Coney Island High
Sophomore's Chrissie Miller Screens Her Short Film for the Cool Crowd
Last night at the Box, burlesque beauties were out and downtown hipsters were in when Sophomore's Chrissie Miller screened a new short film by her friend and frequent collaborator Cass Bird (for a teaser, click here). Shot on the Coney Island boardwalk, the movie is a cool-kid confessional-cum-lookbook, with Leo Fitzpatrick reminiscing about his "childhood of capers," Virgins frontman Donald Cummings cussing left and right, and long-legged ladies modeling Miller's signature denim cutoffs and tank tops.
"I've shot Chrissie's lookbook for a few years now, but we wanted to do something bigger and better," Bird said at the party, which drew pretty types like Vanessa Traina, Jessica Stam, Jen Brill, and Shoshanna Gruss. Miller, who has always prided herself on being one of the queens of the downtown scene, was quite pleased with the project. "I'm done with street cred. I'm ready to sell out, baby!" she laughed. "Look! I basically made an art house Jersey Shore!"
