June 17: Versatile Style Debuts In Brooklyn

Calling all fashionistas... come celebrate the new Myrtle Avenue at with the unveiling of the House of Versatile Style's latest collection this evening. 

The complimentary sangria starts flowing at 6 p.m. And remember aspiring citizen fashion journalists: we're looking for pictures, lots of pictures... which can be sent to paul.leonard@patch.com.

Here are your 5 Things for today:

1. In case you missed it: Here's our of the scenes at a rent reform rally outside Gov. Cuomo's office in Midtown earlier this week. No word on a deal on extending those tenant protections — yet. 

2. No word yet on a possible vote on same-sex unions in the state Senate, though the chamber's GOP majority did get a visit by this major financial backer pushing for marriage equality. 

3. Heard on the Twitters: Vanderbilt Block Association prez and former candidate @ReneeCollymore: "Good people should run for office and stop complaining about what the bad people are doing." Agreed. 

4. Billed as a " karaoke dance party for people who never thought they'd like karaoke"  is part dancing, part singing, with just enough crowd surfing thrown in for fun.  At Union Hall. 

5. Alternate side parking rules are in effect.
