Last night was every thing I love about a great party.Here is how they do it! Start with The Plaza Hotel Ballroom decorated by the fabulous Ron Wendt. Next fill it up with Co-Chairs, Adelina Wong Ettelson, Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, Mary Kthryn Navab, Carlos Sousa and Matt White, then add International Co-Chairs, Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti and Nadia Swarovski, plus Young Friends Co-Chairs Olivia Chantecaille, Amanda Hearst, Alexandra Lind Rose, and Luigi Tadini and you know the room is going to be buzzing.
This event raises money to restore art works in Venice and in keeping with the theme of Carnival many of the guests were inspired to wear masks and costumes. Francesco Clementi won an award for the best mask while Beatrix Ost won for best costume. Courtney Love was looking great. I didn't see her till the end of the night and so she popped her mask on for me and threw her arms in the air.
After dinner the music was turned up and the dancing got going. It didn't take long for Colin Cowie to have women dancing on the tables and spinning on the floor. Other guests returned to the foyer where Grey Goose cocktails awaited them. It was well after midnight when I looked at my watch. Where did the time go?

Ok so lets face it, June has been a great month and seen me all over the place. I've been to Nashville, Mexico and Lancaster County, but way back when the days were just beginning to show the signs that summer was here, I headed up to the New York Botanical Garden Conservatory Ball. The weather was perfect and everyone was happy that the storms that had been forecast earlier that week did not happen. After cocktails in the garden the guests headed for the tent. After dinner the first person on the dance floor was Christian Leone. I need to say that that man can DANCE! Lucky for him there are always a group of partners eager to be spun off their feet. Or should I say lucky for them. No one ever leaves the dance floor with out a giddy smile and those around them are caught up in the magic of dips and twirls.
