Last week, Traver Rains was on My Super Sweet Sixteen, dressing birthday girl Teyana and causing glittery mayhem with his Heatherette partner Richie Rich.
This week, it was Traver’s turn to get a big surprise – a 30th birthday bash that transformed his Chelsea duplex into the Wild, Wild West. “I can’t believe you guys did this,” he said, as a posse of his BFFs surrounded him in bandanas, cowboy hats, and chaps – a riff on Traver’s past as a professional rodeo driver. “I mean really, I’m speechless.”
Thirty years old and still, a new first.

Check out the photos and consider this – Heatherette’s dropped the Alice in Wonderland idea (they think Gwen Stefani already played that card with L.A.M.B). Instead, they’re playing with an American Gigolo theme for Spring ’08…

Wanted: Traver. Alas, he’s had the same boyfriend (actor and model Galen Drever) for over a year.

Fashion Designer Richie Rich and Theatre Designer Arielle Schiff are all about the drama.

WWD intern Mirren Gordon-Crozier rocks the grunge look, and reminds us why it’s back.

You can see Fancy Nancy’s show on YouTube; you can see Fancy Nancy’s glasses on the Balenciaga runway.

Heatherette designer Mackey Dugan vaguely looks like a Fraggle…

Muse and model Lydia Hearst was there in spirit (and in silkscreen).
