Manhattan Borough in New York City and county in New York, United States

Manhattan, , is the most densely populated of the five boroughs of New York City, coextensive with New York County, one of the original counties of the U.S. state of New York. Manhattan serves as the city's economic and administrative center, cultural identifier, and historical birthplace. The borough consists mostly of Manhattan Island, bounded by the Hudson, East, and Harlem rivers; several small adjacent islands; and Marble Hill, a small neighborhood now on the U.S. mainland, physically connected to the Bronx and separated from the rest of Manhattan by the Harlem River. Manhattan Island is divided into three informally bounded components, each aligned with the borough's long axis: Lower, Midtown, and Upper Manhattan.

Glamour Kills

The company was started in 2006, by Mark Capicotto and made its debut at The Bamboozle Festival in the spring.

The Bamboozle was an annual three-day music festival held in New Jersey from 2003 to 2012. Every year, new bands compete for spots during the two days. The event evolved out of the Skate and Surf Festival. In 2012, creator John D left Bamboozle due to creative differences with Live Nation and he will be reviving Skate and Surf Festival in 2013. He later clarified in an interview that while he was disappointed in Live Nation's support of the festival, "It wasn’t LiveNation that did this – House of Blues did. House of Blues is 100% responsible for the damage of Bamboozle." It has also been announced that there will not be a Bamboozle festival in 2013 and the future of the festival is unknown.

Glamour Kills sells their merchandise on their website, www.glamourkills.com but through retail chains like Zumiez, Urban Outfitters, Tilly's and internationally through D-Tox in Canada and many other retailers in the UK, Japan, Brazil, and throughout Europe and Asia. [ citation needed ]
