SOCIALVIEW: Marcus Paglialonga of Gypsy Junkies.

AND WE’RE BACK!! We worked hard all last week to bring you some fantastic new SOCIALVIEWS with some incredible people!  This week, we are super excited to share the People, Places and Things of Marcus Paglialonga of Gypsy Junkies!

We were first introduced to Gypsy Junkies last year by our friend Mike.  Gypsy Junkies is an LA based fashion house, producing fantastic boho-chic collections complete with sheer chiffon, elegant crochets and a floral print jump suit that could KILL.  You can bet your ass that Anna T Fabulous is DROOLING over that one.

With Kitson doing a recent window display dedicated to them and LA-Gypsy babes like Nicole Ritchie are all over their floaty pieces, you know that everybody wants to be a Gypsy Junkie!  Hey, anyone heading to Coachella?  In short- Gypsy Junkies is exactly how we dress in our day dreams, and hopefully more in our reality!  With their exceptional price point, that wardrobe dream is actually attainable!

This week the Man Behind the Brand, Marcus Paglialongia, shares with I Need A Social Life his People, Places and Things!

PEOPLE: HIS GRANDFATHER, RICHIE PAGLIALONGA

Marcus’s grandfather currently lives in San Francisco (holla!), but has resided all over the world: India, Paris, Geneva, you name it!  Marcus says his Ritchie is a kind, loving and wise man, with the BEST stories.  Living around the world will do that to you!  Please Ritchie, tell us a story!

PLACES: THE EDGAR QUINET SIDEWALK MARKET, PARIS, FRANCE. 

Ummmmm.  LOOK at these photos.  Need we say more???  With our appetite already hungry for a trip to gay Paris, these photos do NOT help curb the appetite!

THINGS: HIS CAT, FEATHER. 

Stop it.  Nope.  Can’t. Won’t!! Feather CLEARLY runs the show at the Gypsy Junkie showroom.  Where do you think their inspiration for their patterns comes from?? 😉 And those model long legs?  Feather is a head turner!

THANK YOU to Marcus for taking the time to chat with us this week!  Stay tuned for another SOCIALVIEW next week! ❤ -annatfabulous :*

THINGS: A Club Called Rhonda, Los Angeles USA.

LA Night 3.  The final destination.  We venture to a different territory: Downtown.  What do we walk into?  A Club Called Rhonda.  This monthly party is deemed ‘LA’s undisputed mecca for HOUSE, DISCO, AND POLYSEXUAL HARD PARTYING’.  And let me tell you, they weren’t kidding.  THIS. PARTY. WAS. EVERYTHING.  Baertsch was the one responsible for bringing us all to the party- and it was THE BEST party we have ever been to in LA.  So good in fact, we are COMING BACK every single month.  Who says?  RHONDA says.  -annatfabulous :*
These girls KILLED IT.

PLACES: Villa Blanca, Los Angeles USA.

Ok.  So before you ROLL your eyes, don’t your DARE tell me that you DON’T watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (for you hardcores: RHOBH).  Whether you do it secretly or openly, you do it.  We can tell. SO, just like us, if YOU were on Rodeo Drive, you would OBVIOUSLY stop for a quick drink or two at the over produced Villa Blanca to see what Lisa’s restaurant (no last name need because I KNOW you know what we’re talking about).  We did just that.  And it was exactly the LA tacky, ridiculous and over-the-top that we were looking for  (Where’s Jiggy?) -annatfabulous :*Hello Lisa!

PLACES: Wood & Vine, Los Angeles USA.

We stopped for a quick nosh at Wood & Vine on Hollywood Blvd, right smack in the middle of Taint’s neighbourhood.  A gorgeous little spot that feels very ‘San Francisco’.  The food is outstanding and the drink menu is impressive.  Keep in mind, the dishes are served in tapas format, so the portions are quite small.  Order family style and you will not be disappointed.  Yummy! -annatfabulous :*
I DIED for the gnocchi!Scallops!Steak!
