"  Photo: Faran Krencil At 11 p.m., rapper ASAP Rocky was giving a pep talk outside Alexander Wang&amp;#039;s after party. &amp;quot;This is going to be a great time and we&amp;#039;re going to have fun,&amp;quot; he told a small flock of assistants, stylists, and friends\u2014then he warned them not to get completely blitzed. It was a valid worry: Wang&amp;#039;s annual after-bash was thrown with rave royalty Ladyfag, whose weekly &amp;quot;Shade&amp;quot; parties in Brooklyn include holograms, phosphorescent drinks, boys in neon lipstick, and more than a few latex body suits. But instead of a warehouse, this techno party was thrown in an abandoned shopping mall, replete with a video arcade, a food court, and a shuttered store called &amp;quot;Christmas in New York&amp;quot; that only seemed to sell cardboard cutouts of Santa.  &amp;quot;Do you think they have a Cinnabon?&amp;quot; grinned Georgia May Jagger as Solange Knowles bopped by with her friends. &amp;quot;My absolute favorite thing in the mall is a Cinnabon!&amp;quot; (For the record, there wasn&amp;#039;t one\u2014sigh!\u2014but instead, there were hundreds of Poky Stick packs in chocolate and strawberry flavors.) &amp;quot;My favorite store in the mall is Sephora,&amp;quot; . &amp;quot;They have everything in there, but I guess that&amp;#039;s also why it&amp;#039;s dangerous. You walk out with a giant bag of stuff you didn&amp;#039;t know existed, and you&amp;#039;re like, &amp;#039;But I need this,&amp;#039; you know?&amp;quot; (Yes, we know.) Chung&amp;#039;s boyfriend, actor Bryan Greenberg, was being not-so-subtly followed by a giant pack of girls, but he didn&amp;#039;t let the giggly stalkers get in the way of storming the dance floor. &amp;quot;Alexander Wang throws the best parties!&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Not just the best fashion parties. The best parties, period.&amp;quot; As if on cue, it was time for the big reveal: A twerking Nicki Minaj, dressed in slashed jeans and clutching a bedazzled pink microphone led the audience in a sing-off of hits, like &amp;quot;Pound the Alarm&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Starships.&amp;quot; As the crowd squeezed closer to the stage, models like Jourdan Dunn, Joan Smalls, and Hanne Gabay Odiele danced, screamed, and waved their Hello Kitty backpacks (procured from a Harajuku-themed stall near the entrance). Even Wang himself hit the stage to have a quick dance session that elicited more screams than a Justin Bieber sighting. When it was over, Minaj gushed, &amp;quot;Alex, I love you because you have the best spirit.&amp;quot; He also had the best spirits\u2014that is, if you enjoy plastic cups brimming over with vodka and light-up ice cubes. By 2 a.m., the booze, the laser-beam dance floor, the smoke machine, and the crowd all blurred together, and when Rihanna arrived, a young model turned to her friend and asked, &amp;quot;Wait, am I hallucinating?&amp;quot; Nobody dared to answer\u2014they were wondering the same thing.
