There are hundreds of events going on in New York City on any particular day. Now, I am not a mathematician, alas, you should see my checkbook, but that means that thousands of events happen every year. Granted, most of these events aren’t events with notables and even less with celebrities, but we can all safely say that there is way to much crap going on that humans are obligated to attend. Agreed? I used to be a social butterfly in the late 70’s and 80’s, and thankfully I got that all out of my system. There is nothing sadder than a middle aged person trying hard to be an “It” person. But then again, who would have thunk that the Real Housewives of New York and their spouses would become sought after for press? Which is why I love being me, having seen it all, and done it all, I observe from a safe distance all the daily party nonsense and cover these horeene events for The Party’s Over for I Mean…What?!? Today however, I noticed a few events that just baffled me. Yes, they could easily be under The Party’s Over umbrella. But I just had to highlight them for a reason that shall remain nameless…namely because I am speechless.
Kuhlman, a clothier, had some launch something, where the notorious Housewives and Husbands were in tow. Now this was a must-attend. And Kuhlman used to be on my old corner on West 12th Street...get it...used to be.
Seriously, aren't you highly insulted that you were not invited to the Kuhlman thing.
Ramona poses here with a friggen shirt. Hey, what isn't a photo op these days?
Now these attendees of the Kuhlman thing were probab ly the most sought after that evening. Hey, no kidding, they were even on the step and repeat.
Glassybaby...not kidding...is the new candle store that opened. And wireimage was there to cover all the star studded guests....such as these two.
Candles were the most famous attendees that night.
Well, unless Stone Gossard from Pearl Jam floats your boat. It must be his mom, or aunt's new store. Either way....zzzz.
At the Project ALS event, celebrities arrived and were photographed in front of the Audi, which took them there. Now step and repeat that.
On the heels of Domino and House and Garden closing comes the must read of the century...SOHO DESIGN. Party at Barolo? Fotz.
Now you know and I know and he knows that he s not Anthony Hopkins, but he sure does look like him. I bet the publicist was like, "Anthony Hopkins was our our event last night".
For a "design" event, this is some nice display for what looks like a silent auction. Pin drop silent I am sure.
I leave you with this: Is that a cork screw coming out of her head. Now that's design!
I can't imagine going to one of these things, unless someone i loved very much was involved and it meant a lot to them to have me there. but even then, i would not pose for photos. who in God's name wants to see a picture of ME? it's just so…lame. i did a red carpet for a movie premiere once (it was work related) and people were taking photos of me and my friend as we came down. Please, stop wasting film. (or memory card space) unless you are a household name (and not because of a reality show) have some discretion and stop whoring for the cameras. no one cares. /rant over. 🙂
Now that Audi is cool; but for funky reasons – "TDI".
It is possibly the most fuel efficient SUV available in the US [ Europe gets better engine choices for both Audi & VW ].
I sure would have preferred one of these SUVs over my 16 mpg Suburban.
This is kind of engine cleavage to some of us.
