THE ARTS styleHOBNOBBINGOne of those lovely Paperless Postemail invitations landed in my inbox recently,but I didn’t know who it was from. I notedthat the party was near Enfield, and thatimmediately made me think of my dearfriend Stephen Rice who also lives nearthere. So I forwarded the invite to Stephen,who responded immediately, telling me theparty was for Gary Schumann, president ofthe Austin LGBT Bar Association, whowas turning 50. Embarrassingly (and asusual), I had no clue whether I’d ever metGary before, but the location on its own toldme that it would be a pretty swank party.Jacki Oh and I dressed to kill, of course,and arrived very fashionably late, but theparty was still swinging. The house itselfwas faaabulous. Formerly the servant’squarters for the Pease mansion, Gary’shouse had been essentially stripped of itsfurniture, and the rooms reimagined as artgalleries, conversation nooks, a speakeasycalled Tiny’s (which was indeed tiny andlocated down this labyrinthine stairway inthe basement), and yes, even acomplete disco with a great DJfrom Dallas, lasers, fogmachines, and lot of camaraderie.Even I was luredonto the dance floor.Me? Dancing? Well, Imust admit that beingas thin as I want andhaving fabulous eveningwearfrom my own collection,I have been nolonger afraid to dance.But between you and me,I’ve actually let loose on thedance floor three times in recentmemory, so something has come overme lately. Gary’s friends Noel Landuyt andKeith Schumann threw the party and20%OFFALL SERVICESTHROUGH 1/31/13by stePHeNAFTER AFASHIONMACMIllANMOseRknocked it out of the ballpark. Good work,boys! And, uh, do keep me on your invite list!MERRY … MARTINISReady to break your New Year’s resolutionabout “moderation?” Well, then do it for agreat cause. On Friday, Jan. 25, 7pm, at 400Congress, Equality Texas presents its annualthree-sheets-to-the-wind Merry MerryMartini Mixer (www.merrymartinimixer.org),with this year’s theme being Rock theCasbah. This very well-attended event is inits ninth year (have I been to all of them?)and raises money for Equality Texas to continueto bring a LGBT voice to the Texas legislature.In the past, Equality Texas was victoriousin getting hate crimes and anti-bullyinglegislation in Texas. The agenda for 2013includes a fight for employment non-discriminationand fair adoption practices. So whilethese subjects weigh heavily on our minds, ajoyous get-together should definitely be onyour list. Martinis, anyone?DESIGN WHINEI’m so confused about what to do withmy clothing design work. I’d laidpretty low since my fashionshow in November; frankly Iwas unprepared for the successof it. I was trulyblown away by it all. Notthat I don’t like attention,but it’s easier for me toaccept the attention fromwriting and dressing in anover-the-top fashion.Attention for something forwhich I’d reached deepinside and manifested is a differentmatter entirely. It was thrilling,yes – but also unsettling, since I’ddecided long ago that I didn’t want to returnto that part of my life.
