is the decrepit ooold dude with the blond afro who is always hitting on my friends and I, there is that fugly couple of trailer trash losers who look like they dress from a garbage bin, there is the indian looking guy in a graying beard who thinks he is a celebrity, there is the 42 year old who claims he owns a studio at the Setai but can't be bothered to get a decent haircut or to settle down with anyone desperate enough to date him... the lame-o-list goes on. These same assholes were at a PRIVATE West Elm event and somehow they got in (what for they can't afford the furniture!!!! or the items on bid!!!) Of course West Elm Management and corporate executives were in attendance and they were horrified at this group of freaks. They thought a circus had broken into the store. Did they buy anything? of course not, Samurai-Geisha actually tried to steal a candle and even went behind the counter at 11PM (an hour after the party had ended) to find if there was free booze left. Klasssy!!! You may understand how discouraging it is for a pretty attractive female with postgraduate education to find herself surrounded by these people every time she goes to what is supposed to be a cool happening. FYI, most PR firms and event planners here, including Feinberg, do throw pretty awesome shindigs, but they lack in the crowd control. After all the invites they send out allow for anyone to call and say they are on the list.

PS- Yes the fashion was very whatever!!!! I stand by my word and taste. C'mon dude, it's your male uneducated opinion against one person who is virtually addicted to shopping and to whom Vogue is the bible and who can name virtually any designer, fabric, cut and fashion movement known to Diana Vreeland.
Biatch I'll wait on what Ms. Wrangler says. She's been in the fashion industry for a good while now. Unfortunately being addicted to shopping doesn't make you a fashion expert either. Middle school girls are addicted to shopping and they dress like Paris Hilton rejects.

And Vogue tells you want to like, it doesn't exactly give room for opinion. Ms. Wintour could tell women a potato sack is the new little black dress and they'd probably go out and buy one. This not to discredit Vogue as a viable fashion guide, but there are MANY alternative fashion magazines.

Maybe you see the same 20 guys b/c you all have the same interests. Yeah they seem to be at every open bar event but you seem to be there also, I mean if you keep seeing them.

Chill, maybe you have not found the right guy b/c you are too worried about dodging the wrong ones.
Yes Duran shopping a lot doesn't make me an expert in fashion,
just like wearing cheesy tight t-shirts from Abercombie and Fitch on
a rather obese frame does not make its wearer a straight arian uberhottie,
right? As for the other alternative fashion magazines you apparently love
to read yet can't produce a name for, all of these get their reference
sources from the same place that Vogue does, Paris and New York fashion
shows, trend forecasters and trends in art and design, and Vogue!! Even W does this.
Different art direction perhaps, same fashion trends.
Finally, any person who works in the fashion industry wether as a
designer or stylist or editor or whatever else there is, uses this
magazine, which is run by Anna Wintour, as general reference.
Wich brings me to the question, what is the point of your rant
against my answer to BAC? Showing you are gayer than gay? I mean I have
a ton of male gay friends, from the butchest to the biggest flamer,
yet none of them have such knowledge and contempt for Anna Wintour!!
I don't think that they even know her name except if they worked in
fashion. Maybe like a proper gay, you should subscribe to GQ, Esquire,
Blue, Out, like they all do. They feature some hotties plus they will give you
some really needed excercise and fashion advice. I also find curious that
you attack women who are into fashion ("women dress as sacks of potatoes when told to do so!!")
as a response to my response to BAC who responded to a comment about a
Gen Art fashion event were every woman who attends fits the profile of a trendfollower
you so much seem to despise. BTW why are you butting in? Is it because you identify yourself with
the group of losers that I describe? Let me tell you they are not a nice bunch, they are cokeheads
who wouldnt give that time of day to a chubby tubby like you, so dont hate on me. Ok Tinky Winky?
Lordy!
pop lock and drop it
Christina-
"Maybe you see the same 20 guys b/c you all have the same interests."
Umm, no. Thats the exact reason that I posted a comment in the firt place,
I can pay my own drinks and dinner. If I had the same interests as them,
I would be a nasty old cokehead wannabe-neverwas. I would not be interested
enough in the actual artists-designers featured to notice that the talent is
lacking a bit. Its no GenArts fault or the PR firms faultit is that talented
people are leaving Miami in droves. You know why Im pissed at seeing this loserness
(which Im not alone in noticing) invade these events? because it wasn't like that a year ago.
Because the premise for paying membership is to be able to have respite from all the
tackiness that Miami has to offer, and to be introduced to a culturally relevant group of people.
If I wanted to see airheaded coked pout tacky pretentious badly dressed assholes who dont have any money
I would go to Mynt, Cameo, Snatch, Cameo, Skybar, anywhere in Coconut Grove, Kendall etc.
And oh, my trouble is not finding the "right guy" (I think you are reading to many Cosmopolitan magazines)
My trouble is being visually grossed out every time I see the fuglyness these people (which include females)
have to offer.
Lol, truly entertaining. I didn't realize my 1 paragraph opinion on the event with no reference or insult to "bitch" would engender such a heated and enthralled response.

"chubby tubby" hahahaha that's classic!

I am the eggman
Sad girl. Please don't ever go up to any guy just in case that guy is me. I wouldn't want to run the chance. Even for a cocktail napkin. Get a grip and move to that "magical" city everybody talks about.

Tell me the truth, did he cheat on you? Who's the baby daddy?
I think Biatch needs to post her Myspace so we can know what kind of quality individual we are dealing with here. :-D
pop lock and drop it
Ugh, Christina, I think the sad girl here is you. BTW, women don't go up to guys.
Unless its your beloved Twist and those are drag queens hon.
Whats up with this sentence-
"I wouldn't want to run the chance. Even for a cocktail napkin."
It is incoherent at best. What do you mean? that you don't want to run the risk of being asked for a coktail napkin?
Well, sweetie, if you cater-waiter for a living you better get used to being asked for napkins by party goers like me. Anyhoo, I don't think that I would ever run into your bitchy infantile mug (whoo, what a mature manly and SMART response you had for me when you asked "did he cheat on you?")
since you cant afford drinks anywhere (including your dreaded Studio A) and I don't attend raves full of over the hill pacifier sucking, glo-stick wielding bitches like you.
Lackner-
You don't need to see my Myspace profile. Its set to private, for my friends. I dont know you or 99% of your readers. Just like the "bloggers" who work on your site who have their names withheld and don't show their mugs or whatever personal webpages they may have. I don't need to see your boring profile either, or where you live or work etc.
You have a blog so people who live in Miami and enjoy its nightlife can post their opinions. If you don't like it I suggest you shut the site and find another line of work. Its incredible that you feel free to bitch and mock things in Miami (attitudes, people, ethnic groups etc) but when someone who patronizes (as in actually reads this crap) your site makes a comment critizicing EXACTLY the same things you people do, you immediately respond doubt as to the quality of the individual. I think this all started with my critizising Gena Art an event run by CC Feineberg, and you fear of losing your so valued contacts. Sweetie, believe me when I say this, they, including Ms. Fineberg, share my opinion. They won't stop putting you on guests lists for events that anybody has access to otherwise. You know how BAC said, thanks for letting us access an event we otherwise wouldnt have access to? Oh, hon, ANYBODY has access to them, hence my initial comment that started this domino of over sensitive, wounded, nerdy male ego. What, you think I didn't notice how every poster who has attacked me is a guy? If it was a EMO dork posting, you would be actually inviting him as a featured blogger.
As to your question, you are dealing with a person who, along with her circle of friends,
thinks that a guy who owns a chihuahua is a bitchy mannered freak.
lol, "Emo Dork posting". "Bitch" you are full of great one liners. Keep up the good work and feel free to post your comments anytime you want and continue supporting Miami Nights.

"As to your question, you are dealing with a person who, along with her circle of friends,thinks that a guy who owns a chihuahua is a bitchy mannered freak." - HAHAHA, This remark is even more amusing because the chihuahua is probably the most visibly owned dog in this narcissistic city.

Biatch,

If I didn't want you to express yourself I would have blocked your IP range by now. I love it when you post here - it gets people angry and gets me traffic and makes me more money. So keep it up, daddy needs a new car.
pop lock and drop it
You talk a lot Biatch. I think this chubby tubby loves you despite you being permanently on the rag.
Ghost of Miami Nights Past
Love you too tubby, just showing you some tough love.
Oooo Lackner has the power to block IPs!! I tremble in awe. As for your new car I wouldn't hold my breath.
If my opinions could generate enough money to buy at least a $10,000 car I would have started my own blog years ago.
Biatch,

Keep posting! KEEP POSTING!

And I wasn't even threatening you, like I said I prefer you to be around buzzing like a little fly. Yay for your proud existance.

Biatch,

I'm discouraged by your delay in responding to our previous volley of comments. I hope you haven't changed your mind about being our resident site troll. To encourage your efforts, I'll give you some fresh material:

1. This site is not profitable every month.

2. We lost the diffuser on our camera during a drunken bender.

3. I recently went shopping at Guess.

4. My dog's color is not AKC acceptable because she has a disqualifying characteristic: "White on any part of dog which exceeds one-half inch in its longest dimension"

5. My sink is full of dirty dishes.

Hope this helps! Can't wait to hear from you.

love,
t

Buzzing like a little fly around the pile of shit that this site is? hahaha Just joking
And since this is a parallel universe opposite logic I am a troll and you must be Brad Pitt.
