Driven to Distraction

I have dreams and goals and stuff to do around the house. These are the things this week that kept me from getting to any of it.

Taking Off On The Runway: My Fashion-Forward Birthday Party

Last Sunday, I celebrated my birthday (officially, September 29) with a Project Runway-themed party at this groovy Melrose Avenue theater space called the Fake Gallery , where my friend Steve Silverman hosts his monthly 2-D extravaganza "Slideshow," which I’m performing in on November 10.

Though I used to throw big blowouts all the time, with crazy themes like “A Love Boat Birthday”, I hadn’t organized one in ages and was worried that I’d lost my hostessing mojo.

But I sent the Evite and pressed on, and thanks to some serious rallying by my peeps, everything came together and a chic and fabulous time was had by all.

A few highlights:

Guests were divided into teams of four for the Project Hensley Design Challenge, which had each team designing two T-shirts for me, the birthday boy: One was a ‘couture’ shirt, an outrageous and over the top work of art. The other was more wearable shirt for the ‘everyday guy,’ which Heidi Klum kept referring to as the ‘everyday gay.’
