Janette Beckman lit up the room last night as friends and fans from Los Angeles came out to Project Space to celebrate her show, Archive of Attitude. Despite the name, the only attitude to be found was in the photographs themselves, as Janette radiated nothing but charm and style.

The crowd included more than a few of the usual suspects, but overall, it was a more mature audience, since most hipsters were not yet born when most of these photos were taken. The attendees shared a common love of the punk era and classic hip-hop music with people taking turns posing with an oversized photo of Slick Rick and reminiscing of days gone by. A highlight for many was the appearance by Christopher “Kid” Reid of Kid ‘n Play.

This must-see exhibit will run through September 5th, so be sure to stop by Project Space to see it for yourself.
