Yesterday evening I joined some fabulous people for the Paul Chester Children’s Hope Foundation’s Masquerade Casino Benefit at 13 Crosby Street. Surrounded by equestrian portraits galore (very Steven Klein-esque), I mingled with some great philanthropists in some inventive costumes (the vampire in particular actually scared me). Host Jennifer Bell and supporters donned wigs and masks while playing poker. Among the guests were David Chines, Nathalie deBerry, People Magazine’s Peter Castro, and designer Alvin Valley, who all surrounded the roulette tables and played poker in support of the organization.

Marilyn Monroe Look-Alike Exhibits Art In The City
Go HERE for more photos by Ari Cohen
Last night we were lucky to attend the opening reception for Norwegian artist Unni Askeland’s exhibit FRIEZED:BLONDIE IN THE FOREST. The exhibit, held at the Heiberg Cummings Design studio will be up from October 30th-Nov 21. Guests were treated to the amazing vocals of blues singer Terri White, while Unni bounced around the room making sure to talk to each arriving visitor. The artist, described as the “enfant terrible” of the contemporary Norwegian art scene, lived up to her glamorous reputation as she sipped wine in a audacious leopard print dress.

Tim And Jason Take On Manhattan And The YPLC Gala
Tim Morehouse, Richie Rich, Jason Rogers at 1Oak
Go HERE for more photos of Tim and Jason’s adventure.
Yesterday, we introduced you to Tim Morehouse and Jason Rogers, the cute Olympic silver medal fencers that are putting down their sabres to get to know the NYC social set for a bit. They ended their night at 1Oak with Richie Rich (we must have JUST missed them!), but they put out a decent effort prior to that. They started their night at the Italian clothing store, Eredi Pisaco store on Madison and were the guests of Edward Johnston-Balodis, (Ph.D) and Elena Chernousova who they had meet at the Sak’s “Key to the Cure” event. Jason, being Italian, apparently made a good impression there because they were given gift bags with cashmere sweaters, shirts and ties. Next stop: Davidoff’s.

Filled with sketches and personal snapshots, the release of the inspirational book coincides with the tenth year anniversary of Rodriguez’s clothing line. A celebration was held on Thursday at Bergdorf Goodman’s , where Narciso signed books (and some flesh) for his supportive followers. This included Jessica Alba, Hal Rubenstein, Jamie KIng, Julianna Margulies, Ruben and Isabel Toledo, Dani Stahl, and Narciso’s lovely parents!
