GLAM DAMN IT
Shecky's Holiday Night Out

New York City is covered in snow, which leaves us with two choices: to haul out our boots and fur coats, or to download as many movies as possible and order takeout until the New Year. I actually chose to do both, and was quite surprised by the traffic I saw in the streets of Soho and West Village. In fact, remind me to email Marc Jacobs about the chaotic lines outside his Bleecker accessories store. Yet, I am delighted to see that so many people are shopping for fashion in such nasty weather. Nonetheless, the Joonbug crew had a little shopping of their own to do this past weekend. Friday was the evening to be downtown at the Shecky's Holiday Night Out event - a somewhat secretive traveling shopping event, filled with vendors and complimentarily cocktails. With such a massive crowd, I did two things instantly: I ran to the restroom to check my hair and then ran to the back to see if I could find Balmain at 99% off. Though I was fooled by the crowd, I was pleasantly pleased with the cute and delicate vendors; every one had its own personal story to what they were doing or selling. Items ranged from jewelry to graphic tees and from spa facials to Chi flat irons.
