Two-week recap

12.13.05

New Year's Resolution (s): live like a lady (not like a pig), get my wisdom teeth pulled, and update Cha Cha Charming more often. I've been scolded by a few readers for slacking off over the past couple of months, and I apologize. I'll begin the two-week recap with today— seven little BUST girls working under below-freezing conditions (just incase you thought it was as a "dress as your favorite homeless person" contest, in which case Tracie would've won). Introducing the BUST girls in all their hot glory......

Left to right: Emily (managing editor), Elizabeth (senior designer), Laurie (art director/ publisher), me (marketing coordinator), Tracie (fashion editor), Debbie (editor-in-chief/ publisher), Anna (our newest intern from Gothenburg, Sweden), and a family of camera-shy mice.

The night before a bunch of us took beloved BUST intern (and my adorable marketing assistant) Rachel out for her last night in New York City, before she begins her journey to the White House. Rachel is BUST's official nominee for the White House come 2035.

Left to right: Sara, Rachel, Sheila, Vikki sipping gin-loaded cocktails mixed with fresh kiwis, blackberries, and grapes at my favorite secret speak easy.

Then there's the Ark—Swedish glam rockers and my current obsession. Their live shows are not to be missed. I was miserable two hours before their gig, and couldn't stop smiling two hours after. Magic.

And..... the ladies lead the night at Smashed! Blocked! on December 2nd with Anna Copacabana and naughty J-girl Jaiko Suzuki providing the shimmies and shakes. I think it was one of my best DJ sets ever—made me wanna swear off all music post-1969. But then I remember the unforgettable Kid Robot party where I played '70s bubblegum pop and Cyndi Lauper's "Goonies R Good Enough" (which made one boy cry).

And just before I go...... BUST is throwing a mega event this Saturday December 17th at the Warsaw in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
