Amanda

On Sunday night, Amanda Lepore and some of her Club Kid friends celebrated the launch of Lepore’s new fragrance, a $950 extravaganza created exclusively for Artware Editions. The eponymous fragrance, Amanda, is encrusted with 1,000 Swarovski crystals and will host a limited run of only 5,000 bottles.

My friend and I stopped by the upstairs of Hiro Ballroom to congratulate Amanda on her new fragrance and learned a few lessons from the transexual glamour icon along the way.

1. Know how to work a room.  Lepore wore a Marie Antoinette bouffant and glittery, body hugging silver dress that made sure all the eyes on the room were focused on her.  Yet she was extremely friendly and gracious, stopping by to make everyone feel welcome at her party.

2. If you’re going to go out, go all out.  The atmosphere included a cotton candy machine, platters of red velvet cupcakes, signature red Amanda drinks,  a giant disco ball, and a full screen  which debuted Lepore’s music video.   But of course, the main attraction of the night aside from Lepore herself, was a  glass encased display of her perfume.

3. Sparkle.  Amanda’s dress sparkled.  The room sparkled.  Amanda’s perfume case sparked and even the fragrance sparkles with a touch of Cristal.

4. Don’t drink too much at parties. Though Amanda is best known as a club kid, she no longer drinks. A fine, fine lesson I should also learn.
