| Nylon Tries a Sexed-Up Circus |
|
| The invitation that went out to advertising, media and fashion people called Nylon's fifth anniversary party at Marquee a "Black-Tie Carnival." But at the event itself we saw more blondes in tube tops than tuxedos. It was that kind of party: The arty fashion magazine brought in a stiltwalker, a juggler, and cotton candy and popcorn stands (all from New York Fun Factory) to give the event at a circus-like feeling, and some burlesque-style performers made the event into a sort of carnal carnival. Women in full Vegas showgirl regalia and beefy boys in G-strings, wooly-looking chaps and horns on their foreheads tried very hard to look sexy. (The risque performers came from Mantasia, an outfit that puts together male burlesque shows at Show and calls itself "bachelorette party headquarters" on its Web site.) |

"We were going with indulgences," Nylon editorial coordinator Rena Fischler, who planned the event, told us. "We wanted to do something outrageous."
Aside from the circus-inspired fare, the cocktail tables were loaded with candy, and the showgirls put out mini tarts from Veneiro's on top of a beefy model in skimpy skivvies. (Indulgent? Maybe. Sexy or sanitary? Not so much.) And outside a hot dog stand gave guests on the way in a glimpse of what was to come, and offered those on the way out some post-drinking nourishment for the cab ride home.
