Yes, we will be there to celebrate great local artists (Megan Griffiths, Drew Christie, THEESatisfaction, Amanda Manitach, Keri Healey, Ellen Forney, Kary Wayson—to name some of the Genius nominees), but we will also be there to look our best. Seattle is not, sadly, known as a fashion town; it is known for casual wear, wild hair, fleece, birkenstocks, vibram fivefingers (they are going for 100 bucks at REI!). The way we look at home is the way we look at work, and the way we look at work is the way look at the restaurant or bar. The Genius event (the tickets of which can be purchased here) breaks with this numbing sameness. When we go to this party, we dress up and look like Paris. As for me, I’ll be stepping out in this…
As we say in Zimbabwe, hokoyo!
