MEMORY LANE:
WORLD OF STYLE IN THE NEWS! New York City mayoral candidate Reverend Billy swapped his trademark white suit for our electric-blue '80s tuxedo, as seen in the New York Times! The LAST HURRAH! We held a crazy '50s-themed party for the last JC Friday in World of Style Vintage's boutique closing. It was the living end! ART OPENING: "WHO SAYS THE 20TH CENTURY IS DEAD?" This opening reception was a wild time, featuring Pin-The-Tail-On-The-Donkey, Little Debbies and the JC Fire Department along with Lina Haskel’s photographs of Neo-Rockabillies and Jon Hammer’s paintings of swell old saloons. "PAGAN WINTER WONDERLAND!" The December '08 JC Friday saw WOSV and Balance Salon celebrating the Winter Solstice with a pagan fashion show and an art opening for Megan Gulick's "Something Fishy" series of paintings. See pix on our MySpace page! ARTISTS STUDIO TOUR '08! It was a wild weekend, all right...we debuted a new exhibit of drawings by Jersey City artist Hamlet Manzueta, had a boffo a Coney Island Sideshow fashion show on Saturday AND DJ Johnny Astronaut was spinning tunes all day Sunday! "FRACTURED FAIRY TALES!" The September '08 JC Friday was a particularly festive one...our fairytale-based fashion show was a hit, Mayor Healy and his entourage came to give us and Balance Salon an award for civic fabulousness, (and he bought the velvet smoking jacket pictured on this page). The band All Mobbed Up gave us a live rockabilly show outside on the sidewalk! JC PRIDE '08! It was super-fabulous naturally, and our Model Squad gleefully added to the festivities. Every year, Jersey City Pride just gets bigger and better! JCLGO PATIO PARTY! It was another fab Summer Social with our fun-loving friends from the Jersey City Lesbian-Gay Outreach.The "Buy The Clothes Off My Back" charity auction supporting the Joan Moore Children's Art Fund was a success, and all were wowed by a stunning performance by Zondra Foxx!!
WELCOME TO THE FUNHOUSE! Another spectacular JC Fridays fashion show and art opening here at World of Style/Balance Salon! Our circus fashion featured psychedelic clowns, exotic dancers, acrobats, the Bearded Lady and more! Oh, the fun we had.
VINTAGE PAJAMA PARTY! We sported the ultimate in "business casual" one Saturday, working in our jammies!
WORK-IN-YOUR-UNDIES DAY! One random Saturday found us celebrating the engineering marvels of vintage lingerie by wearing these instruments of lifting and shaping as we worked...outside our street clothes, of course.
"SCARY PUPPETS:" A MUSICAL FASHION SHOW! We and our roommates at Balance Salon staged a way-out fashion show of living vintage puppets. Even the guests got into the act--almost everyone had a puppet face that night!
