One would think that the International Beauty Show would have Googled the alternate meaning of its initials — “IBS” — prior to posting them on all of their branding, but maybe I’m the only one to whom it seemed a little funny. Certainly this lovely show attendee, sporting a Hot Pink Blazer and electric blue tresses doesn’t seem to give a crap (see what I did there).

Over the past two years, I’ve enjoyed covering the slow return of various favorite trade shows, such as the Affordable Art Fair and NY Now while holding-out for what I like to call ‘The Big One.’Â Finally, after an absence of two excruciating years, the Summer Fancy Food Show (sponsored by the Specialty Food Association) made what can only be called a triumphant comeback in June of this year. It has taken me this long to distill the experience because, wow, the show was just overwhelming on so many levels.

These Pink Jelly Belly candies were photographed while locked inside a glass case surrounding the information desk — creating a color spectrum display — which was part of the company’s booth at the Summer Fancy Food Show, which I attended on June 12th! Whether these Jelly Bellys are Pink Grapefruit of Cotton Candy, or some other flavor entirely, I cannot say. They sure do look pretty, though.
On Friday evening, I hauled butt over to Javits Center for a quick trip to the NY Boat Show — which was scheduled to run until 8 PM that night — because I had a feeling the event might be canceled on Saturday, with the Noreaster coming (and I was right). This Big Apple (that is what it is called) is actually not an official bus shelter, but a piece of public art that you can sit in. It can be found on the north side of 34th Street, just across from the fancy 7 Train exit. It looked so beautiful all lit-up, I could not resist snapping  a pic for the ‘gram. The piece was created by World of Marzell!

I had to act fast to snap this photo of a cool Pink Bus as it was about to make a right turn onto 11th Avenue in front of the Javits Convention Center. Doesn’t the pale pink color just pop when set against Javits‘ shimmery sea green glass façade? Super artsy! A little Googling reveals that Pretty Little Thing is an online store that sells what I would call Hoochie Mama outfits. The site also features a Pink Monday special where many items are discounted up to 80% off, so maybe pay them a visit if you need some ‘club clothes.’
