Founder and main dude at Fashion Indie, Daniel Saynt began his career in fashion at the tender age of 14, when he worked in the stockroom for some unnamed fashion whorehouse. His distaste for the mainstream quickly festered until he decided enough was enough, denouncing all mainstream fashion lines (unless the stuffs on sale or just down right irresistible or free, you can't say no to free).

Sinners & Saynt: Super Zeroes at the MET



-->

Armani

 

The MET Costume bash is tonight. And I could give a flying rats ass.

Yes, I’m bitter cause I’m feeling like a total Zoe (spread it like wildfire indies: Zoe - to be excluded as in Rachel Zoe’s dis-invite to the MET ball by matron Anna Wintour).  Like a true fashion lover, I am excited by the lure of events that are only for the fashion elite and if my invite had showed up weeks ago (or through some magical courier service tonight from the desk of Anna Wintour with a personal note saying “Can’t Wait to See You Tonight, Saynt. P.S. Here’s a thousand bucks to make yourself pretty”) then without a doubt, the tone of this Sinners & Saynt tonight would be very different (I’m thinking it would be a more “Haha, bitches guess who’s going without you losers”-ish, but I’m only guessing). But alas, no invite came and I’m stuck watching the festivities from the sidelines, which got me thinking. Why in the fuck should any self respecting individual care about a party they aren’t invited to?

Suddenly, I had a bunch of flashbacks from my days in elementary school. I remembered Rooney Dutchman, the middle school cool kid who through some miracle of modern hormonal imbalancing had a six pack in fifth grade. Rooney used to throw the coolest parties and I was never invited. For three years Rooney was the man. He’d throw big huge bashes at the end of the school year and it seemed everyone was there, except me. Year after year, I was excluded until one year when Rooney was throwing his biggest bash yet, an end of middle school party, I got invited. We were headed for High School and Rooney wanted to end the time in Monroe-Woodbury Junior High right.

I  was more excited than I had ever been. I forced my parents to drive me to Abercrombie & Fitch to pick up a new outfit (hell, it was Upstate NY cut me a break). I got a haircut, picked up new shoes, and got to the party right on time. Hour One. About 20 people arrived and began drinking from pitchers of Koolaid and checking out Rooney’s Star Wars collection. Hour Two. Rooney finally decides to put on music but has no good CDs. Times were dark before the iPod. Hour Three. MTV goes on.  A Real World Marathon. For the first time I contemplate suicide. Hour Four. Some chick high on Grape Ice Pops decides that we should all play Truth or Dare. Finally the festivities begin. Hour Five. Realizing we are surrounded by the biggest group of prudes in the world, we end our game of Truth or Dare. It is revealed that no one has a crush on me and that “give me a BJ” is not an appropriate dare request. Hour Six. Parents arrive to pick me up, but not before hearing a mouthful from Rooney’s mom about my “daring” request.

All in all, the party I was so excited to attend sucked.  So basically, everyone and their still in the closet brother are all excited about the Costume Ball, which is probably just a modern day version of a Rooney Dutchman party. A whole bunch of hype, but a total bore to all in attendance.

  1. Oh you sad sad old man!!! You know that if you were invited you would be getting your neck shaved and waxing your balls (just like you did for the Gucci event that you claimed you didn’t care about but still haven’t stopped raving about). So bitter isn’t sexy, and Anna will not be pleased, so stop the complaining and claim that Cinqo de Mayo is more your kind of cup of margarita (you being hispanical and all). Plus, it’s the fashion event of the year, and the rsvp list is filled with ‘who’s who’ and I personally would kill to go, so cut the crap and admit you haven’t hit it big yet.

    Hope I wasn’t too harsh, cuz I still have to marry you some time next year…

  2. I’ll Zoe your ass in a heartbeat if I ever get invited.

  3. You know what…Since you didn’t bring me to the Gucci and event (and all I got was a crappy Gucci Loves NY bag that has now completely depreciated on Ebay) I won’t expect an invite to the Met, but most likely I would get an invite before YOU anyway! I’m nicer and more liked by people (according to recent comments on your intelligence). Plus you being bitter isn’t going to get us invited, although…

  4. Haha. Worked before. And the only reason that Gucci bags been depreciated is cause you parade it around town on your forehead. “Oh, why yes, this is the limited edition Gucci bag that has been sold out for weeks. How ever did you know? Could it have been the millions Frida spent on promoting the glorified medicine bag?”

    P.S. I take the title of Local Idiot with pride. Great stupid pride.

  5. So now I get blamed for ‘parading’ around with my ‘one of a kind’ Gucci bag that you didn’t want me to auction off. Great you f…ing hypocrite. And you are just jealous that your Louis isn’t as cool as my ‘medicine bag.’ One day, the bandaids I carry in there will be highly useful.

  6. Oh, and local idiot isn’t something to be proud of. Neither is being called ‘provincial.’
