The event was held at the United Colors of Benetton located at the Time Warner Center Second Floor in Columbus Circle. Besides perusing the book and getting autographed copies from the author himself, guests also got to an opportunity to view another form of reading material: The newest issue of INTERVIEW magazine with hunky heartthrob Zac Efron grazing the cover.

NYC: It’s a Beauty - It’s a Bitch! a column by John Norwood

Go HERE for the entire gallery from this event by John Norwood.

Night is my time for walking. I love to look for that glow of light that beckons from my intended destination; a movie premiere, a new restaurant, a new nightclub, an art gallery opening. As I approached the appropriately named Half Gallery, for painter Damon Johnson’s new show titled, “Thanks for Asking”, I noticed that only a slight glow could possibly escape from this tiny LES storefront. Also, apropos, their logo was done all in caps with the bottom halves of all the letters removed.

Never mind the size of the gallery, I had big expectations. Three clever people own the place; James Frey, the best selling author. Bill Powers, the former editor of Blackbook Magazine and Andy Spade, husband of handbag empress, Kate Spade. Plus, Damon is the son of the New York Post’s Page Six editor, Richard Johnson.
