Since I spent the day planning for my studio sample sale tomorrow, I deserved to go out at night. Woo!
First, I went to the Canadian launch of Ed Hardy Icing at Lobby. It was a whole lotta Ed Hardy-designed sparkle for cell phones and laptops and an all-out party-party with tons-of-fun people.
First, I met Roy [...]
