The 2012 Memorial Sloan Kettering Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC

Wednesday April 25th was the Memorial Sloan Kettering Gala a the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While all the photographers were inside I decided to stand on the stairs and photograph everyone outside as they entered. It was perfect. The weather was warm enough that most people did not have on coats over their beautiful dresses. Tory Birch looked so amazing. She was the first to arrive soon to be followed by her fellow Co-Chairs Muffie Potter Aston who arrived next with her husband looking fabulous all in gold. followed by Jamie Tisch in red and Caryn Zucker in a black dress with a sensational split that showed off her shoes and she ran up the stairs holding on to the fabric to avoid showing to much leg! I wish she had just let it go and given me and Angelina moment! To view all the photos please click on this link The Memorial Sloan Kettering Spring Gala 2012

Wildlife Conservation Society Gala At Central Park Zoo

This year’s gala celebrated the opening of the new Allison Maher Stern Snow Leopard Exhibit and so lucky me I was able to get a private viewing and a chance to take a photo before the rest of NY runs to see these big beautiful cats. It was amazing. Even though the leopard was behind glass he saw me approach and watched as I moved from one end of the window to the other posing for my camera. There are 2 of them and promptly when the guests arrived they went and hid from view.
Allison Stern lead the well dressed ladies. Many of them were carrying jeweled bags by Judith Leiber in the shapes of animals. Sadly I didn't get to eat but the food looked delicious. Preston Bailey designed the decor although he was not there cause he is off on some tropical island this week!
