Last night at Don Hill’s, the unpretentiously pretentious Soho performance space, the fashion meter jumped so fast, it broke. House of Dieh’s 2009 Style Wars, was so hot we nearly ripped off our Gap jeans and LL Bean overcoat, wrapped ourselves in toilet paper and aluminum foil, and vamped the miniature runway. Indeed, the competition, judged by Jenny Shimizu and other second-tier mini-celeb, burned the runway to a crisp. Baby designers had 4 ½ minutes to dress a model, and they did so with astonishing results. Our faves: the girl with the NBA-sized paper ball on her head, the girl with plastic glasses and cardboard box skirt, the wire-hanger dress, the club’s wallpaper, and the praying mantis mannequin.
Least fave: Rob Schneider’s brief, dorky visit in a suede, fur-lined vest.
Yeah!

We don’t like bars. We don’t particularly like beer. Despite some recent hormonal imbalances, we’re not even sure we like football. Yet tonight we discovered Dewey’s Flatiron, a sports bar chockfull o’ feng shui — the kind that makes you feel all warm and chicken soupy. It didn’t matter that NFL Ken Doll, Tom Brady led the Patriots to yet another post-season victory, eliminating the Cinderella Chargers, or that some of the bar’s intoxicated patrons kept hugging us, even though [...]
