Last night, the hottest room in the city played host to its hottest guests. The Boom Boom Room was booming last night. It was (yet another) celebration of the DVD release of VALENTINO: The Last Emperor, but let’s be honest, it was really just a chance to dance next to Madonna.

• Apparently Valentino was too cool for 1Oak’s self-promoted “gay-night”. Maybe keep your fingers crossed for B Bar tonight, boys.  [NY Post]

Last night, two of the biggest names in the fashion world, Valentino and Vogue, held a cocktail party honoring New Yorkers for Children, an organization that supports young people in foster care in NYC. DJ Paul Sevigny was spinning as guests, including Erin Featherston, Geraldo Rivera, Erica Rivera, Tinsley Mortimer, Simon van Kempen, Alex McCord, and Kristian Laliberte, had the opportunity to shop with a portion of the proceeds going to New Yorker’s for Children. In these troubling economic times, it’s nice to see the social elite giving back to the community of New York.
