Variety Fashion Show: Diverse bodies, music, performances
Backstage in the dressing room at the Fine Line for Variety Fashion show, models and stylists were buzzing about. Some frantically changing, some getting make-up airbrushed on with stencils and tape, some relaxing on couches, updating their Facebook status on their Blackberries. All and all, everyone was gettin' it done.
The show was presented by Melanie Ree, a local fashion designer who seems to understand the underworld of the fashion and music scene here in Minneapolis. She put on two lines -- Seamstrix and Le Fleurs Du Mai -- along with eight other local clothing artists, some of which included Max Lohrback, Anita Jensen, and Brittany Hughes. The make-up and hair varied from simple and sweet to something out of a Mad Max movie or Blade Runner.
and twirling glowsticks. These people were literally on fire.
Also performing in this "variety" show were four local bands that played on stage between segments: All The Pretty Horses, Dark Dark Dark, River Bottom Suckerfish, and International Espionage. I couldn't have imagined a better way to recover from too much tofurkey and family on this Thanksgiving weekend. Can't wait until next time.
