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

i recently visited Chateau Thomas Winery (IN) to get some shots for NUVO Newsweekly's Neighborhoods Guide - my mum and i enjoyed some friendly folks and some fiiiine {sweet} wine!
MMmmMmMmm ...

Farebridge Fotos at the Fountain (Square, Indianapolis)

Farebridge and i finally got it together for their "official" band photoshoot last Sunday. We wanted some place edgy but fun, with plenty of variety - for plenty of delightful photo opps. I recommended Fountain Sq. so - on the 2nd most gorgeous Sunday of 2008 thus far, we traveled to the outskirts of Indianapolis for some shots {and some $5 shakes - like in Pulp Fiction (still overpriced either way)}.

It was a wicked success! Hope you enjoy browsing the pics as much as I enjoyed taking+editing 'em!

Farebridge Concert-o

so i'm shooting this adorable band that calls itself Farebridge - but before our "official" band shoot, i attended one of their concerts last weekend at a church in Brownsburg, IN.

the acoustics were awful, the band rocked the chapel!

Later the evening we enjoyed some scrumptious Oreo truffles ::sigh::.
