The Rix Mix: Guest Post: The View from behind the Velvet Rope at NYFW Nightlife

From my fabulous sister. Jealousy sets in right about now.....

The View from behind the Velvet Rope at NYFW Nightlife

I am a lucky girl and get to say that I actually LOVE what I do. Working in PR for Syndicate Media Group I have been exposed to some pretty amazing events through our luxury clientele.

I started off my second NYFW on Saturday night at the new bar Mister H, located in the swank Mondrian SoHo (opening on March 1)for Prabal Gurung’s after party. It was 20 degrees and I was ill equipped in a black shift dress and heeled booties at the door - not my definition of fun, but with Mia Moretti spinning the party I quickly realized that dancing would be the best remedy for the chill. Check out this Refinery29 post about it to see the notables.

*My favorite was J.Crew’s Jenna Lyons’ who was my BFF for a hot sec as we gushed over girl power and how we love being tall

Sunday night was a low key dinner at the Penthouse at Hudson Hotel hosted by Tara Hoffman. Chloe Sevigny was supposed to show but sadly didn’t….Notables: Arden Wohl, Tara Subkoff, Waris Ahluwalia, Natasha Lyonne

Fast forward to Tuesday and we have the mother of all 2011 NYFW parties. VMan hosts its February Cover Party at the Mondrian SoHo which also doubled as the unofficial celebration of Alexander Wang’s SoHo store opening. This door was not as peachy for me, as I had my OWN bodyguard to keep guests from trampling me over. I lived but my ego was a little bruised by some harsh words via party crashers. My job at the door is to spot all notables and VIPs to ensure that they get in without having to wait. Guess what? EVERYONE in NYC thinks they are a VIP, haha - NOT the case.
