Polaroids by Heidi Gaudet and Jordan Allen12/12A big thank you to Ed Brachfeld and Christian Adams for putting this wonderful evening together. Lykke and Gina for quenching thirsts with delicious mezcal and having us all at their wonderful house. Jamil Shamasdin and Judy Koloko for being by my and Holly’s side from day one. Gurls Talk wouldn’t still be here without you both. Jordan and Heidi, my lovely team members. Madcapra Falafel for the delicious food, and our gorgeous film crew: Marianne, Lizzy, Ashley, and Stephanie. Last but not least: Holly Gore, who has become such an important part of Gurls Talk. This night would not have been possible without your hard work and passion.
