Man Moment: Alexander (wearing a custom bowtie by Elegant Boredom) is one of the three dapper gentlemen that I’ll be featuring in my contribution to the Dandy Lion group show at MoCADA. If you’re in the NYC area, be sure to stop by our opening tonight from 6 to 9 pm. It’s destined to become one of your favorite summer ‘11 events! :)

The Dandy Lion exhibit is making the big move to Brooklyn’s MoCADA! Get more info and RSVP for our opening reception (July 21st at 6-9pm) on the official Facebook page.
