Fab Fetes: M.A.C. Cosmetics Pro Party

The M.A.C. Cosmetics pro party, thrown twice a year in large cities all over the country brings together divas and fashionistas in the beauty industry.  Take a look at the pictures below, and you’ll wish you were one of the lucky beauty insiders who were invited to witness the colorful, zany performances by The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black. It truly was an event to remember.  Think makeup artists, models, stylists and photographers packed into a loft-like space in Soho all surrounded by surrealistic, naked, painted performers.

These naked painted performers were the Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, an indie rock band that was soon to perform.  At first we all thought they were simply atmospheric models passing out colorful cocktails and cupcakes and making themselves available for pictures.   After all, it’s a trendy event ploy seen at many NY events.  But when these mysterious, black-toothed, painted women started lining up on stage we all knew something special was about to happen.

Check out my video of their performance of their popular song, “Actressocracy”.  You too will be enthralled by their unique look.  “Did M.A.C. supply the body paint and makeup artists,” we wondered.  Are they really not wearing any pants? The event also featured another zany performance artist…not sure what this perverted Asian dude had to do with M.A.C. Cosmetics and the beauty industry but it was shocking and buzz-worthy nonetheless.  If you’d like to see an Asian man make love to a beach ball after having defecated on it..uh click here if you dare.

If you were able to stomach the strange “artistic” works shown above, perhaps the best part of the night were the creepy Chuckie-like dolls strewn all over the venue.  The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black group babied their lookalike dolls and let others take care of them throughout the night.  See here as I pretend to take one for a stroll.

The dolls were the hit of the party.  It’s too bad, I didn’t win one during the party’s finale when they were raffling them off but maybe I’m better off sleeping soundly without one in my bedroom.  By the way, doesn’t the hair styling of this group remind you of Marc Jacob’s runway show and before that, the Times Square promotion I styled in NYC?

What do you think?  Is this pro party M.A.C. worthy or was it simply colorful art gone bad?
