The result is a limited edition collection that will be showcased starting on the 8th for a show called “Bond Age”.

Naughty fashionista’s can find pieces inspired by spanking, voyeurism, and a little S&M at Oak. Be sure to head to the premiere party to get a little extra dirty with cocktails from Belvedere Vodka.

Its OK, Don’t Look at the Road Opening Reception

“Its OK, Don’t Look at the Road” photographs by Nick Zinner Its OK, Dont Look at the Road Opening Reception fashion

Do you remember the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs? I barely do. They kind of went mainstream, then disappeared and I think their flipping Burgers at the King. Well one Yeah to the third member refuses to fade into the shadows. Nick Zinner, guitarist of the emo/goth/punkish band is hosting a gallery exhibit feature poorly shot photos from his time on tour. I would care if I hadn’t already seen this shit done a million times before by party photographers like Merlin. If you still can’t seem to get Maps out of your head, the head over. Other than that it doesn’t look to promising.

Opening Reception
7 to 10 pm
Fuse Gallery
93 2nd Ave (between 5th & 6th Sts)

free and open to the public.
