PRIVATE PERFORMANCE FOR THE SUPPER CLUB


On April 30th, 2008, Tamsin Lonsdale's SUPPER CLUB hosted "A Double Sneak Preview: Vicente Wolf and Alexa Wilding" at the soon to open 15 Union Square West, former home of Tiffany & Co.

Guests previewed the model apartment (designed by Wolf) of the as yet finished building, while "Breakfast a Tiffany's" played on the flat-screen TV (perched on an easel, a Wolf design staple). Moi, dressed courtesy of Brian Reyes, performed songs from my EP smack in the middle of the living room. Guests picked up limited editions of the record, complete with black paper diamonds and ribbons.

Alexa Wilding, dubious socialite...!

I POP OUT OF EUAN RELLIE'S BIRTHDAY CAKE


On April 3, 2008, I performed a cabaret cake popping number for society favorite, Euan Rellie, on the occasion of his 40th Birthday celebration at Bar Milano, co-hosted by pal Tamsin Lonsdale's SUPPER CLUB.

"After a delicious five course feast...a humongous plaster cake rolls into the middle of the room. Out pops a chanteuse! The sexy Alexa Wilding, mini-guitar in hand, croons a sultry Happy Birthday. Applause. 'She's better than Marilyn Monroe,' said Rufus Albemarle. 'And she's wearing Galliano!' chimes in the lovely Lucy Sykes-Rellie." -- AVENUE. (Actually, Alexa was wearing a one-of-a-kind corseted tutu a la a feisty Moulin Rouge runaway, created by Camilla Huey).

The feat was covered by Avenue Magazine, W Magazine's Editor's Blog, Fashion Week Daily's Chic Report, and The New York Social Diary.

And life just gets more interesting! Mad-cap, actually.
