Mixology @ the Eiteljorg

The Eiteljorg (Indianapolis) was a-buzz (literally) during "Mixology," sponsored by Canadian Mist. I covered this event for www.nuvo.net and learned all sorts of new things about being a master drink mix-stress (woot!).
For the "official" slideshow of the event and more info www.nuvo.net (photos).


as mixology students, we learned ALL sorts of ways to mix the whiskey-esque alcohol, Canadian Mist (ooh - aah).




Not only did we get cheap drinks but f-a-b hors d'oeuvres - YUM.


and the dessert table was even BETTER! ;)


The "Mixologist" expert taught us about the history of alcohol and how to best mix with Canadian Mist ::yawn::. The best part was when he handed out his concoctions to lucky audience members/students!




mixing and mingling at the Canadian Mist bar. All of us attendees got 2 drinks for just 5 bucks - not too shabby!

menagerie '08

i should have posted this at least a month ago, but, you know how it goes ...
so if you know me, you know i simply ADORE ABSURD+art+beauty.
WELL, my dear friend amber and i visited an art gallery in Indy called Menagerie ...

MENAGERIE - the venue.


glamming it UP pre-menagerie gallery - me 'n' amb-tastic.


can i get this in a size ... ? ;)


i have a foot fetish when i have my cam on me ... ;)


loverly ...




i couldn't resist snapping this little woman ... :)



art? or a teenie tiny mertle-turtle with a canon strategically placed on it's teeny shell back? {you decide}



another fab artsy chick @ menagerie (pomp chick's pal :)). loved them both - they had fly style!



the most RAD chick we met at menagerie - she definitely had the foxiest/only pomp in the joint!



i enjoy random crotch shots rather a lot - JK - just another random snap worth sharing (or so i thought).


creepy 'n' funky appeal.


amb-tastic, driving us back after the show (we left fashionably early) - pipe in tow, of course!


post menager shinangians @ amb-tastic's apt. her pipe is just too old-man-chic!


until next time ... keep it snappy, baby - yeah!

Evening of Irish: Dinner at the Claddaugh

my mum and i enjoyed as close to an irish feast as we could (without being IN ireland) at the claddaugh pub @ metropolis.

the best, creamiest spinachy/artichoke dip - soft 'n' crispy fries/aka: chips - goooey sandwiches and baileys 'n' coffee sent us soaring off to a gluttenous heaven (where i'd hope to run into some true irish blokes - the only thing lacking during our claddaugh visit - ha).

FASHION {turn to the left!}

i covered the Midwest Fashion Week fall/winter 08 "Sacrifice" fashion show for NUVO NEWSWEEKLY Friday Mar. 28th - the grand finale of the spring installation of Midwest Fashion Week www.midwestfashionweek.com.
the show was at the hilton downtown and it was fab, indeed.

i snapped away like crazy, whilst drooling over the numerous little numbers i'd LOVE to wear myself. ;)
the designs were unique, flashy, classy and, above all, couture at it's finest - well, at least as far as Indianapolis is concerned.
you can check out my review of the show, along with more of my photos at www.nuvo.net, but here are some other highlights from the fashionable evening ...

chic Irish [pub] faire
