Quicksilver x The Standard Pool Party
Last Saturday my first full day in LA was spent running around the rooftop of The Standard Downtown in my world famous one piece. The occasion: The launch of the Quicksilver bathing suit collab with The Standard.
There are four different bathing suits for each Standard city. We have the LA Downtown, Hollywood, New York and Miami.
Coolest part? They are sold in touch screen vending machines!
Back to the party- we were out here because darling Lucy McIntyre invited Price, Salman and I and it was Anna and Pierre's last day. We spent the day lounging in several spots, our favorite being the 'Hershey Kisses'. We boozed (note Ms Laub elegantly guzzling a jello shot), we ate and we did lots of picture taking as well as voting for the hottest bod. And there were many. I posted the rockinest one here.
But the party was really all about my one piece. I mean, I have worn that thing all around the world and the one place where it absolutely got the most attention was right there in LA. I figured I would get one or two pictures or comments, but when I did the reveal it was like I had magically morphed into Robert Pattinson. Camera phones came flying out of oversized handbags, dudes were whipping off their glasses and squinting and general pandemonium abounded.
After a lengthy photo shoot with The Standard photogs, (see Mario and I) I was told by management that I was already a hit on their Twitter feed. Lots of surfer dudes nervously laughed or looked away but when I had pro skate boarder Salman Agah wrap his arm around me and give me a big fat kiss I got instant dude respect. The highlight was near the end of the day when one drunken surfer came up to me with all smiles and gave me a high five. He said, "Dude I just had to come and give you some love and respect. You have bigger balls than any other man around to wear that thing all day!"
You heard the man.
