My adorable designer friend Zang Toi<\/a> and I had a joint sample sale at his showroom yesterday. Zang was wearing one of his mini-kilts in honor of the occasion.<\/p>\n

I got him to show off the cityscape cape that I obsessed about here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Notice the top of the Empire State Building in silver sequins.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n

But now I’m even more in love with this spectacular gown depicting the Hearst tower and the Time Warner building.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’m going to wear this someday.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n

Later, Zang’s gorgeous client, Deepa Pakianathan, came in to pick up a sex-ay minidress that she was wearing to an event that night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Zang and Deepa<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
When my gorgeous friend Melissa came in and found a stunning black gown, I was able to get a picture of the designer in action.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks to Zang for having me! Thanks also to Melissa<\/a>, Kathy, Jane, Janet, Karen, Libby, Rose Marie, Ravi and Tina<\/a> for their support. And, last but not least, thanks to my gorgeous assistant GeorgeB<\/a>, who proudly showed off his Genie in a Bottle cufflinks to all the customers. But maybe GeorgeB should be thanking me since he had such a great time watching pretty ladies come out of the dressing room in pretty dresses. He told Zang that he’d be happy to come by the showroom again.<\/p>\n

Separately, thanks to handsome blogger Dr. Zibbs for mentioning me on That Blue Yak <\/a>today. Bookmark his blog, y’all. He’s a funny guy.<\/p>\n

UPDATED TO ADD: If you’re in NYC tonight and don’t have plans, put on your party hat and go to Tulips & Pansies Headdress the Affair<\/a>. The event raises money for Village Care of New York<\/a>, a community-based, not-for-profit service organization serving older adults, persons living with HIV\/AIDS and individuals in need of medical and rehabilitation services. For the event, designers work with top florists to create out-of-this-world headdresses made of plants and flowers. I’ve seen a picture of Zang’s entry and it is going to blow everyone away! <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
