Moschides and Bonnie started the party, originally held at the Garret at Grand Central, in 2013. Fast-forward a handful of years and several venues, and the pair has found a new home at 1306. “The folks at 1306 have always been extremely supportive of us all these years,” Moschides says.

The night of vogue will include fierce competition. Categories are open to all guests and include vogue performance, runway, realness, bizarre, face, and virgin vogue. And, yes, competitors can win cash prizes.

Expect a totally fabulous roll call of legends, statements, and stars — or as Moschides puts it, "LSS" — followed by the open-to-all categories and ending with a vogue performance.

Since Moschides moved back to her home state of New York in 2015, Catwalk: A Night of Vogue has happened less frequently in Miami. The event was down to twice a year — once in the summer and once in the fall. But, in Moschides’ own words, they’re starting the party early this year in February because "Why the hell not?" And although she can’t share details yet, she promises, “Catwalk has something big in the works for June. Stay tuned!”
Catwalk: A Night of Vogue. 11 p.m. Saturday, February 9, at 1306, 1306 N. Miami Ave., Miami; facebook.com/catwalknyc. Admission costs $10 cash at the door. Ages 18 and up.
