These Were Their Stories

Every evening in this city, an identical and inquisitive refrain is applicable. Tell me baby, what's your story… Where you come from and where you wanna go this time… (And yes, those are lyrics from something)…

Upon my arrival for the G&Co Spring Fashion Showcase, Sugar Bar’s exterior was crushed. It’s not as if other venues arrivals are not protracted, but they sweep their swarm out of sight through a series of ropes… The visual of four dozen potential patrons, talking and texting, standing in the open air in a parade which consumes more than a block is the signature and most unique aspect of Sugar Bar…

Since I mentioned signature, unique, and visual, I must discuss Sugar Bar Promotions Superstars Jen Excellence and Molly Style whose apparel and personalities are perfect compliments (especially on this evening)… Dressed in Christian Audigier print and white, Jen and Molly appeared the polar opposite of their typical attire (black)… However, Jen’s staccato sniping and Molly’s subtle supportiveness were evocative of why they are intoxicating conversations…

Approximately fifteen minutes after my arrival, I entered into the centerpiece attraction of the evening, Promotions Superstar Randee Limelight’s venue premiere… Her section was swarmed… I will discuss it’s composition in a moment, but I must mention this initially… No other section was… The dance floor was scattered… The upper and lower mezzanines were vacant… Clearly, Randee’s initial hour was a success… But, success has diverse definitions…

As for the composition, bunnies and randoms were surprisingly even… Why surprisingly? If you ever meet Randee (and if you have the opportunity, seize it), she exudes the allure of someone who spends their evenings surrounded by platinum bunnies… Potentially, these were my expectations only, but when I arrived, I expected a crush of platinum bunnies… Randee was the only one…

Not that I am opposed to her individual perfection, which trust me was visible this evening… Dressed in platinum with sequins (and yes, the platinum bunny chose the dress for the person who originated the phrase), Randee appeared more scrumptious and stunning than I have ever witnessed… I know I reference eighteen or thirty-six carats when discussing bunnies, but I cannot when discussing her… Randee’s exquisiteness is simply incomprehensible…

I know what you’re thinking… My reaction to her is favorable… My reaction to her promotion is unfavorable… You would be incorrect… My reaction to her is favorable, but my reaction to her promotion is also favorable… This was her premiere… She performed adequately and her performance will improve… If she had crushed the venue in her opening act, the only second act would be failure…

Speaking of second acts, you may remember I scorched Zachary Sin’s Red Planet Fashion Show… Tonight, G&Co redeemed Sin… The collection was not perfect… The showcase itself lagged… However, Red Planet’s completely calamity was avoided… G&Co exhibited several superb pieces, which should own this summer’s style…

The collection’s signature combination was a gorgeous white top, casual enough to work as date attire, versatile enough to work as office attire… The model who wore the ensemble rivaled Randee as the prize bunny of the evening… Perfect structure, perfect hair, and a face, which any artist could not have replicated…

While the women’s collection contained three other notable pieces, I must focus on the men’s collection, not for it’s acceptable constitution, but for the male models who once again with their antics, reflected poorly on their employers… Male models, keep your freaking shirts on… We all know you have abs… Abs are likely how you became a male model… Also, you are walking the runway at a fashion show… Some of us (and I mean me) want to judge the fashion (not your porn prospects)…

Tonight, a half dozen stories were presented within a three-hour period… Half were what we expected… Half have opportunities to re-present in the future… The only question is where will they go next time?
