For all those who have inquired, the troika of Kardashian sisters---Kim, Kourtney and Khloe--will be at The Clevelander on Wednesday night (to be continued into the wee hours at LIV) for the launch party of their new boutique, Dash Miami (815 Washington Ave.), which will sell, according to a press release, "summer essentials and chic beach cover ups." Cover ups! Sort of ironic if you think about it--the most ubiquitous reality dolls out there, some more, uh, visible and prominent than others, hawking garments to hide stuff! Ha! We think we finally figured it all out and love the Kardashian sisters. Genius.
Update: Despite the unfortunate graffiti incident at the store (see above), the party will go on at The Clevelander and we got hold of the following Facebook email, which, according to our Kardashian insiders, is completely not legit. "It must be from some insane Miami promoter," laughed an official Kardashian mouthpiece. So if you got one of these, don't believe the hype.

Why in the world is Dash on 8th and Washington next to The Clinton? They might as well have it on Ocean Drive cause that makes for good TV and the store will probably close when they finish filming ie MTV's 8th & Ocean. In my expert opinion it should be at Gansevoort South.

Gansy is a great call...I guess they got free rent on Wash Ave..wouldn't it have been funny if they took over the space known as Sassy Assy?

I guess you can't pass up free rent. That's the Jew in me. ;-) But I have such high standards that I would have paid to have a better location for my business especially if was just for TV. Lincoln Road would have been a no brainer location. The old Sex &... store would have been better if they really had to be on Washington. Otherwise the old Deja Vu Love Boutique on 5th Street would have been perfect for filming! Especially cause of the rooftop parking garage. Check out the price their asking for it (http://koniversterngroup.com/koniver__/index.php?option=com_hotproperty&task=view&id=36&Itemid=). ;-X

It's only a matter of time before that space becomes a Chili's---one can only hope! I was hoping Opium would become Chili's..or maybe Applebee's....

CPK would be stellar. So would a Benihana. And I'm actually serious. 100 percent. Same on the chili's!
