I’m admittedly a little slow catching on to the whole vampire phenomenon happening in pop culture right now. I just saw the bloodsucking blockbuster “Twilight” a few nights ago and have yet to catch an episode of the HBO television series “True Blood” which seems to be airing internationally (advertisements for it are all over the tube stations in London.) But when I sat in a small screening room at the Soho House last night and watched a woman suck the living daylights out of her lover’s neck in the short film called “High,” I figured it was safe to say that the vampire bug has bitten the fashion kids too. Jonathan Kelsey debuted the bone-chilling short flick, which the director Sara Dunlop created for his eponymous shoe line, at a crowded launch party last night (Jonathan’s partner Greg De Roeck wrote the script). It also debuted on SHOWStudio last night and will be on the Web site for the next month. In the crowded bar downstairs where guests congratulated Team Kelsey, Womack & Womack’s “Baby I’m Scared Of You” blasted from the speakers. The song’s title pretty much summed up the night.
