Quartersnacks does New York Fashion Week


The brutal nature of an East Coast winter will cause most New York City skaters to gravitate toward places of warmth that serve alcohol and have beautiful women. This winter has been no different. With all the blizzards we've had and brutal nights of excruciatingly low temperatures it is safe to say that we've needed to find other ways to occupy ourselves. Starting last week we had New York Fashion Week to immerse ourselves in. Some might ridicule this as being uncharacteristic of skaters but that is simply wrong. With fun parties like the Purple Magazine Party at the Boom Boom Room it is safe to say that the winter has become less painful. I did not go because I was not up to it but as evidenced above on The Cobra Snake the Quartersnacks team was in full effect. From what I hear of it drinks were drankcelebrities were sighted, and good times were had.

Guest of a Guest covered the event here. The post is primarily picture heavy but based upon the scarcity of text and choice of photographic subjects it is safe to say that the fashion of the party attendees was the focus. The overall attitude of guest a guest it seems is to let the reader feel as if they have attended a party themselves. Between recounts of the night from friends and photos on Purple Diary and Guest of a Guest, it feels like I was there. Guest of a guest does a good job at covering parties by using photographs as a way of conveying the general mood of the evening. In some cases the provocative nature of the photos may lead you to believe that you missed a night of debauchery, the photos of the Purple Magazine party seemed relatively tame.
