New York Fashion Week is far from over, but I'm already seeing a strong trend on the runways. It's time to give your two-sleeve dresses the cold shoulder. One-shouldered pieces, with a little bit of drape, a little bit of interest, or a whole lot of shine, are the way to go for evening.

SEEING DOUBLE: MICK JAGGER AND BIANCA JAGGER

We all know that Mick Jagger has a healthy ego. What better way to say "I love me!!!" than to marry someone who looks like you!!! Jagger and first wife Bianca are two pouty-lipped, sunken-cheeked peas in a pod.

PHOTOS FROM "BAY AREA GRAFFITI" BOOK RELEASE PARTY & ART OPENING

The "Bay Area Graffiti" book release party and art opening at 111 Minna was a cool art event, with great work by artists featured in the book, a DJ spinning old-school Bay Area jams, and a nice, chill vibe. (See more pics here.) Sharing the space was art from the equally cool "Pin Up Babycakes" exhibit, which runs until the 28th.

BID ON MY PHOTO "MISSION DOLORES ROSES" @ THE ARTIST X-CHANGE SILENT AUCTION FEB. 5-7!!!

Today, I submitted a framed 8x10 photograph for the Artist XChange's "For My Valentine" silent auction (along with new merchandise for sale). The piece, seen above, is called "Mission Dolores Roses." On Friday, Artist Xchange will be throwing a great exhibit party (which they throw the first Friday of every month) showcasing all the latest art, jewelry, photographs and more, complete with DJ, wine and snacks. Come by, check out my new work and the new work of other amazing artists, and make a bid on the available works up for auction!!!

Here's more info about the auction from the Artist Xchange website:

"For My Valentine - Silent Auction
Saturday, February 7th, 12PM-7PM

In conjunction with the “We HEART the Mission” events being held on Feb 7th. The Artist-Xchange will be having a silent auction. To find out more about the "We HEART the Mission" events you can check out the following website (http://getlocalsf.com/).

Bidding starts at noon on Thursday Feb 5th.

Final bids will be taken at 7pm on Saturday Feb 7th."

Don't forget to come back to the Mission on Saturday, Feb. 7, and support the local, artsy businesses that help make it so great. The hipsters love their American Apparel (myself included), but they don't seem to want it in the Mission. This event hopes to drive that point home.
