PARTY ANIMALS!

Last night was our works party, held a the very swanky “one” on Little West 12th St. It was a fun night lots of drinks and plenty of good food, I must have drank my Christmas bonus’s worth of booze! We ended up going to Buddha Bar for more drinks and then on to APT for some dancing, the night finally come to an end at Odessa for food and a night cap!

I’m actually not feeling to bad for a change just a little more mongy than usual!!!

XXXTINA'S PARTY!

We had fun a XXXtina's unofficial Christmas Works party yesterday, "Fun" being the word it was kind of crazy. Her apartment is on the 56th floor (my ears popped when we left the lift) of The Corinthian building a perfect example of seventies architecture complete with a monstrous foyer and hotel like corridors. Bethzaira and I stayed for about an hour before we had to get back down town to a friends leaving party in the East Village....We are so glad we live down town and soon to be Brooklyn I could never live in a place like that even though the view was terrific!

Have a great weekend I will try and get into a daily blog thing, this week has been a tour de force of Warhol revisions and amendments!

Wednesday Rain...

Rode to work today, it was quite mild. The rain has arrived as promised, I'm quietly quite happy working away on our Fall line with the a bit of Coldplay on the stereo...I'm trying to keep myself from making my designs too "guy" so the music and the relaxed environment is definitely helping!

Here's one of the bags, I modified for our "girl" customer, it has some cool punk references let's see how it's received by the team...

TALES OF SAN FRANCISCO...

Whoah! What a great trip, it was short but SO sweet!!! We had a wicked time with M&Z, Byron, Dodi and the cats!

The apartment in Sausalito is so cool, the view is amazing, Peter and Mummy will definitely love it out there. It has a cozy homely feel to it, may be it's the all the pine trees or the peaceful people with flowers in there hair!!! Napa Vallejo was great, great wine, great company and good times. Our Sunday walk or "hike" was a tremedous experience, the view and giant redwoods, the funny little salamanders and the "gorilla's in the mist" visuals as we made it to the summit was really special.

Thanks Matthew, Zack and Byron for making it such memorable trip!

BROOKLYN BANKS!!!

Went for a skate with Tonio yesterday morning down to the Brooklyn Banks under the Bridge. It was really RAD, we had a great time, Tonio was pulling crazy Ramp2Ramp backside kick turns on the steps. I totally pulled my back so I'm moving around like an old man today with Tiger balm pads on!!!

I'll have make sure I fully stretch before I go next time, but I will definitely be going again it was so RADical!

"A MIGHTY WIND!!!"

Bad BOY!

Byron's new motor is quite a beast, as you can see he is keeping in
REAL WEST SIDE!!!

We are heading out to San Francisco next weekend, a pre-Christmas gift
from Matthew. As we are all spending the Holidays elsewhere this year
so it will be fine time to see how they are settling into life in the
West! I can't wait, we really miss them and Dodi-licious will also be
there so it has all the ingredients of a fantastic weekend.

Have a delightful Friday kids, it's going to wet and windy in NY and
I'm not talking about my bottom!
