Sir and Madame Opens

I had the pleasure of stopping by the opening Sir and Madame, an new store in Westtown Chicago. You already know the owners of Solemates fame, Autumn and Brian have branched out to include their own line of the same name.
Stop by!

Hope to see you there.

We thank you and hope to see you next year.

Introducing Clifton Charles....

It was so so nice to see men taking a serious interest in their attire last night. And it didn't involve sneakers!
I attended a measuring party for the new super awesome custom shirt brand Clifton Charles. Giving Thomas Pink a run for their money, I watched as owners Cliff and Wayne were hands on, fitting your typical 9 to 5 guy for shirts impressive enough to seal any deal. $99 x 10-day turn-around time = the future of the dress shirt a mon avis. Check them out.....

Class is back.

In a time of evites you can't wait to ignore, I was thrilled to get an actual birthday invite.
Peep the details(not just where and when) on my Ladies Lotto girl Veronica's invite; great paper, a calendar, gift registry, directions, a menu with choices and a self-addressed envelope so you can formally RSVP.
Awesomeness.
So what would the wedding invite look like? :)

A New York state of mine?

Lynnette Astaire of Married to the Mob fame threw a very New Yorkish afterparty for Lollapalooza here in the Chi considering it went to about 6am! All kinds of characters were present in that house on the gold coast.


96 degree weather meant dresses on just about every lady.


But some went the extra mile by showing us too much.


Tatted up and coupled up.


At some point Joy Bryant showed up. She's a lot more beautiful in person then this "caught" picture portrays.


Live performances all night.


Lynnette keeping energy up.


Half of the party was outside to get air.


More characters but really check out Lynette's shoes.

Do you have yours?

Melody Ehsani earrings that is? A definite way to make any fit pop for a night out.
We have white, black and red. Yes please.....

Good to see you :)

We represented at the 3rd annual Daley Center Sidewalk Sale. Really, we did it to be close to the Picasso for 2 days but here's how it went.


5am but the sculpture gives us strength.


Givewaways like "Fuck the Recession" stickers were a hit. Thanks Christopher Lee Sauve.


Shrink boss Kenny shows up with fuel aka Starbucks.


Face of Shrink Shabath and Kenny take a brake and who's watching the booth?


Big sizes you want, big sizes you get but are these too big? Hmmmmm


Our SUV is full.


The runway show at lunch both days was a hot feature and the Elite models delivered.


People feeling us as usual. Now get back to work.
