The post mortem from August is below…

(Postdated August 10, 2009) : What’s not to love when your friends throw a not-so-secret interior design party in Venice beach?  Our Tag Sale last weekend was a resounding success, with lots of rabid early shoppers and sunshine a plenty.  Much props to Vanessa De Vargas (Turquoise), Vanessa Kogevinas, and Amy Swift (SMARTY) for keeping the mood light, and of course thx to Dj Stephen R, and Haizee for joining me on the decks overlooking the crowd. The NYTimes even showed up and wrote a succulent expose.

This Saturday I’ll be holding down the turntables at this year’s Designer Tag Event in my favorite LA enclave (Along with Stephen R. and Haizee). Expect free food from vendors, giftbags, a special appearance by my friend Baiyina Hughley from A&E’s “Keyshawn Johnson: Tackling Design” show, and more.  Here’s the scoop from Vanessa De Vargas at turquoise-la.com.

The Designer Tag Sale is an interior designer yard
sale/tag sale organized by interior designer Vanessa De Vargas and
design editor Vanessa Kogevinas. Hosted by entrepreneur Amy Swift (SMARTY.),
the sale will feature over ten top Los Angeles designers selling items
from their personal inventories including small furniture such as
side-tables, lamps, rugs, pillows, art, accessories and more at
incredibly low prices! Nothing will be over $200 and prices will run as
low as $5.
