On Feb 12, Folsom Street East presented its First Anual Fetish Fashion Show and Charity Auction, benefitting The Center: the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center. Billboard Dance Number 1 artist, Sylvia Tosun, performed and hosted at the event. Sylvia invited SWNYC into her VIP area, and we had a blast! You may also notice Vic Banker dancing on stage with her. We featured him and his line of jewelry awhile back. Check out the post here for a refresher: Vic Banker.
I hope you enjoy viewing the pictures as much as we enjoyed taking them! ;)
Harvey Champagne and I decided to go see Billboard #1 artist, Sylvia Tosun perform at F-Word on Friday, July 30th. She performed some new songs from her upcoming EP, Above All, and her number 1 dance hit, Push n' Pull. My shots of the performance are actually terrible in comparison to the actual performance (and the pictures that somebody else took). I have to say, her performance was very impressive. During her first 2 songs, there was some feedback from the microphone...and although she still sounded great, Sylvia stopped the performance for a sound check and delivered an impromptu opera song. Yes, opera. Her songs may be sexy house tracks, but the lady can belt out some amazing notes.
We got to catch up with her backstage and she agreed to do some Q&A with us! So we will be doing a feature on her in the next few weeks, as her EP will be dropping at the end of the month. Here are the pictures we were able to salvage from that night:
