Last week, we were lucky enough to attend so many fabulous parties, we didn't get to post on them all.  One that was so much fun was UNVOGUE Magazine's 1st Annual Black & White Holiday Ball at the DEX NY Studio, hosted by MTV's "Made" Runway Coach Glamo.  Guests like recording artist Megan McCauley, Malcolm Harris of Mal Sirrah, and contestants from reality show "Stylista" enjoyed complimentary beauty makeovers by the DEX team and cocktails from sponsors V2 Energy Vodka, Red Bull and Jekyll & Hyde Liqueur while Glamo emceed the UNVOGUE "Holiday Looks" runway presentation. The evening benefited Designers for Darfur.

Scott was thrilled to be asked to be one of the hosts for GMHC's White Christmas Party/Benefit this past Saturday.  GMHC is the world's oldest organization set up in the fight against AIDS.   It is not-for-profit, volunteer-supported and community-based.  The party was thrown by the host with the most Mr. Patrick Duffy.  It featured performances by Jasper James and  living legend, Debbie Harry-aka Blondie.  Dress code was white, which means of course, Debbie came in all black, in a see-through top with a red bra on!  I was accompanied by my favorite Olympian Tim Morehouse to the pre-press event at the Chinatown speakeasy Apotheke.

It's funny how people go to the same event and come out with totally different experiences.  Nicky Digital went to Art Basel and came out with a totally different experience than me from the looks of it.  Like a bathtub of girls?  Where was this and why were we not invited?

New York MagazineNY Magazine just published their 4th Annual "Reasons to Love New York" issue and I have spent the better half of the morning reading it with a smile.  Because

"the payoffs from living in this city remain stratospherically high, regardless of what the Dow does on any given afternoon."

'Tis the season to party, and on December 10th Genre Magazine, with the help of V2 Vodka and Travelocity,  did just that.

Last night saw the final Media Meshing Party, as the NYC media horde gathered for a joyous F-U to the sagging industry outlook.  Those with jobs, those aspiring to, and those mourning lost ones packed Sweet & Vicious one last time, and made a drenched night into a celebration. Joining our host, Gawker’s Richard Blakeley was a whole Gawker Media posse that included:

Media MeshingRichard Blakeley from Gawker is the king of hosting Media Parties in this city.  Tonight, his infamous Media Meshing will be the last one he throws.  This is just icing on the ever crumbling cake that is the Media Buiness these days.  Here's his description of the party:

"End of all media -- End of 2008 -- End of Media Meshing
No it's not a sign of the apocalypse, just an excuse to drink 'til it's fuzzy!

For media types, 2008 has been a year of major highs and major lows -- so it seems only appropriate for the 9th ever Media Meshing to take us out on top. More»
