Thursday night we got all fancied up and went to the MOB x Missbehave Magazine fashion week party, “The Bad & The Beautiful.” The soiree was at the Red Bull Center and we got the chance to see lots of people that we don’t get to see on the daily. Afterward, we went over to the WAD party at Hiro. Here’s all the good folks we saw: Missbehave Magazine ladies, MOB posse, Uffie, Annie from Cubannie Links, Wendy from Nitrolicious, YM from Freshness, Mika from Cream, Michelle Ten, Mel D. Cole, Brian Lichtenberg, Dee & Ricky, Erin from Made Me, Radio Rose, Alice, j.e.w.e.l.s, Kari and Ron. You can see pics from the party here and here. And we have a few pics after the jump . . .
