Jazz & Gin on Guest of a Guest

Another year, another action-packed GOTO Gala at Capitale.

The GOTO faithful showed up in force on Friday night. Weather be damned.

The silent auction spread was almost as impressive as the food. Three of our past scholarship receipients wowed the crowd by belting out jazz standards from the stage. And by all accounts, the hundreds of partygoers who attended Jazz & Gin had an amazing time. If you don't believe me, head on over to Guest of a Guest's site to read their Jazz & Gin recap.

The official gosince01 Jazz & Gin wrap-up is coming shortly, accompanied by even more photos of GOTO partygoers doing the worm.

Until then, stay tuned ...

Grotesk & Inglorious Basterds for Haiti

Back in June of last year, gosince01 interviewed the Swiss graphic artist Grotesk. He spoke about his creative influences & shared advice for GOTO's young aspiring artists.

This week, Grotesk & a team of artists linked up with Quentin Tarantino to help raise money for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Each artist was asked to create their own poster art based off their interpretation of Tarantino's film "Inglorious Basterds."

Only six of each print were created, and each was numbered and signed by Tarantino. On February 18th, patrons previewed and purchased the “Lost Art of Inglorious Basterds” at The Upper Playground Art Gallery in Downtown L.A. All proceeds from this program were donated to The American Red Cross to help the victims of the Haiti Earthquake.

Grotesk's (pretty awesome) submission is seen above. To check out all of the artwork, click here.

A Flapper Dance "How To" Post

Next Friday, the GOTO faithful will descend upon Capitale for GOTO NYC's 2010 Winter Gala "Jazz & Gin." And many of you will dress the part. But will you be prepared once the music starts jumpin?

If you don't know how to dance like they did in the '20s, check out this video below. Voted by Esquire as one of America's best bars, L.A.'s The Edison prides itself on preserving the glamorourous 1920's aesthetic. And what would the 1920's aesthetic be without flapper girls?

Watch the Edison's flapper girls get busy below. And best of luck trying to bring these moves to life on the 26th ...

1920's Fashion Tips

Jazz & Gin (GOTO's upcoming Winter Gala) is only three weeks away!

Many of you have already purchased your tickets and are starting to sweat about what you're going to wear on the big night.

While dressing "of the era" isn't required of our Jazz & Gin guests, it wouldn't hurt if you're looking to step your fashion game up. From our extensive internet research, we've uncovered that the '20s were a pretty fashionable decade.

If you're in need of pointers on 1920's fashion, below are a few gosince01 endorsed fashion resources in the form of movie trailers.

Please note - we're not endorsing the movies. Just the trailers. Just focus on what the actors & actresses are wearing and forgive the occasionally crummy acting.

• The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond
• Harlem Nights
• The Aviator
• De-Lovely
