ANNUAL AUTUMN GALA
october comes swiftly that year, a change in temperature and the holiday season looming over the city. it’s in a spirit of tradition that black envelopes are sent to the doorsteps of new york city’s population on the first of the month, an ebony wax seal concealing printed cursive and red and gold-leaf decals. held in manhattan’s high council building, it’s the event of the year for the city’s civil servants and citizens alike — only matched in grandeur by the met gala, but held in a similar regard. it’s an opportunity to form connections, to network and meet intimately with city officials and those who seemingly run new york — ceo’s, business executives, company presidents.
as the ballroom is dusted off and adorned for the occasion, organizers ask that attendees don themselves in horror-themed attire, this year’s theme inspired by the upcoming halloween holiday. with themed food and drinks, the building is decorated by new york's finest event planners — orange and violet color accents, candelabras and faux spider webs dressed across chandeliers ; painted pumpkins and skulls, and a mist of fog coating the dance floor.
it’s free to attend, the cost of a ticket spent instead on the black tie dress code, with monetary donations supporting local arts funds and charities. the invitation details to attend with open hearts, open minds, and dressed in your very best — and if that isn’t convincing enough, get in line for the open bar serving high-end cocktails and beverages. the night will conclude with a firework display on the rooftop of the high council building, a moment to ring in the autumn season and bask in the time of year said to bear new beginnings.

location: Christmas market
Cian had decided to take a break from the overflowing activities at the Christmas market. No luck in the present for his wife except a few ideas that could possibly work if he had no other options. He still wanted a wow factor. It didn’t have to be big or extravagant, he was just picky. So, he paused his search when he finally had a warm drink in his hand (warmed apple cider to be exact) and a few wrapped snickerdoodle cookies.
He picked a spot on a bench before taking a sip from the drink, closing his eyes momentarily in bliss. It would’ve lasted longer if someone hadn’t interrupted. “Someone better be bleeding out or have a limb cut off for it to be more important than my cider.”

every year, rosamie lynn ( ceo of lynn’s fashion & council member ) hosts a new year’s eve bash that makes all of new york city GREEN with envy as invitations are only doled out to the elite. rosamie’s party is both highly publicized and in the utmost confidence—photographers camp out all night to catch a glimpse of the fashion designer & her invitees entering the party, but only those with the golden ticket invitation get to see what actually lies inside.
this year’s theme is simple : BLACK & WHITE. a fun irony when the guests in attendance are anything but...
to get invited to rosamie’s annual new year’s eve event, you have to either be someone or KNOW someone. it’s never a night that ceases to amaze, and this year will be no exception. bring on 2022.
