Some guests followed the theme at this month's First Friday

image.attributes.post_excerpt
I’ve been to a lot of First Fridays in my day, but I can say this month’s installation was the wildest and most crowded I’ve ever seen it. Forget looking at the exhibits — I had all I could do to extract fashionable people from the throng (and maybe procure myself some libation). The theme... Read more »

Not much vintage at First Friday, but definitely a couple throw-backs

image.attributes.post_excerpt
If you didn’t dress up for the MCA’s First Friday last week, that’s okay. They provided plenty of items to snazz-up your look. A adult-style dress up station provided some rather interesting items, including a giant papier mache head and a Lady Gaga-esque geometric headpiece. Downstairs, guests explored a craft table replete with pipe cleaners... Read more »

Thrills, chills and wackadoo fun at the MCA Blowout Spectacular

image.attributes.post_excerpt
The folks at the Museum of Contemporary Art really outdid themselves in providing some especially non-conventional entertainment at the Blowout Spectacular First Friday last week. Mucca Pazza were an incredible hit, the “automated apes” managed to convince a few revelers to participate in some impromptu yoga, and a few were very good sports sporting their... Read more »

A very special First Friday tonight

Please, please, PLEASE someone dress like this. DoubleM2/Flickr It’s that time again; the first Friday of the month, which means modern art, drinks, Wolfgang Puck goodies and madcap fashion with some occasional vintage. But this month is a particularly special event. Rather than the MCA’s typical (for them) cocktail party, this is a full-blown fundraiser... Read more »

MCA First Friday: The bold and the beautiful

Good times at MCA’s First Friday last night, eh folks? The not-so-pleasant weather did nothing to deter the culturally astute attendees, nor did it dampen their vibrant wardrobes. A lot of folks there must have been paying attention to the runways this year, because two of the biggest trends were seen over and over again... Read more »

MCA's First spring Friday last night

Walking into the Museum of Contemporary Art’s first First Friday of the season last night, I was a little confused. The place was empty. Then I remembered their fantastic patio. Sure enough, walking toward the back of the museum I noticed bodies nearly pressed up against the windows outside as Chicagoans swanned around in their... Read more »

Fashion first at First Friday

As a ChicagoNow blogger, I get to go and snap the denizens of the Museum of Contemporary Art’s First Fridays, an uberchic event held at the museum the first Friday of every month. The art on the walls is always impressive and thought-provoking, and the folks that come out dress in kind. I noticed a... Read more »
