LAST NIGHT’S PARTY(S): Rad Hourani, Rose Bar, The Gates, Tenjune, The Griffin, And Mickey Rourke!

Edited by Hillary Frazier

You all know after my millions of mentionings about the Rad Hourani event at the SoHo Grand Hotel last night that we were there, but here’s all of the juicy details and crazy stories from the night, because you know it isn’t a Fashion Indie night if there isn’t a story!

Corey and I started out in SoHo around 7, and ran into his friend Marilynn at the Grand.  After a few pink cocktails and a conversation with Kelly Cutrone about her selected footwear for workouts (cowboy boots),  we sorted out our itinerary for the rest of the night, hopped in a cab and headed to Rose Bar.  Apparently you can’t get in to Rose Bar without a reservation at the hotel after 9PM, and this was 9:30. Not a big deal considering the amount of places we knew for the night, so we headed to the Gates where our friends at Red Hot PR were hosting a party. I was told “it’s someone’s birthday party and then there’s some fashion party afterwards”…fashion? We’re in.

Hello Nole Marin! Nole made an appearance at the Gates last night (with his mother), and couldn’t stop staring at Corey, crush maybe? Or maybe he was considering a Corey finger puppet.  When the open bar ended, we’d met all sorts of people, and I had done my good deed by escorting in a guy on the street (only because the line was really long and he knew who Nole Marin was and that he was inside, this is someone that I want at a fashion party!), we headed over to Griffin. Who’s that we see?!

Mickey Rourke! And yes, he really does look like that in person.  Apparently Marilynn already knew the Mckster, and he told us he was going to the Griffin too, just not right then. We headed down to Tenjune, and apparently I look 12 so they didn’t want to let me in. Hi, I’m 21 not 12 Tenjune, and let me just tell you that all of those old men that are in there? They’d love me. I’ll get to that more later.  

So after being at Tenjune for a whole five minutes, we’d had more than we could stand and headed back towards Griffin and found ourselves at the center of the club, inches away from Mikey Rourke. Drinks were flowing, but not that heavily, we promise mom, and the live band was playing some good salsa music (I’ll have to get the photos from Marilynn of us dancing on the table in the middle of the club? haha), and then the night went down hill. Naturally, Mikey Rourke wouldn’t go out alone, he’d bring his manager and/or body guard to party alongside him and ‘pick up the slack,’ if you catch my drift. And that’s what they did.

A middle-aged man, maybe the same age as my dad, told me that he wanted to kidnap me…no, correction, he was GOING to kidnap me. Dude, I know I look 12, but I’m not a kid, you can’t kid-nap me. Luckily, we were inside of a loud, crowded club and it was easy to get lost in translation, so I went to my friends so they could save the day, and must’ve scared off the man three times my size and over twice my age. Well, almost. He found Marilynn and kidnapped her.

Round two, outside of the Griffin. 47-year-old man with a grey shag hairdo pins 21-year-old barely 5’0 and less than 100 lb girl in a corner. Am I supposed to think you’re cool because you manage Mickey Rourke, are just as old, and just as unattractive as he is? No, I don’t want to hook up with you. Ever. I’d rather throw up on myself. Somehow managed to run away, find Corey and say “we have to get out of here, NOW.” Problem is, where is Marilynn? “oh, she must be at the apartment,” says creepy old man. An hour or so later we finally save Marilynn, and walk to the train to go home (seeing as well all have to work in the morning). 5am, after falling asleep twice on the train and missing my stop, I decided to take a cab home, then slept on my futon using a towel as a blanket. 

Moral of the story: Stay away from old men.

Point of the story: MIKEY ROURKE’S MANAGER TRIED TO MAKE OUT WITH ME. EW.

Quotable: “Where the fuck are you?! You’re just going to leave without saying goodbye?” -Creepy Manager

Synopsis: Corey and I are very tired today, but promise to keep you entertained with our nightlife escapades this weekend!

Wouldn’t it be nice to sleep in an extra 20 minutes every morning and wake up to the perfect outfit, accessories and all, laid out next to a freshly brewed upside-down soy carmel macchiato? Yeah, I think I’ve had a personal fashion stylist on my Christmas list for about six years now…well Santa, I’m getting old over here! Since you probably don’t have the cash for a stylist and you still want some say-so in your wardrobe, here are a few fashion experts that can give you a hand. All you need is an open mind and an open wallet!

TIM GUNN: Be honest, who doesn’t love fashion consultant and Project Runway mentor Tim Gunn? As the chair of fashion design at Parsons The New School For Design and host of Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style, it is safe to say that this man really knows his fashion shtik. Gunn’s fashion advice always leads to the polished and classy. He’ll help you accentuate your features, hide your flaws and “make it work.”

NOLE MARIN: Former jude on America’s Next Top Model and current editor/stylist for Elle, Nole Marin too has a leg up on the industry. The guy has even worked with the average Joe, providing fashion advice and makeovers for desperate teens on MTV’s Made. Marin might not be the most edgy stylist out there, but he knows what is current and he knows how to style the average body.

MISS J. ALEXANDER: Sometimes it is hard to take Miss J seriously, a grown man in makeup, pigtails and sometimes stilettos, but as runway coach, judge and consultant on America’s Next Top Model, his advice is always spot on. He might be cocky and brash, but Miss J knows what women look good in and how they should “work it.” Trust his attitude, a confident look is always the best look.

RACHEL ZOE: If your goal is to look like a celebrity, then Rachel Zoe is the stylist for you. Noted for working with prominent celebrities like Cameron Diaz, Mischa Barton and Demi Moore as well as her Bravo TV show, The Rachel Zoe Project, Zoe has all tips for glamour and sophistication.

CRISTINA EHRLICH AND ESTEE STANLEY: You may not have heard of them, but this duo may very well be the most demanded stylists in the celebrity scope. They’ve made Penelope Cruz and Nicole Richie look like a million bucks, but even so, they know how to dress on a budget. Take their expertise and pay attention to details, buy high quality classic pieces, wear a variety of silhouettes and build off of a simple piece.
