Everyone loves them, everyone hates them, and everyone wants to be in them. Since we will most likely never make the pages of Vanity Fair, we have taken matters into our own hands. As part of our ongoing Society Pages, we present you with…An Evening at the Ace Hotel in New York City.
The ReadyMade crew was out in full force on Thursday night at the brand new Ace Hotel in New York City, taking over the lobby and bar area for two hours (or maybe a little more…), drinking PorkSlap and causing a general ruckus.
Notice the pigs high-fiving. It’s that good.
We chatted, we laughed, we shared secrets and even interrupted a studier or two. (Now THAT’s dedication.)
With over 160 friends that showed up, we were well over capacity but that made no difference to us.
RM’s Adam Holt and graphic designer/illustrator/art director Mike Perry.
Nilea P. Alexander of Underground Love Story and photographer Anna Wolf. Loving the shoes, by the way.

And these are just because the Ace NYC was rad to look at, too. The heart in the porthole window was a lovely touch…
And always remember to play safe. Thank you, mural-above-my-bed, for a good life lesson.
Thank you to everyone for making this such a special night and a special issue, we couldn’t have done it without you.
Dear Ace Hotel NYC: Thank you for hosting us—we had an absolute blast. Your wood-paneled bar was warm and inviting, just like your staff. PS: Don’t we look good together? We should do this again…
Your Friend,
ReadyMade
