Attending the Cleo Spa & Salon One Year Anniversary party on Thursday night held a lot more significance for me than just celebrating the legacy of such an imaginative spa. For me, it was about celebrating friendship. The Opening Fete of Cleo in September 2007 marked the beginning of my friendship with Susan Shin (Manhattan’s authoritress on the most magnificent events ever). We worked in the same building on the Upper East Side and became acquainted in the elevator, of all places. Shortly after, Susan invited me to Cleo’s opening. At that opening I met Nick Dietz, Susan’s right hand man, and we became fast friends to say the least. One year later, many fabulous parties later (the history is embedded in the pages of Guest of a Guest) and many many laughs later, we all found ourselves together again at Cleo Spa and Salon.
