Founders: Momo & Eli—The Chaos Behind The Phase

-

Some people build businesses. Some people build worlds. Momo and Eli didn’t just build a venue—they built a sanctuary, a statement, a movement. And let’s be honest: it’s not for everyone. It’s for the weirdos, the rebels, the broken-but-brilliant, and the ones who’ve been told “you don’t belong.”


Momo is the visionary, the one who sees the world in velvet, black marble, and chaos. She dreams in gothic-luxury aesthetics, in velvet shadows and chandeliers that drip like liquid gold. She’s the one who knows that luxury doesn’t have to be boring, that spaces can be dark, edgy, and unapologetically emotional, and that every guest should feel like they’ve walked into their own story.


Eli is the co-creator and co-pilot, the steady flame to Momo’s wildfire. He makes sure the chaos is controlled, the vision executed, and the community thrives. He’s the one who bridges the gap between dream and reality, ensuring every tattoo, cocktail, photograph, and event is perfectly aligned with the energy of The Phase.


Together, they’ve created a space that blends luxury with rebellion, chaos with order, darkness with warmth. It’s not just a bar, a tattoo studio, a photography hub, or a lounge—it’s a living, breathing reflection of who they are: unapologetic, fearless, and unrelentingly real.


And here’s the thing—it’s personal. Every corner of The Phase, every velvet couch, every black marble counter, every neon flicker, carries their fingerprints, their vision, their energy. They built it for themselves, but they built it for everyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong.


Momo and Eli don’t just want guests—they want community. They want people to come, scream, laugh, cry, get inked, get drunk, get inspired, and leave a little more alive than when they came in. That’s the heart of The Phase. That’s what makes it more than a venue. That’s what makes it legendary before it even opens.


If you ever wonder why The Phase feels so raw, so luxurious, so alive—it’s because Momo and Eli are in every detail, in every shadow, in every heartbeat of this place. They didn’t just open a bar or a studio. They opened a world where misfits are royalty, chaos is welcome, and luxury actually feels human. And trust me… you’re going to want to live in it.

When the Weight Starts To Feel Too Heavy

-
Hey.... I've been sitting here staring at this blank screen for longer than I want to admit. It's funny - well, not funny - but strange, how I can feel so full of thoughts and yet have no idea how to begin putting any of them into words. My mind feels like a room filled with laundry piles I keep meaning to fold, but every time I turn around, more clothes are thrown aside. Eventually you stop trying to organize them, and you just sit in the middle of the mess, hoping no one opens the door.  That's kind of where I'm at right now.  Sitting in the middle of the mess.  Tired. Overwhelmed. A little bit numb. and very, very human.  The truth is... Life has been really rough lately. I mean the kind of rough that makes you wake up already exhausted, like you ran a marathon in your sleep.  The kind where your chest feels tight for no clear reason, and every day you're just trying to convince yourself you're fine enough to function. I've been moving on autopilot - resp...

You Are Not Too Much — You’re Carrying A Lot

-
If you’re reading this, I want you to pause for just a moment. Unclench your jaw. Drop your shoulders. Take one slow breath in—and let it out gently. You don’t need to be strong here. I know how easy it is to believe you’re “too much.” Too emotional. Too sensitive. Too intense. Too broken. Too complicated. Especially if you’ve spent your life being misunderstood, dismissed, or told that your pain makes other people uncomfortable. But I need you to hear this clearly: You are not too much. You are someone who has been through a lot. There is a difference. When you’ve lived through trauma, your nervous system learns to protect you in ways that don’t always look pretty. When you live with mental illness, your brain processes the world differently—not wrong, just differently. When you’ve had to survive instead of being cared for, your reactions make sense, even if others don’t understand them yet. Nothing about that makes you unlovable. Healing is not a straight line. S...

Borderline Is Loving Like a Wound and Being Punished For Bleeding

-
Living with Borderline Personality Disorder feels like being born without skin. Everything touches you too hard. Everything hurts deeper than it should. Everything matters more than you want it to. And then people look at you and ask why you’re “so dramatic,” why you “overreact,” why you “can’t just calm down.” As if you wouldn’t give anything to feel less. BPD isn’t a personality flaw. It’s not being manipulative. It’s not being toxic for fun. It’s not attention-seeking. It’s a nervous system that learned, very early on, that love is unstable and abandonment is inevitable. It’s what happens when attachment and trauma collide and set up permanent residence in your chest. It’s loving like your life depends on it—because somewhere deep inside, it always has. People love to describe BPD from the outside. Mood swings. Fear of abandonment. Intense relationships. Impulsivity. Emotional dysregulation. Cool. Clinical. Neat. That tells you absolutely nothing about what it’s li...
