The Nightlife: Ooh, Those Mehanata Nights

Eugene Hütz of Gogol Bordello came to Mehanata (the infamous, debaucherous Bulgarian Bar in the Lower East Side of Manhattan) last night to provide the soundtrack for many hours of madness. Zooey came along and we sampled the rakia shamelessly.

It was packed wall to wall and the dancing was crazy! Also, I made a cute outfit to destroy on the dance floor.

Warning: looking at these photos might make you feel drunk.

The shirt I made to pair with my go-to shorts & American Apparel socks. (Yeah, still hanging onto 2007 and my thigh highs…)

Off we go…

(It’s always funny to capture the “before” in the cab.)

These are the faces you make when the club is so packed you aren’t even sure if your feet are touching the ground.

This guy is amazing!

We also met my BFF Aparna and her friend Priya. Check out those lashes! *bat bat*

New friends!

I think this is what they call getting “folked up”.

This is Ali. He knows how to dance with a chair in his mouth.

Who’s this cutie…?

Giiirl…

And then, of course, the classic drunken train ride home.

Same time next week?

She curates and sells vintage fashion at Hey Mishka Vintage and runs the annual Sugar x Spice Holiday Makers Market in Brooklyn each holiday season.

HEY! I'm Mishka (or Michelle Christina, MC, Meesh... depends who you ask).

This is my sparkly little corner of the internet, where I've been blogging since 2008.

I created this blog because I believe life should be fun. Life should be creative.
Life should be festive.

Of course, life is other things too, but these three things get pushed to the back burner as soon as we hit the "real world" of adulthood, and I believe that to be the underlying cause of so much emptiness and stress in modern life.

This space is dedicated to adding a bit more fun, creativity, and festivity to your day, so you'll never forget that there's always something to smile about.

I live in Brooklyn where I write, curate vintage, and dream up DIY projects. I strive for creativity and joy, but never perfection. Perfection is never the point around here. So let's make a colorful, lovely mess together!
