What's in your bag? Dead animals, shades and more at the Westword Music Showcase

What do we have here? A copy of Juztapoz, cologne, a planner, a photography book featuring Man Ray and, last but not least, his sketch book, which is paramount when ideas for future tattoos come to mind.

But wait! There's more: cigarettes, unicorn printed lighter, Giorgio Armani shades, Chapstick, Crest whitening strips, a ring and a mask. Cordero says, "I usually only splurge on my shades, which I get from Solstice. I have a pair of Dior and D&G ones as well. My friend made this mask and I asked him if I could have it. It's pretty sick. Going back to my fascination with dead animals again, I made this ring out of a deer's tooth."

All that's well, ends well. Rodriguez was spotted dancing at the WMS after-party at City Hall while Q-Tip was spinning, but then again, who wasn't moving to the driving beat?

Style analysis: When the music plays, you dance. When the sun showers its rays, you hydrate. Many folks at the WMS sported the bare minimum, and others, like Rodriguez and Cordero, excelled in delivering hot summer looks. Just because the weather is blistering, you don't have to sacrifice style for comfort. Rodriguez lives it up in red heels, a red silk dress and red lips. Cordero plays cool in a stripped tank, pegged jeans, designer shades and personal taxidermy twist.

This WMS was most definitely one for the books. The combination of rockin' tunes, exhilarating atmosphere and stylish attendees made for a day unlike any other.

Continue to dance, hydrate and style properly, Denver.
