After Midnight at the Andy Warhol Museum 20 Year Gala

The $500 a plate crowd started at 6PM but after midnight it was fair game for the public.  Steve and I went to the opening of the Andy Warhol Museum twenty years ago, remembered a line around the block, waiting.  A bar across the street which is no longer there, where Eddie and Christine put on the finishing touches of his outfit and hair for the parade.  Christine used to cut our hair in the Fulton Buiding, long before it was Heaven and now the Renaissance Hotel.

Where did twenty years go?

So we thought we’d slip down and check it out.  See what the beautiful people are up to in the Burgh Saturday night.

 

Everyone abuzz

 

A mirror ball whirling and reflecting light sets a mood. The mirror ball upstairs brings you back to the time of the Velvet Underground

 

 

 

After Steve and went through all the galleries we came down to the dancing and DJs scene in the foyer

 

 

 

Andrew Andrew live and work “as a joint persona”  dressing alike is just one aspect of this DJ duo.

Forget it- these are sold out!  Cole -Haan silver shoes sported by Benjie of Benjie’s Baubles (NYC).  A gift !   Thanks for letting me shoot yourshoes! It was nice chatting as well.

 

 

 

Felt sad looking at the photo of Andy Warhol’s grave with the glow of an eerie lighted candle-  I believe it is a “live feed”

Wondering how Billy Name was experiencing the gala.  Lots of folks wanted a photo with him.  He was the one who originated the SILVERIZING of Andy’s Factory.

Headed home, the streets cordoned off.  We had a fun time.
