Renovating.



Dear Readers, if you haven't noticed, posts are getting pretty scarce around here.  We are currently on the road to giving the site a complete overhaul so that we can bring bigger and better posts your way.  We wish we could give you more details, but that would ruin the moment.  We cannot give you a time-frame, but it will be worth the wait.

Sit tight and expect great things!

On Thursday, February 17th, SWNYC attended the opening of Absinthe, a new weekly party at Santos Party House.  Promoted as "Music+Art+Fashion+Collaboration", Absinthe was one hell of a good time!  With a stellar performance by indie/new wave/pop band, Class Actress, the atmosphere was easy, sexy and carefree.  We will definitely be going back!  The night is backed by a gang of fashion forward hosts such as our very own Valissa Yoe.  Check out pics of this very eclectic crowd of beautiful people.

A.Z Araujo Fall 2011 Collective Fashion Show


SWNYC was able to attend the A.Z Araujo Fall 2011 Collective fashion show at the Sky Room on Wednesday, February 16th.  If the name sounds familiar, its because Bravo TV's Real Housewife of Atlanta, Cynthia Bailey walked down the runway in one of his Miami shows during an episode this past season.  Cynthia looked amazing in his creations and so did these models! 

As usual, we try to bring a different perspective when it comes to an event like this.  We were granted full access of the backstage area, where all of the models were getting ready.  Also, as an added bonus, we scored video of the entire show!  So check out some behind the scenes pictures and watch the whole show!

Eddie Cumana's-"Alphabet City EP" OUT NOW!!!


(Photo for Cover Art by Daniil Dugaev)

I'm sure you remember our feature on house music mogul Eddie Cumana of Kult Records. Well, Eddie has realeased a new EP entitled "Alphabet City", which doesn't happen too often but definitely often enough for us to sleep with our dancin' shoes on!! The album is reminiscent of Eddie's decade long immersion in the culture of Alphabet City on the Lower East Side of Manhattan back when the LES was way more cutting edge, and more recently where Lady Gaga got her start as a local performer. You can best identify with Alphabet City if you know the musical "Rent" as it's based in and all about it.

With this album giving sounds from tech to deep to progressive house, there's a little something-something that every DJ will fire up for sure. It definitely gives us a nostalgic type of feel...like the one we ever so jealously wish we could have but rather admire through Eddie and this album .

.Here's what Eddie had to say about the project...

[After living 10 years on East 13th street & 2nd Ave in NYC, I developed a deep love for the nearby Alphabet City neighborhood where I often hunted for those rare promo vinyls back in the days. These streets are full of color and diversity just like this EP which comes filled with diverse styles and rhythms bunched up into one to make a new unique blended style of underground tracks! I hope you enjoy and as always, thank you all for the love and support!-Eddie]

The "Alphabet City EP" is available now at:


Also, here's a little taste of one of the tracks from the EP:

Behind the scenes with the fabulous Sammi "Sweetheart" of MTV's Jersey Shore

We got behind the scenes access to a photo shoot with Sammi Sweetheart from MTV's super hit reality show Jersey Shore. Street Walkers NYC Creator/Editor Mike Milan was the photographer so it goes without saying that we got in some Q&A with our favorite "sweet bitch," who we found to be WAY more sweet than bitchy. You may know her differently from how the show portrays it but we found Sammi to be very fun, easy-going, grounded and quite easy to work with. Basically...nothing like the reality show or the media portrays.

Our fabulous 2 day shoot was loaded with lots of love, laughs, and reality banter as Sammi got dolled up by an extremely amaze glam squad which was spear-headed by Ryan Nickulas from Logo's hit reality show the A List: New York and owner of Ryan Darius Salon. The fantastic Trina Patterson was the head stylist for the shoot. However, TJ Kelly (A-List:New York) and I both got to play tag-team stylists for the second day and had quite the fashion rumble in the sheets. Need I say more?!

Special shout-out to Roni Boutique, for providing the clothes for the second shoot!  Visit them at http://www.roninyc.com/.

Check out the photos and video interview we got of our sweetheart...and boys be ready to drool!!
