Counting down the days until my birthday party! This Friday, 10/23, my CATEGORY crew and I are taking over a chic, two-story DTLA penthouse with some of my faves Bears In Space, Stacy Christine, and DJ Kerry spinning cosmic disco, deep house, moody techno, and nu-disco ‘til 4AM.

The theme for Vol. 003 is Sapphire 💎 so come dressed in your boldest blues, catch the light from our resident editorial photographer, and make my birthday wishes come true! Any hue of blue will do!!!
