The export from Toronto has become one of NYC&#8217;s top party girls, doing dips at the discos and pulling reimagined looks that even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/rudigernreich\" target=\"_self\">Rudi Gernreich<\/a> would have gagged over. Hanging out at her new weekly party <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/?p=8148\" target=\"_self\">Family Function<\/a> this weekend in NYC must be what a luminous ball of Absinthe Bomb energy, hurling through space feels like, just before stellification. And it&#8217;s the celestial Lady herself who keeps a tight gravitational pull on her cluster of loyal, twinkly followers. &#8220;We keep it all very East Village here. It&#8217;s a no bullshit party&#8230;everybody&#8217;s welcome!&#8221;, says the surprisingly lucid host at around 2am, just before she started twirling towards the Lite Brite dance floor to a genius sample of the Sugarhill Gang&#8217;s <em>Jump On It<\/em>, laid down by resident DJ Michael Magnan. And <em>everybody<\/em> was there, from the massive amounts of stylists, draped in Balenciaga sample sale pieces, to an overly enthusiastic hairstylist from <em>Bumble and bumble<\/em> who chatted me up about the importance of referencing 90&#8217;s house music and how he lived through and for it. Just when it was my turn to clue him in on the fact that I was not a die-hard fan of the four-on-the- floor beat (even though being Black and from Detroit does qualify me), he dumped me for a shirtless buff boy from Barcelona wearing drop crotch capris and a mini spear through his left nipple. Guess that&#8217;s what &#8216;keeping it East Village&#8217; means.
