A scarily good time was had by all at the “Night of the Fallen” Halloween party thrown by Maxim Experiences, Stillhouse and Velocity Black at Marquee nightclub in New York City on Saturday night. 

Host and Stillhouse Partner/Co-Creative Director G-Eazy—who performed a special set at the spooky soiree—co-hosted with former Maxim cover model Lais Ribeiro. 

The pair arrived in a black hearse decked out as DC supervillain Two-Face and X-Men heroine Storm, respectively. 

Inside, DJ Ruckus, DJ Quiz and DJ Spade spun club jams from the main stage to keep the party going all night long.  

Actor Cuba Gooding Jr, NBA star Joakim Noah, rapper SuperDuperKyle, celebrity tattoo artist JonBoy, former Maxim cover girl Jasmine Tookes and model Taylor Hill were among those who lit up the red carpet.

Ribeiro’s new boyfriend Noah arrived shirtless as Game of Thrones warlord Khal Drogo. 

Meanwhile, G-Eazy and his crew enjoyed plenty of Stillhouse Black Bourbon at the rapper’s VIP table.

At the peak of the night, G-Eazy scaled Marquee’s scaffolding with a can of Stillhouse and performed hits such as ‘Me, Myself, and I,” “Drop” and “No Limit” above the packed nightclub crowd.

Whether you’re driving to the next town over or flying across the country, Thanksgiving entails pretty much the same degree of travel planning as any vacation, and it means dressing strategically. That’s why we asked the Bare Necessities buying team for their recommendations for what to wear on every (turkey) leg of the big event.

HEADING HOME
Athleisure is the name of the game when it comes to planes, trains and automobiles, and that goes double for one of the busiest, most maddening travel times of the year. Flying the day of is always the most affordable; if you get out early enough, you’ll arrive in time to say grace. This year, Tuesday and Wednesday are both predicted to be some of the worst times for heading out, transit-wise.

So no matter if you’re going to the airport or your own garage, leave yourself loads of extra time, pack your patience and, above all, wear something really comfortable, from your base layers (we’re partial to the Calvin Klein Modern Cotton padded bralette and bikini) to your whole outfit. You’ll be smugly pleased with yourself that you went with the unbelievably soft Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Resort Cardi and CozyChic Lite Loungepants.

COOKING UP A STORM
After you’ve settled back into your childhood bedroom, it’s time to get down to the business at hand. That probably means hitting up the grocery store for the ingredients to your killer side dish and carving out a corner of the kitchen in which to whip it up. For an easy-wearing look that still says you tried, go for the fancy-casual mix of the P.J. Salvage Luxe Affair Pearl Knit Sweatshirt and matching Lounge Pants. You can wear UGG Ansley slippers to the store or slip them on when you get home, because you’re going to be on your feet chopping and stirring for the foreseeable.

SEEING OLD FRIENDS
You’re not the only one home for the holidays. The night before Thanksgiving, if you’re going to homecoming or a pub to meet the high school buddies you haven’t seen since last year, you might as well wow them with how little you’ve changed. In this case, there’s only one category to care about: shaping leggings. All the coolest looks—camouflage, velvet, moto, racing stripes, metallics—come with slimming technology invisibly built in. Just add a long tee or slouchy sweater for that “I’m not trying overly hard; I always look this good” vibe.

SLEEPING OVER
Yes, yes, you’re hanging out at home and want to be completely comfortable, but you’re not a kid anymore. Oversized promotional giveaway T-shirts riddled with holes won’t cut it. For maximum cuddliness in the form of a pulled-together look you won’t be embarrassed to be seen in when company comes over, you can’t go wrong with matching pajamas in a cheeky print. Our buyers’ new favorite is this P.J. Salvage Rise & Grind Flannel Pajama Set. Lord knows you’re going to need ALL THE CAFFEINE to get through this weekend.

EATING LIKE IT’S YOUR JOB
When you want an elastic waistband that’s not in the form of sweatpants, fashion hosiery is your best friend. On Thanksgiving Day, go for above-average levels of dressed with thick opaque tights, festive shimmery sheers or these incredibly cool, conversation-starting Wolford Gayla Snake Tattoo Ink Pantyhose. Pair your legwear with an eternally chic, forgiving wrap dress or a skirt and sweater, and smile for all the pictures you know you’re going to end up tagged in.

WALKING IT OFF
After a good, long tryptophan- and pie-induced nap, you may want to take a leisurely lap around the neighborhood or hit the gym, so make it a point to pack supportive workout gear—a sports bra especially. Our activewear buyer likes the unrestricted flow of these Onzie Gypsy Yoga Pants and Raw Seamed Cropped Sweatshirt with the Chic Racerback Sports Bra.

Then make sure you get back to your place in time for some truly epic Cyber Monday shopping.

Her alter ego Daenerys Targaryen is intense, focused, and ruthless. This proves Emilia Clarke is an excellent actress—she reportedly pulled such a silly, off-the-wall, and well-timed move in her Game of Thrones audition that she finally secured the role.

Variety reports that GoT showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss outed Clarke as an undercover goofball with some serious 80s-style dance skills as they presented her with the Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year.

Imagine Clarke doing the following in full Daenerys makeup and hair but wearing a Valley Girl outfit like Dancin’ Kim in the video above. She didn’t, but it’s fun. 

Though HBO execs had seen the pilot for Thrones, they wanted Clarke to audition a second time. From Variety:

The meeting took place in “HBO’s corporate theater, which was large, dimly lit and empty except for us two and the president of HBO,” Weiss said. “We were smiling. He wasn’t. It was quite possibly the least inviting audition environment we had ever witnessed.”

After Clarke’s initial reading, said president remained poker faced.

“Emilia asked if there was anything else she could do to lighten the mood and David asked, ‘Can you dance?’ And without missing a beat, Emilia did the robot,” Weiss said. “She did it with commitment and she did it well…and even the president had no choice but to smile. She got the job 10 seconds after she left the room and the two of us ran to tell her before she left the building because letting her get on an 11-hour flight home without knowing seemed like cruel and unusual punishment.”

In accepting the award, Clarke admitted the showrunners deserved an award as well, “for hiring someone whose biggest job up until then was catering parties dressed as a Snow White.”

Hopefully this story will inspire some composer and lyricist to begin work on a Hamilton-style rap musical based on Game of Thrones. 

Ideally, Emilia Clarke would remain in her role and The Robot would be her signature move.

Omega‘s Seamaster is a legend. The watchmaker has continually produced elegant timepieces across seven decades and the Seamaster is a perfect example, blending classic design and precise construction for unforgettable style and military-grade durability.  

From Seamaster to Seamaster is a new book celebrating the line’s evolution, innovation, and craftsmanship. It features more than 200 beautifully-photographed portraits focused on just 70 watches, 

Originally the first choice for the military and pro divers, the Omega Seamaster eventually became a high-end accessory popular with everyone from scientists to executives to—perhaps inevitably—James Bond. 

From Seamaster to Seamaster traces this journey in eight chapters. They take readers from “Hope“ through to “Bond” and finally, to “Transcendence.” 

In the photo gallery readers will get a taste of what’s between the covers of the book—minimalist photos designed to emphasize the uniquely practical style typical of this icon of the watchmaking world.

You can order From Seamaster to Seamaster online for $150.

Ja Rule has a show coming up on Nov. 9. Complex reports that if there’s a big blank space in front of him as takes the mic he knows who to blame: 50 Cent. 

The man sometimes called Fiddy might have a budding acting career and the usual ton of money you’d expect for a successful rapper but he is not above being petty as hell. And buying enough tickets to clear the best seats at his rival’s concert is the definition of petty.

In a later-deleted (but screenshotted, obviously) Instagram he posted Friday,  50 Cent wrote, “People think I’m mean so go see this. $15 bucks wait what I do now LOL.”

Later he left another comment: “I just bought 200 seats in the front so they can be empty. LOL.” Money-wise that means Fiddy keeping a fire under his feud with Ja Rule is worth throwing away a few thousand bucks.

50 Cent had real fun with this, including posting Photoshopped pics of himself alone in the empty seats smiling ear to ear.

This beef is old, and this is just the latest example of the pair going at it. Complex noted another instance from just a month ago:

In September, Ja shared with his fans that he had to cancel a show in Syracuse, New York. “Yo, Syracuse. i just got word that the show has been canceled,” he said in a video. “Sorry, man. Been trying to get there all day. I love y’all man. We gon’ reschedule the show. I’m leaving the airport now, man.”

Fif then took his chance to troll Ja by saying no one was going to show up anyway. “Only 10 tickets sold don’t nobody want to see that shit, you talking about wait we get a lot of people on the walk up. Get the fuck outta here,” he wrote as a caption on Instagram, ending with his signature message: “get the strap.”

At least both men were inspired to show off their artistic image editing skills.

It’s all fun and games till someone whips out their Photoshop.
