There are people in our lives whom we think of often with great respect, admiration and love. We call them our friend, our lover, our partner, our husband or wife, our sister or brother, neighbor or acquaintance. But then, if you are lucky, you may know someone whom you can not define. They, in themselves, are the definition without a word or term.

For the the fifth monthly Salon I host at my studio, or in this case six flights up on my rooftop garden, I invited that very person in my life to share a bit of energy, light and song for us all to experience. Justin Bond showered us with a performance that only he could and a friendly reminder of what it means to be a New Yorker.

With love and thanks to Justin Bond and Nath Ann Carrera for a warm August night under the stars which I will never forget. - Matthu Placek

Last week we proudly threw some co-hosting support behind BLVCK AMERICA'S 'BLVCK IS THE NEW BLACK' Chinatown loft party, and set up our new, one-night-only venture, the EVB PRECIOUS MOMENTS PORTRAIT STUDIO in a little room off the dancefloor, with photographer David Kimelman as our man behind the lens. It was Fashion Week here in New York, so of course we supplied a few capital H capital F high fashions from our dress-up box (is that a Renée Couture original? Yes, it is, thanks for asking!), Chinatown and winter appropriate, of course. We put away the camera around 2AM, so what happened after that is anyone's guess, but here are our favorites, snapped before things got out of hand.
