Tonight my husband and I saw Zang Toi<\/a>‘s spring line at a fundraiser Zang held for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. We saw both singer Patti LaBelle<\/a> and DJ drag queen Lady Bunny<\/a> there. Who is the greater diva? I would have liked to see them wrestle for the title. Maybe next season! The theme for the collection was “Chinoiserie Garden.” I must apologize, because the photo below has no Chinoiserie in it at all and doesn’t particularly illustrate anything beyond what I wore to the party.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> I wish I could borrow Kristoffer from Style Bytes<\/a> and Trashion<\/a> to do my photography! I need an upgrade.<\/span><\/div>\n

I got that relatively subdued, pinstriped Zang a little while ago. It looks much more fabulous in person than in this lying photograph … I swear! Most of Zang’s clothes are more dramatic than this dress. He’s all into the glamour. We like that! I wore this light blue Zang last December. Too bad you can’t see the kicky hemline in this picture:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I wore this pinkish-lavender Zang (below<\/span>) last New Year’s Eve:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Here’s another picture from New Year’s just to prove that I do occasionally leave the dingy hallway that serves as my photo studio:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That’s me with my gorgeous client Brooke<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

But my all-time favorite Zang was this green gown with matching fan:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That’s my husband on the left. People often ask if I’m his daughter. He loves that.<\/span><\/div>\n

Last season, I did some gold-plated sterling silver jewelry for Zang’s runway show. (All runway photos are courtesy of <\/span>Zang Toi<\/a>.<\/span>) A cuff:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
A choker:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Some big rings and a giant belt buckle:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
But my all-time fondest memory of Zang is the first time my husband met him. I’m pretty sure it was also the first time my husband ever shook hands with a man who was wearing a mini kilt but my husband carried it off with aplomb. And … nice legs, Zang! All the ladies are jealous, I’m telling you.
