DJHERE | FRIDAYS | Hard Rock

sneak peak …

DJhere has been lucky enough to “open up” some of the big venues as the first Promoter brought on board on a weekend night. From On Broadway & Aubergine a long time ago, to Stingaree & the Ivy more recently. Well it looks like they are doing something right. The “under-new-management” Hard Rock has asked DJhere to join them for the infamous Sunday Pool Parties, which start in a couple weeks, as well as taking their FRIDAYS to the next level.

Join us for our first Friday, FRIDAY APRIL 10TH. Our goal, “to make Fridays fun again”. take beautiful people, amazing dj’s, the Twins at the door, and a cool/fun/eclectic vibe that down town has been lacking for sometime ….

Budget is THE NEW BLACK

Why would a promoter who is supposed to sell excess even mention a word that is about as conducive with bottle service as Target is with Cartier?  Because excess isn’t excess if everyone’s doing it – meaning in the last 3 or so years – everyone was a mortgage broker, real estate investor, or stock market millionaire…or so they thought. NEWS FLASH: now we are in reality, not then. Every swanky club out there, and some not so swanky, sold every table in the house; if they ran out, they would be happy to sell you a fold-out card table hosted by a car model who treated you like you were at the DMV.

Well those days are, THANK FUCKING GOD, over. Most of the bottle service girls now ARE the holy trinity – hot, smart and nice. Door and VIP hosts alike are happy to have your business and are actually willing, sometimes, to negotiate. Indeed, all that glitters isn’t gold and necessity really is the mother of invention. Clubs, like the real world, do need to offer good service, DJ’s do need to spin fun, energetic sets from the heart…and promoters really do need to offer not only an amazing crowd, but all the nuance that makes one venue magically better than the one next door.

The pendulum has swung back, for now at least, to what’s really beautiful, interesting and unique.  So as Hummers and Ed Hardy fade away and the line between Metro and Douchebag narrows…the silver lining is the blossoming of something so rare in the “scene”…creativity and art.

Actually having a budget is now not only cool, but ironically will remake the whole “industry”…for the better.

a true Super Model …

Carmen Dell’ Orefice has been a model since, well, longer than anyone reading this blog has been alive. the amazing thing is she is still the epitome of class, beauty and poise. just take a look at this Rolex ad she did well into her 70′s … yes, her seventies (for those right brained people).

take a moment and click on her name (link/name above) and listen to an interview she just did on NPR. it gave some solace, comfort, and most of all offered a well needed dose of realism this recessionary world has strangely lacked for some time … and how true fashion comes from within and celebrates your individuality. its not about, what this author likes to call “the star bellies” and fighting desperately to look exactly like everyone around you.
