i just dance the way i feel pt. 3

Alright, FINALLY the last installment of the NYE plans. A little late but whatever. I hope everyone's plans were a success and that everyone had a great safe new years, spent time with good friends and had an ace time doing so. Also I hope everyone danced their little hearts out and had plenty of magical moments. Oh and of course got their swag on and whipped their hair back and forth as much as possible. And hopefully got to kiss the person they wanted at midnight!

Malia

Your current location: Los Angeles

Where/how will you be spending NYE (bar, club, friends house, etc)?

I'm staying home with my bandmate (Scotty from Black Ryder), having champagne, playing music, and storyboarding for the Zaza music video I'm shooting next week.

What is the one song that really gets you ready to go out?

David Bowie's record Changes. In fact, I listened to it last NYE as I was getting dressed.

What are your going out essentials?

My own car, so I can escape whenever I want.

What is the one song that always gets you on the dancefloor?

New Order "Ceremony"

What would you spin if you were the dj?

Nick Cave "The Singer"

What drink will you be holding throughout the night?

Coffee, water, Champagne.

Who do you wish you could kiss at midnight (celebrity or non)?

He's very far away and shall remain nameless.

What do you do after the party (go to another location, crash)?

I don't really go out much.

Your hangover cure?

Not going out the night before, but on the occasions when I do, I tend to spend the next day having a "carpet picnic" on the carpet in my studio. I bring all the blankets and pillows from the house and set up camp in there to watch movies all day on my computer screen.


Ilijrana

Your current location: Brooklyn, New York

Where/how will you be spending NYE (bar, club, friends house, etc)?

Seeing one of the bands on my label, Magick Mountain play with Ariel Pink and Outer Limits Recordings in a warehouse somewhere in Bushwick.

Teenage Dream - Katy Perry

Friends.

The above two tracks.

What drink will you be holding throughout the night?

Whiskey or vodka.

Who do you wish you could kiss at midnight (celebrity or non)?

Oh, he will be there and he knows.

What do you do after the party (go to another location, crash)?

Depends really if I am tired or not.

Sleep.


Joanna

Your current location: Edinburgh

Where/how will you be spending NYE (bar, club, friends house, etc)?

People are drinking the required champagne at mine, then into town to watch the fireworks, possibly stopping off for a drink on the way, then on to a party at our favourite pretentious bar. Perhaps some tacky dancing at the Mexican club come seedy den next door when we're royally slaughtered in the am. Then winding down with a first-of-the-year sunrise cigarette before all passing out in someone's house.

What is the one song that really gets you ready to go out?

Ghetto Music by Outkast, because like any self respecting white girl I love me some retro hiphop

What are your going out essentials?

Disposable (I am too self-aware hip (read: poor) for a digital..). Glitter because I have become obsessed with it lately and it’s nice to find it sprinkled about the morning after. ID. Mascara/Eyeliner. Brush. Phone. Tobacco etc. And chapstick of course.

What is the one song that always gets you on the dancefloor?

Lisztomania- Phoenix

What would you spin if you were the dj?

A nice remix of I need a Dollar by Aloe Blacc or something of the sort (I'm assuming that as I'm the dj I actually have the skills to do this..) because I reckon everyone could love that.

What drink will you be holding throughout the night?

Vodka soda and lime…for some reason we convinced ourselves it's the healthy hangover-immune beverage to drink. Maybe some whiskey in a hip flask for warmth during fire-work watching. In fact whiskey and ginger ale to wind the evening down is perfect.

Who do you wish you could kiss at midnight (celebrity or non)?

As I am firmly committed to my spinsterdom there are no non-celebrities on my radar. I have to say, much like most of the female populous, James Franco is seeming more appealing than ever (we can forgive him the failed foray into literature...)

What to do after the party?

Bail back to someone's flat for quiet drinking and smoking until we submit to sleep.

Your hangover cure?

Drinking water like a fish, Sainsbury’s basics prawn mayo sandwich and copious amounts of black coffee.


Julie

Your current location: Paris

Where/how will you be spending NYE (bar, club, friends house, etc)?

I'm invited to a costume party themed on animals. I'm gonna wear a super comfy red panda outfit. How sexy is that?

What is the one song that really gets you ready to go out?

Queen Of The Night by Whitney Houston (sorry to interject, but Julie this answer just made me love you more, if that is even possible! xoxo Patrice)

What are your going out essentials?

Cigs, Red Bull and burger cheese slices

What is the one song that always gets you on the dancefloor?

Rah, rah, ah ah ah, Roma, roma, ma, Gaga, Ooh, la la…

Feel good girly tunes only:

The Shoop Shoop Song - Cher

Disco Heaven - Lady Gaga

Who Do You Think You Are - Spice Girls

This Is How We Party - S.O.A.P

Let's Get Loud - Jennifer Lopez

2 Hearts - Kylie Minogue

Myself

Your current location: Kansas City

Hanging with some friends in Nashville, catching some bands at The End (Natural Child, Turbo Fruits, PUJOL and more). Then probably head to a party afterwards or go home and depending on intoxication levels.

What is the one song that really gets you ready to go out?

Ms. Fat Booty- Mos Def

or

If I Ever Feel Better – Phoenix

What are your going out essentials?

disposable cameras, cell phone, phone charger (you know how the iphone sucks up your battery power), red lipstick, wallet, car/house keys, travel size tissue paper (hey!

Gin & Tonic, Whiskey or Club Soda with a lime…depends on what my situation and mood is.

Who do you wish you could kiss at midnight (celebrity or non)?

Gaspard Ulliel or Andrew Garfield

What to do after the party?

Rather depends, if I drove there myself (which I prefer), I usually bounce early, go home, watch movies and pass out before the opening credits are finished (thug life!). If it is the other way around, I suppose it is where ever I am taken to next. Usually it’s a party, somewhere to eat food then home.

Your hangover cure?

some advil, XXX Vitamin Water (it can only be that flavor. I have tired others and it’s doesn’t work) and I am good to go. I also stay hydrated throughout the day…

i simply want him more because he looks the other way

I am currently SO obsessed with this song. Why hasn't anyone told me about this?

"Crave You Ft. Giselle" - Flight Facilities


I swear I am going to post the third NYE post soon (I know it's so ghetto to still post them since the time has passed) like tomorrow. You know how it is, after the holidays it's time to play catch up and start planning your first quarter. I think for some of us, SXSW is our main concern and working on new projects. And this is just the beginning. I am afraid to see what everyone will be like once Festival season actual starts.

Upcoming Posts:

What I've been reading
Spring Fashion Inspiration
Photos + more from Nashville
a mixtape (hopefully, currently catching up on new music, so out of the loop! maybe I should start reading pitchfork again?)
And how I am published in a book with some friends!

Here is some more information about it and go to the polaroid party, support and shake it like a polaroid pic-chahhh!

mah girl Giuliana graces the cover!
