Fashion Week 2009 is gearing up already with model casting this Saturday (Nov. 15) from 2-5 p.m. at the Art Institute (get out there, beautiful people). In other fashion news, Cynthia Rowley (designer to the stars and Target dinnerware diva) is opening a new boutique on King Street next week, and she will be at [...]

SCENE: Art for Dance Gala

No uglies at CBT fund-raiser
Ballerinas, artists, and diamond-clad socialites rubbed elbows at Thursday night’s Art for Dance Gala at Lowndes Grove Plantation. It was originally planned as a Great Gatsby-themed party back in hurricane season, but they rescheduled, and were blessed with an unseasonably warm November night. Fish Restaurant had three food stations set [...]

Celadon Warehouse Sale Saturday

Ultra-chic local home store Celadon is one of those stores that if you want your house to look like a magazine, all you have to do is buy everything there. Walking around the store, you’re struck by how adorable everything is — maybe that’s why you voted it the best furniture store in town last [...]

Free Fashion Show Tonight

Soak up this warm weather and head to the Rooftop Bar at Vendue Inn for a free fashion show tonight (Thurs. Nov. 6) previewing Tommy Bahama’s new holiday collections. Guests will enjoy apps and cocktails while checking out the models and island-inspired sportswear and swimwear, including — we hope — plenty of fashion-forward Hawaiian shirts [...]

CofC Grad Survives Janice Dickinson’s Wrath

I recently got a chance to chat with Chandler Maness, College of Charleston alum and a minion on the last season of Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, which wrapped up last month. Over the course of the season, he managed to avoid Janice’s famous ire while becoming one of the most disliked models in the house. [...]

Celebrate Election Day with Parties and Free Stuff

Tuesday, Nov. 4, there’s plenty of stuff going on to help you celebrate your wise decision to vote. Besides bribe-like freebies given out by companies, there are a number of election-watch parties that should last until the bitter end (as long as, God forbid, it’s not past 2 a.m.) We hear there are election parties [...]

Weekend Events: Coastal Carolina Fair, Harvest Festival, Wagener Terrace Oyster Roast

EVENT | Country music and fried twinkies
The smells of decadent funnel cakes topped with pure sugar, candy apples oozing with rich chocolate, and warm, salted pretzels the size of your head — are you drooling yet? The annual Coastal Carolina Fair held at the Exchange Park opens Thursday and will feature tons of entertainment, including [...]

Weekend Events: Rocky Horror Show, Skinful Halloween, Jean-Yves Thibaudet

THEATER | Don’t just dream it, be it!
Before the cult classic film and all the bizarre late-night viewings it spawned, Richard O’Brien’s Rocky Horror Show was one of the most scandalous musicals to hit the British stage. The Little City Musical Theatre Company follows up their spring debut Songs for a New World with a [...]

Where It’s At: Upper King Design Walk

Browsin’ and boozin’ on Upper King
I approach this write-up with some trepidation. If I rave about the Upper King Design Walk last Thursday will it go the way of the Art Walk? That is to say, will crowds pack the trendy shops so tightly that it doesn’t leave room for browsing, the very point of [...]
