The Good Ones: Greek Mythology - A Little Bit About a Lot of Things A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

July 28, 2014 The Good Ones: Greek Mythology

It’s Tuesday evening in the Seaport District, what are you doing? Me?? I am at a modern Greek rooftop gathering with some of Boston’s finest. You can’t beat the views, or the company. The party I’m at is being hosted by The Good Ones – a unique group that hand picks some of the most interesting people to gather together at events like these.

Meet Good One Kimberly Giardino and co-founder of The Good Ones, Carolyn Kim (aka goddess of the night).

Everyone was very festive with their interpretation of tonight’s theme, modern Greek. Those that did not show up in togas came in shades of white and gold.

The beautiful, talented jewelry designer Heloisa Helena Fitzgerald drinking Zoos tea, a sponsor at the event.

The stunning Candice Wu, designer extraordinaire. She designed the beautiful gowns that the models were wearing this evening.

Mark Andrus’ costume put everyone else to shame.

Good One Tau Zaman was looking good in all white.

Co-founder of Maple Water, Kate Weiler and Comedian Tom Severo. Tom’s costume was definitely the most creative of the evening.

Rodrigo Martinez, Chief Strategist at IDEO was rocking his toga.

Radio personality Kennedy Elsey had the ultimate accessory to her Grecian outfit, Mia, a 9 week old rescue puppy that is available for adoption through Great Dog Rescue.

Janet Wu looked gorgeous in a gown designed by a friend.

Tenzin Conechok Samdo, head bartender at Trade, mixed up delicious cocktails using Zoos Greek Tea and Crop organic cucumber vodka.

How amazing does that look? It screams summer.

Kristina Tsipouras, founder of Zoos Greek tea was fresh off of her win at the Improper Bostonian’s Best of Boston event.

Can’t think of two things that go together better than Zoos tea and Crop vodka.

Mark Penta was on hand capturing the event.

Krave Jerky set up a really nice tasting station where guests could snack on a variety of their jerky flavors. See my previous post about Krave Jerky here.
