[Kelly Killoren Bensimon (L) vs. Jill Zarin (R)] It was a battle to end all battles. At least for this season on the Real Housewives of NYC. Kelly BensimonJill Zarin. versus Who would throw the better Halloween Bash? The costumes! The fake hair! The Reality TV Scandals. Who came out on top? Do any of you care?
[Charlotte Muhl and Sean Lennon play dress up] Ever have one of those moments when you look around and you realize everyone in the room has a famous mom or dad? And you’re just that girl wearing scraps of fur and leather, in an outfit that resembles an extras costume from “Where The Wild Things Are” (and not necessarily in a good way)? No? Well, that’s pretty much what happened at Sean Lennon’s Halloween Party this past Saturday, where everyone was celebrating his release of his score “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead.” More »
[Andrew Bevan is Bee Shaffer's #1 Dalmation] Last Friday, we broke the news that Anna Wintour’s daughter, the beautifully fashionable Bee Shaffer would be taking a “regular” plebian job as assistant to College Humor’sRicky Van Veen.This Saturday, it seems like the socialite has continued on with her quest to become a normal young New Yorker by slumming it up in the basement of the Bowery Electric at Andrew Bevan’s (our top 10 hottest bachelor of NYC) Halloween Party.
[Photos by DAVID CROTTY forPMc]. After last year’s controversial, and what looked like very restricting, depiction of the Hindu goddess Kati (below), one might predict Heidi Klum would tone down her choice of Halloween costume. Nope. The supermodel and her hubby Seal dressed as crows for their annual All Hallow’s Eve extravaganza. At West Hollywood’s Voyeur, the event highlight for us was the contrast of creativity with a total lack thereof. For example, Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt dressed as the tooth fairy and a tooth, while Rachel Zoe and Steve Bing were a billionaire and a stylist. What a coincidence.
How many bubble costumes are we expecting to see this weekend around town? It’s the year of little Falcon, Lady Gaga, Mad Men, John and Kate, and Bernie Madoff. With Halloween starting five days ahead of schedule (with the Central Park Conservancy’s Annual Halloween Ball), it’s a safe bet to assume you are going to need more than one costume this year.
