Party with Skirt!
On Thursday, partygoers came out in droves to Party with Skirt! magazine who hosted an unforgettable party at Bridgeside Events in Mt. Pleasant. Skirt! staffers were on hand to meet and greet as guests made their way inside. While checking in, everyone was intrigued by the hundreds of blue and white bags that were stacked behind the registration table. When I inquired about their contents, I told with a smile that I would have to wait until the end of the night to receive my swag.
Men in skirts were everywhere. I think I saw about 30 different guys in as many styles. Joe Condon and Tim Gross wore skirts that they said reflected their own personal styles. Joe wore a mini with leopard trim while Tim opted for a simple, long, jersey number. A few of my other favorites were the floral sarongs and tiered pleated skirts.
Since this was an indoor/outdoor affair, most partygoers mingled on the outside patio. The weather was perfect and the view of the Charleston Harbor was amazing. Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka was the drink of choice, and light nibbles were provided by Granville’s Catering.
By the end of the night, the Hat Ladies completely took over the dance floor, dancing to the sounds of Mystic Vibrations. It was quite the scene- ladies with adorable hats and men in skirts dancing with one another. Swag bags were given out to all that stuck around until the end. Each bag was filled with coupons from Flingwear and Mary Mojo, a free treat from Cupcake, and the book He Said She Said: Men and Women Square Off on Sex, Money, and Who Rules the World, written by the editors of Skirt!.
The event raised more than $5000 with proceeds benefiting the Komen Lowcountry Race for the Cure.
