Other Details: The VMan party was the place to be last night. Taking place in the still-under-construction greenhouse like space at the unopened Mondrian, women and men danced on boxes above the crowd as Lady Bunny spun. The big rumor of the night was that Kanye was going to perform. He showed up with his entourage, causing guests to freak out and then wait, and wait and wait some more. He ended up leaving without performing, which left a number of disappointed people. When the "make it rain" machine began pouring down a mix of fake VMan Kanye Kash and real money, people felt a bit better. [Image Via Billy Farrell]
