I got my arty party on Halloween night at the Moti Hasson Gallery where artist Jillian McDonald was launching her zombie-riffic interdisciplinary exhibit "Waking The Dead." With candy, drinks, and free zombie makeovers, the show was the perfect place to start fright night off right! Here I am (on the right) with Jillian right after getting the glamour-gore treatment. All the better to enjoy her creepy decomposing lenticular portraits and monstrous short films with! I was decidedly less bloody Tuesday night at the star-studded Farm Sanctuary benefit, but I did bust out my fairy costume on so I could flit my black wings in adoring circles around special guest Joan Jett with my bandmates from Royal Pink! With so many good parties to be crashed this October, it’s a shame my fave holiday only comes once a year!
