Event Review: Safety Inside Marylin Manor (Baton Rouge, LA)

[Jordy Marilyn] [The article I'm about to write means so much to me and is entirely dedicated to my friend Dalton and all of my blossoming beauties in this world.] By Charlotte Caprice This event will always be a special memory of mine. The beauty of human conflict should be celebrated as we did celebrate our flaws at the Safety Inside Marilyn Manor event. We attended this darling event hosted by the lovely Jordy Marilyn of Marilyn Manor. The event was produce to help raise money for the Born This Way Foundation, which focuses on empowering youth and promoting acceptance. The theme of the event was being true to yourself, celebrate all your colors and accept those for their beautiful colors as well. At the event, we met up with Jordy Marilyn at the Red Star bar in Baton Rouge, where Dalton and I began our night with complementary “club kid” inspired makeovers.

A Night with Jordy Marilyn

[Jordy Marilyn and model Jade Preje an; Photographs by Nadezhda Sharnelle] By: Dalton Primeaux L ast weekend I traveled to Baton Rouge, LA for a Lingerie Fashion Show that Benefited CARP (Capital Area Re-entry Program) in the fight against HIV. The event was held at Club Theory in the downtown area of Baton Rouge and the show featured work from Scarlett+Atticus, White rabbit and one of the most provocative designers in the region, Jordy Marilyn of Marilyn Manor. As my friend and I walked into Club Theory, I instantly noticed how fun a lot people were dressed. This was a sure sign that Jordy Marilyn was in the building. If there is anything that Jordy Marilyn does better than designing outrageous clothing it is inspiring people to express themselves and push the boundaries of what most humans consider normal. Jordy Marilyn is spotted dressed in an over-sized red, fluffy top and a pair of ripped stockings, mingling with all the attendees. The director of the ...

Event: Escort at the Bowery Ballroom (New York, NY)

by Dalton Primeaux The 17 piece disco band, Escort , played an amazing, energetic show at the Bowery Ballroom in Manhattan on Saturday August 17th with opening band, Midnight Magic . Both bands brought the audience a blend of classic disco and funk with new age electronic dance elements and vocals, and the crowd loved it. Everyone was on their feet, dancing, having a great time. The energy in the audience was unbeatable. I think after experiencing Escort live it's safe to say disco never died, it was just revamped. Front woman of Escort, Adeline Michele - in a Nicole Miller print dress and hat by Crowns of Nyanga (styled by Irini Arakas ), oozed sex appeal and glamour like the vocal and fashion icon she is.

She has been singing and touring professionally since she was 5 years old, when she joined a choir in Paris. Michele is also a working model and was able incorpora...
