Had an awesome time at the Michael Habachy Event on Friday, September 9th. I came across this invite by chance - a co-worker forwarded me a very busy email filled with events in the Midtown area, and after sifting through all the crap on the email I picked this one out. It was titled Fashion's Night Out with Midtown Pop Up Shops, featuring The Collective by Michael Habachy. The little section (in the busy email) on Michael Habachy intrigued me so much to want to attend, and I am glad I did. Plus, this was at the 999 Peachtree Gallery that I have been looking for an excuse to visit.
Swanky and fashionable people made the rounds along with aspiring artists/models, jewelry designers and of course, us Midtown folks. There was free food (which was good Turkish food but cold as ice) and wine from Cakebread cellars. There was also vodka but I didn't really notice that until later. I had a blast mingling, chatting, interacting, however you choose to term the art of chatting while enjoying quirky art, that's what I did. I had so much wine that I fear I must have made a fool of myself in front of the fashionably elite. Plus, I was not prepared to be in their company.
Word of advice to all those who dare to venture out alone - be prepared.
Dress like there's a party going on and you are the host to this exclusive event. Because being alone you are apt to be stared at for having a "Negative One" when everyone else has a "Plus One" and more. So if they are going to stare and make you the center of attention, my goodness then, you must look good, you must look very good. You must look so good that it causes them to compliment something about your look, perhaps your dress, your nails, your hair, by all means your shoes, and of course your posture, anything and from there, that begins the conversation. That's your opener, the icebreaker, the key to ignite their interest in you and much more...and once you get their interest, there you have it, make the best of it...and hopefully if you are (unlike) me you will not be too wasted to make good on that conversation.
There's the Solo Tip I should probably remember for myself, pretty obvious from this picture.
