A double date disguise

A double birthday calls for a bigger bash than a singular celebration. And so, in honour of the aging of two party-professionals, Wrongbar is holding a Midnight-Masquerade. On Saturday August 15, hipsters and hanger-oners will dress in disguise. For a personal preview of acceptable attire the birthday boy-and-girl, Miss Isis Salam and Mr. Marc Andrew Smith, have been illustrated on the invitation (above).

A party promoter, PR practitioner, and alternative model, Smith is as boy-about-town as it gets. Though he’s played Macaulay under Mr. Peter Gatien, the man’s no party monster. A former hardcore kid from Saskatchewan, Smith is straight edge. What happens around him, however, tends to be complete debauchery.

Salam’s crowd can’t claim innocence, either (namely this wri ter, having been caught by concert-cameras). Fearless front-woman of elecro-rap act Thunderheist, Salam’s tendency to gyrate her hips, jump into crowds, and throw the occasional punch causes audiences to erupt into sweaty dance pits. And amid the madness of Thurderheist’s extra-loud live show is a reliable cast of party-blog characters who mingle in club corners and wait for the cameras to flash.

To capture their own masquerade-moments, Smith and Salam have enlisted Mr. Brandon Sprouse to conduct his smile-and-pose routine. As for entertainment, Violca of the playboy-pop duo Mansion will be spinning, along with performances by Syntonics, Alixander3, Paul Revered, and Wrongbar-regular Nasty Nav.

Event listing is here, for those interested in dancing in disguise.

Yours truly,

Tuxedo Mask
