Last night, the place to be was the Versace sponsored Whitney Studio Party (stay tuned for full coverage, later this afternoon!), hosted by the Arts Council, chaired by Penelope Cruz and organized by committee members including our own Rachelle Hruska. Clad in and accompanied by Keith Lissner, she welcomed patron partiers Lindsay Lohan and Donatella Versace(above); just a few of those who turned out in art chic for honoree Leonard Lauder. Dressing the part, however, does not always mean good behavior. Lindsay Lohan is very much case-in-point. More »
Filming outside our Bowery office, Gossip Girl has made coming to work a lot more enjoyable. Now in Day 2 of watch, we can confirm that Chace Crawford is still deathly handsome (you’d think he’s hawking plaid from the model shots, below), almost disconcertingly so. Also, DJ Nick Cohen is apparently friends with the cast, either that or he’s making an appearance this season (possibly following on again off again girlfriend Alexandra’s premiere episode cameo?). Or maybe he just needed to sit and catch his breath, on the trailor steps. More »
After a week of parties, just as many days of shows, and who can forget the VMAs and their aftermath, it seems like all of New York City is struggling to stay on their feet. So how can we expect to look good for the cameras (oh yeah, and our jobs) for the final day, and night, of Fashion Week? We’ve got a few simple tips for pulling your act together so even if you’re not feeling up to speed, no one knows that you’re feeling like a bona-fide hot mess.
Alexandra Richards is one cool cat. In between DJ’ing parties like the Day & Night 4th of July party like she is here, the model and covergirl filmed a Gossip Girl cameo. In last night’s season 3 premiere, the beauty was the object of Chuck’s wandering eye and Blair’s jealous one. Nacho Figueras was her partner in appearances, as the Upper East Side clan stopped into Greenwich Polo. Adding to a list including Jay McInerneyand Tinsley Mortimer, we can’t wait to see what the new episodes are bringing us by way of suprises.

Wednesday night, I started the evening early in order to attend all the events I had scheduled. My first stop was the white hot Avenue for the Swatch launch of their 2009 CreArt Collection. The party had what I am guessing is an 80s theme complete with rainbow rubber bracelets and Lollipops on Swatch Lollipop Holders. More »
