Kim Hastreiter’s Birthday at the Red Looster
On Friday night, I celebrated my dear friend Kim Hastreiter's (of Paper Magazine) birthday at chef Marcus Samuelsson's newest NYC restaurant - Red Rooster. It's is a revival of the original Harlem speakeasy and made for a great evening of friends, delicious comfort food of southern and African dishes and soulful music that included a live performance by Pink Martini. A fantastic evening of joy. Happy Birthday Kim!

Pink Martini
Have you heard the soulful voice of China from Pink Martini? Fantastic! I am designing a custom scarlet Chiffon gown for her holiday performances in NYC – a new stage look inspired by the sass and sould of Rita Hayworth.

Down Goes the Scooter - Levi’s(R) customer Kendall Ruth
What happens when an SUV cuts off a scooter? That's the first-hand story Levi's® customer Kendall Ruth wrote earlier this month. Needless to say, his blue jeans played a role.
Take it away, Kendall!
I was riding my scooter down Pearl Street in Boulder, Colo. when an SUV turned left in front of me. I had to lay the scooter down and slid for about 20-30 meters before stopping just before the car.
I was wearing my new pair of Levi's® 505s™ at the time.
I'm an emergency first responder and have seen my share of bad accidents and know this one could've been so much worse.
I walked away with abrasions/road-rash and a damaged Macbook. But my Levi's® probably saved my right leg from a visit to the hospital and a lot more damage.
What impressed me was how little the tear in the knee is after such an accident.
Needless to say, my loyalty to your product just went up a few notches.
Attached is a photo of the 505s™ after the accident. You will see the small tear. Pretty durable, I'd say.
Prince William – A Levi’s(R) Guy?
To hear him tell it, Prince William is a Levi's guy.
But his new fiancée, Kate Middleton, says that wasn't the prince's picture on her wall at Scotland's University of St. Andrews. It was the Levi's® guy!
In a televised interview that came on the heels of news that he had proposed and Kate Middleton had accepted, the couple covered a number of topics: where he proposed, how her family responded and, of course, how many kids they're planning, to mention a few.
And while royal family watchers around the world hung on their every word, we particularly liked this funny and friendly exchange:
Prince William: She had 10 or 20 pictures of me up on her wall at university.
Kate: No, it was the Levi's® guy on my wall, not a picture of William. Sorry!
Prince William: It was me in Levi's®.
The playful banter occurred at about 5:40 in on the video interview you'll find here.
