Meister. DJ Ashok brought guests into a separate party room, where there was dancing, mingling, and
enjoying the beautiful night at the Hudson.

Thursday night was all fashion as we headed to the Ivy Room (E. Ohio St.) where CS Magazine held their Chic Boutique. The room
hosted several local boutiques and their models, and were given the spotlight to showcase their Spring collections. Each guest
was given a reusable tote and a glass of Voga Champagne while shopping vintage and new fashions, mingling with the
industry's most acclaimed crowd.
The Underground continued the fashionable soiree, featuring a new catwalk for the occasion. Agency Galatea models rocked out
to the live band while wearing the latest looks from Sofia Vintage Clothing & Accessories. We have some wonderful photos from
the night, but won't be able to do the band justice. Think Janis Joplin, where rocker meets rasp.
The event was fabulous, the drummer girl rocked, and we had a Voga-blast.
Cheers to the night!

Chuck or Nate? This show can get complicated at
times but picking the jewelry wasn't! Gossip Girl
loves our jewelry and we know we know, we've
been on Gossip Girl a lot but there's no such thing
Ok, then for the gossip. Is Raina going to be with
as too much. They're now the fashion icon on tv.
Let's pat Julie on the back and say she did a great
job with the designs. The citrine earrings Raina
wears is so classy!

their first Red Dress Party, benefiting
the AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC)
Marcus Riley from NBC, Candace
Jordan and Miss Foozie, the Red
Dress event did not disappoint a high
energy musical performance by
Kristine W was a definite crowd
pleaser. DJ Harmonix & DJ Jeanette
got the audience moving, as the open
specialty cocktails.
While this event was entertaining
from every false eyelash to the top of
every wig, it was far more than a
spectacle. Ten years ago, in Portland,
two gay men with AIDS made a
promise to one another- when one
dies the other will NOT wear black to
the funeral, they will wear a RED
DRESS.
That spirit has brought AIDS
awareness in the form of Red Dress
events in several cities across the
country. Kind of makes you think- if
one simple act of support can do so
much, what are we waiting for?
Please, take minutes out of your day
to show support for something you
believe in. You never know who will
be inspired by your actions.
