What a night! Not only the entire crowd went crazy when Elle started to describe the winning girl for the personal style awards; 'This girl is always dressed to impress, not just for a party, but also for simply going to the Albert Heijn. Regardless of her amazing height, she still wears killer heels. She not only shows fashion or writes about it, she defines it'.
At this point, it was very clear to everyone that our baby won. It is hard to explain, but it felt like a victory for all of us. She proved that when you are the right person, you can break the sponsored-to-the-bone-rules of fashion. Just because there is no other way.
There was icing on this cake too. David won Belle of the ball. L.O.V.E. was in it to win it and they sure did. Thank you Elle, for not picking another bland actress in a cocktail dress or a jumpsuit. It is about style. Period.



















Last Thursday we had our last HangOut. And thanks to the hosting of Gianni Bab and the music by Black God and HeyGirlHey it was a good final edition. We had fun.
Now it's time for something new, something new that starts in March. We are excited to do a brand new Saturday night. More information coming soon.
Pretty pictures by Sheeza Hoo :)


After winning the Elle Style Awards last year, Bonne showed what an amazing stylist he is. Just take a look at January's Elle magazine.



















What a great New Year's night we had!
First some drinks with the KnuckleDuster family at Nick and Olivia's. After that, we rushed to the ChicagoSocialClub where L.O.V.E. and Black God played their music, while HeyGirlHey was doing the same at the Soho. At Backstage a killing 3 hour performance by the Sweethearts (with loads of thank yous for Anneloes Bakker) and hottie Sheeza Hoo transformed herself into Sheeza Host, taking care of the door.
So happy with all you friends around. 2012, let's get this party started.

Tonight we will host the door at ChicagoSocialClub - Backstage again. Will be fun.

Tonight CLEO returns to Fakkit at Studio 80 for a great start of the new year.

We really would love you all to come so we can give you some new years kisses. We want to celebrate the new year with all of you.
We will get some nice snacks, music and love. Maybe even some balloons.
But the most important thing is to bring amsterdam a little bit more together again. Thats our goal for 2012. Starting with a NieuwJaars borrel.

Every year there is only one halloween party that really counts here in amsterdam. The Halloween .0 party. We loved our friends Olga as Marie Antoinette and Ralf as Captain Spaulding, Valentijn de Hing (L.O.V.E.) as a carrot, Jimmy Paul (HEY GIRL HEY) as a crazy drag mama and David Koppelaar (L.O.V.E.) as Eden Wood.

Upcoming thursday we will do our last weekly HangOut at the Ludwig Zwei and make it a monthly event.
We are very excited for this upcoming HangOut 10/11, since we made a special collaboration with our friend Dieter de Cock. He will be celebrating his 5 year stay in amsterdam after working here as a designer for Viktor&Rolf and Cold Method.
Making many friends on the way.
Music will be provided by KnuckleDusters lovebirds Cleo and Black God, while The Harpy Eagles will do the hosting.
Two weeks ago we celebrated the birthday of our Doppelgang boys and Cleo at The HangOut.
Thanks everybody for coming, and we are looking forward to see you thursday.
Here some shots of the birthday bash :)

MTV made a little video about us going to the I Love Fake magazine launch ;)

In the series of showcases to show our talents around the world, we will proudly start in Amsterdam. The city we love and live in.
One night, 7 dj's, 3 hosts, 1 mc and a performance group will fill in this night, to give Amsterdam the boost in a new direction, where the talent is the entertainer instead of just someone who plays the music or lets you in.
To us it is important style and flair go hand in hand with a real effort to create a night to remember. Something worth coming for.
We can't wait for this exciting night to happen, the night we finally open our doors! Truly hope to see you all there to celebrate this with us.
