i can dress myself’s CD release party at the Blue Macaw on April 7th 2012, featuring i can dress myself, NeonBunny, Dex Stakker, the i can dance commanders, the Bottlecap Gazebo and all the Funky Ones. Photos by Carlo de la Sera (Almost Realism).
When Graham and I (Purpleganda) first articulated the philosophy of The Funky Ones we chose two specific guiding principles for our funky festivities: inclusion and attention to detail.
i can dress myself’s album release last week was the perfect manifestation of this mission. Together with all of our beautiful, loving and talented friends we threw the most epic gala where everyone simply delighted each other.
I would like to thank some of the people who created this summit event but most of all I would like to thank the glamourous Emily Squirmbot Thundermouse Haltom for crafting a truly unforgettable affair. Brava my dear!
