This past Saturday I got to be a part of a marvelous event called Dances of Vice: the Spring Ball. Held on the day of Vernal Equinox, this celebration of spring was held at historical landmark of Venetian Gothic architecture, the Montauk Club. The guests were encouraged to adorn their hair with budding twigs, flowers, horns and antlers, and I have to say this is the first event I’ve seen where every. single. person. was dressed up! An abundance of fairies, fauns, various mythological creatures all decked out in glitter, feathers, brocade… Just total artistic madness! The guests enjoyed music & dance performances, the quaint and the bizarre from vendors on the second floor and, of course, the fashion show.

I was walking the runway for Megan Maude. Megan, a talented designer and a friend of mine, dressed up her girls in fine petticoated dresses & matching head pieces.

My outfit. Yep, that’s a dove in my hair!

Drowning in layers lace and with ringlets bouncing around my head, I felt like a real princess all night. Most importantly, I realized how much I love Megan! She is like my big sister.

On a side note, I totally didn’t expect to be recognized so much!! People knew me from LiveJournal, eBay, for my makeup line of course… I even ran into a couple girls wearing Lime Crime eyeshadows! Ahhh!! I was compelled to walk around and flirt with the crowd by handing out free LC eyeshadows to guests. ;) Can’t wait for the next event!
