Clothing Chaos & Christmas Craving

My intention was the Christian Audigier Fashion Celebration live, via twitter only. However, if you were following our twitter (and I saw some of you on your cell phones and crackberries), you know way more went on than could be fit into forty updates. That’s the thing about McFadden’s and honestly, the reason they are one of the best night spots in this city… For every major occurrence, there are one hundred little details worth telling and retelling.

During one of the twitter updates, I mentioned a police report being filed. According to multiple sources, a drunken customer (one of those at McFadden’s? imagine that) tossed a cup over the railing. It is unclear after that what happened, except what I have confirmed is that the drunken moron and friends started talking and physical contact ensued… The contact involved a McFadden’s bouncer, who was simply out to relax on his night off…

This is a memo for all the drunken morons who seem to inhabit this city and somehow always seem to finds their way to McFadden’s when I am there… If you are going to get into some kind of fight, beat up each other… Stop taking on or getting into trouble people I know…

Alright, onto the fashion celebration, which was less of a celebration and more of a sixty people crammed into a ten foot space screaming for approval so they could score some free swag. I know that sounds like an out of control situation and trust me it was! But, the event and format were uniquely McFadden’s. From beginning to end, the energy was amazing… Guest DJ Marc Da Spot, Boogie tossing out clothes, and bunnies, gorgeous bunnies losing their voice and their sanity…

As I wrote yesterday, the clothes lived up to expectations. The unique print patters and color schemes, made every piece must want and for those who caught them every piece a true value. In the hectic aftermath of the show, I spoke to one of the fashion reps and we will definitely bring you more of Christian Audigier… a designer with a flare for style and presentation.

Within the screaming, clothes tossing, and general mayhem, there were some highlights… The Lucky Charms dancing on the DJ booth, Lester dancing on the DJ booth (yes, literally on top of the railing)… The idiot who stole a shirt of a girl (and should do three days in the Columbus jail for just for being an ass)… And the ultimate highlight, when Lester played the McFadden’s National Anthem, Don’t Stop Believing…

As the song started, Boggie screamed that he wanted the performance on You Tube, so as he led the singing, which was word for word (literally the only thing missing was Steve Perry), Boogie filmed it all…. Afterward I spoke with him and hopefully, he will be sending us the footage…

The chaos finally ended with (as mentioned on twitter), Boogie giving the last piece of swag to a birthday girl, who was apparently so appreciative that her and several friends took turns grinding, cuddling, and enjoying Boogie… My favorite moment of their desperation? The whip cream shot… Yes, someone actually sprayed whip cream into a jello shot container and three of the bunnies lapped it up…

When the fashion posse split, the action slowed down, but there were no shortage of colorful moments… Several girls decked for the Holiday season, including one who did her hair entirely in Christmas bows… Lester singing the praises of Barack Obama (I thought DJ’s were apolitical)… More random music (I will say more in a moment) and dancing by people, who frankly, should never, EVER dance…

As for the music (see I told you I would say more)… Lester, seriously, what are you thinking? Once again, God Bless the USA and the Star Spangled Banner and if that wasn’t bad enough Sunday Bloody Sunday from U2… I get that McFadden’s is an Irish name, but seriously, we needed a U2 song to confirm that? I will say this one more time (and I am certain they will force me to say it again)… Play dance songs, play “Heat of the Moment” or Journey, but don’t get excessively weird on us… We’re there to snuggle bunnies or shake our ass… Not to feel as though we’re listening to our parents radio station…

I couldn’t end this wrap (which is approaching a thousand words now) without mentioning the individual star of the night, who was coincidentally the individual star of the previous night… Taryn. The first session of her strutting the bar, form fitting black dress, smile, sick dance moves, taking a shot herself… That was enough to win the evening… But, her group performance (there were four people on the bar, including bouncer Tad) to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas,” that was amazing. Any bunny can look sexy during a sexy song. But, it’s the bunnies who take the non-sexy songs and make them sexy, those are the special ones… As Mariah’s final words were sung, Taryn, I’m sure, had every male wishing she would end up under their tree…

Until our next night out (which starts in hours)… Hookup wishes and Hangover dreams…
