fresh FRESH fresh!!!

So Friday was the BEST night of 2009...hands down. THE SUPER CW PARTY AT FRESH CAFE. (Yes, if you follow me on twitter and friends with me on FB, then YES i'm repeating myself.) Started off with a definite, and MUCH needed bang, `cause CW knows how to throw a DAMN party and to start things off, the Deadbeats KILLED it on stage with a great, and never-gets-old, performance. After a brief interlude of mad beats, and fresh tunes of DJ Eskae, he threw in a great intro by Sam Sharpo that started off the Fashion Show, ending with "The Reeling" by Passion Pit. Whether you were actually there or not, here's some footage to relive or catch up with:

Mahina in T-Back Kimono Dress.

Justine in Racer Back Tank & High Waisted Paper Bag waist skirt.

Rain in Paper Back waist shorts with lumberjack peek-a-boo pockets; Sueded Knit slouchy top, and reversable fur frontier hat.

Krista in a familiar piece, the Romper.

Kiani in the apparently favored piece of the night: The Metallic Gold Paper Bag waist skirt.

Rain in yet another familiar piece; the black and white poncho.

Mahina in faux fur pelt, slouchy tank, textured harems; Erica in cropped motor, fingerless gloves, and velour harems.

Erica (here, the harems.)

**And all models also sported Jewelry designed and handmade by Trunnk Jewelry designer, Katlin Taosaka. She also took these Photos.

The latter continued with sick performances by the JumpOffs and the Girlfriends, and continuing on with DJ Eskae and DJ Nicky Savage to spin the rest of the night away....

BIG THANKS TO CHRISTA WITTMIER (SUPERCW); TIFFANY TANAKA of FRESH CAFE; GROUND UP PIRATES/AGENCY; Make Up Artists RYAN CAMACHO AND CHRISTA WONG; and EVERYONE WHO MADE THE NIGHT POSSIBLE!!!

There is more footage to be added. Check back as I will be updating as much as I can....

PEAS.
