Opa (1311 Sansom St.) is already a hot spot for a great, modern Greek meal (love the four-week marinated grilled octopus with chickpea fondue) and a cool cocktail (another Antho with cucumber vodka, lemon and fresh dill, please). But its Thursdays just got a little steamier with the start of Glendi. The party, DJ'd with love by our good friend Rahsaan of AfroTaino Productions and created by Opa’s owners Vasiliki Tsiouris and her brother, George Tsiouris, will always have a live arts and fashion lean with the occasional nod to body painting and photography.

On Thursday, June 9, Glendi started with a bang when longtime friend of Icepack, “Dr.” Noel Zayas debuted Noel Zayas Events with a flashy fashion show on Juniper Street. Along with emcee/scarf wearer Thom Cardwell, Hamels Foundation mouthpiece G-N Kang (the other emcee) and Antoine Johnson (the boss of House of Talent PA models), the show was a smash, with fashion faves from Priscilla Costa, Matthew Izzo’s clothing (he borrowed a few 611 tees and tank tops) and hot weather couture men's suits courtesy of Commonwealth Proper, the custom clothier I wrote about long ago. Snazzy.
