The night before last they held a tenth anniversary party at Jeffrey Chodorow’s “Garden of Ono” in the Gansevoort Hotel in the heart of the Meatpacking District for Mickey Boardman and his column “Ask Mr. Mickey” in Paper. It was a nice steamy night in Manhattan and for those who think that everyone needs air conditioning to chill, this group begged to differ.

First of all, I love the Meatpacking district, especially on a quiet summer night in New York when the Upper East and the Upper West Sides are so quiet they practically roll up the sidewalks after 7:30. The Meatpacking District is happening; the joint was jumpin’. Kim Hastreiter and David Herschkovits, editors/publishers of the magazine of Noo Yawk fashion hipdom hosted the bash for their boy, along with Johnny Knoxville, Helen Lee Schifter, Jake Shears of the band, Scissor Sisters, and the New York’s glam girl of the moment Tinsley Mortimer. Mrs. Schifter was unable to attend but her husband, SportSac creator Tim Schifter was in attendance.

In keeping with the times, the crowd ignored the heat with the fashions of their passions, up to the minute and down to the very last drop where costume is king. Or queen. Passionable fashionable Patrick McDonald whose sartorial splendor (and splendorama) has graced these pages (and practically jumped out screaming at you at times), was actually dressed down for the occasion. Asked why, he stated simply that there was no point in competing with this scene of fashion mavens who might only cramp his style, i.e. steal his thunder (with their lightning). So Patrick chose the understatement: white shirt, white hat and wall-floral pants. You hardly noticed him.

Someone told me Tatum O’Neill was in the crowd, although we didn’t see her. We did see a few of those uptown types, of course, but even better, we saw a lot of people we hadn’t seen, or hadn’t met before, with everyone in a very good mood, global warming or no.

Then there was the gift bag which was actually made of paper with canvas straps and included a baseball cap, Versace’s Blue Jeans Man eau de toilette vaporisateur, a bar of Condessa Wild Pansy Bath Soap (aha! you didn’t know that pansies could be wild!) and WeightWatchers Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Flavored Snack Bars (just 2 points), a Chippendales Calendar, which looks oh-so-80s it’s retro, and of course a brand new issue of Paper!

Something for everyone, and believe me, “everyone” (as in everyman, everywoman, everyone) was there. And having a ball. They should honor Monsieur Boardman and his column like this every year. Get us out and Downtown more often.

A couple of Thursdays ago in Southampton, executives from the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club and Spa, Jupiter hosted a launch of the ultimate luxury fashion accessory, the $210,000 Stubbs & Wootton slippers. These slender, custom-embroidered shoes, designed and created by style icon Stubbs & Wootton, feature The Ritz-Carlton’s signature lion and crown stitched in silver on blue velvet. A pair will be given as a gift with the purchase of each new golf membership at the private golf club community this winter in Jupiter.

Located in Palm Beach County, the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club & Spa is a 285-acre gated enclave which offers private memberships to a country club featuring an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, a Ritz-Carlton Spa and three home ownership options.

As you can imagine, all of this was right up the alley of the more than fifty guests who attended the reception and wine tasting coordinated by Wölffer Estates at the Stubbs & Wootton’s store on Jobs Lane in Southampton.

The Hamptons Film Festival & Elle Magazine presented a screening of “Asylum” followed by a beach dinner in Southampton.

The Hamptons International Film Festival and Elle Magazine continued their Summer Premiere Series with a special screening of Paramount Classics’ Asylum followed by a glam on-the-beach dinner that was the talk of the weekend.

Asylum, based on a book by Patrick McGrath, and with a screenplay by Patrick Marber (Closer), was directed by award-winner David Mackenzie (Young Adam), and stars Natasha Richardson as a woman whose husband takes a post at an asylum in the 1950’s, and soon finds herself attracted to a charismatic inmate who puts her marriage and her life in peril.

Director David Mackenzie and the film’s charismatic leading man Marton Csokas welcomed a crowd of Hamptons movers and shakers for the screening and a Meadow Lane beach dinner at the oceanfront home of the Villencys.

The starry evening was chaired by Cinema Society founder Andrew Saffir, and among those film ravers gathered on the beach afterwards for the Clamman-catered supper and raging bonfire, were Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky, Calvin Klein, Rick and Kathy Hilton, Inside the Actors Studio’s James Lipton, actors Steven Weber, Ray Abruzzo (The Sopranos), Eva Green (Kingdom of Heaven), actor Sam Bottoms, along with Janice Combs, Julia and David Koch, Marty Richards, Beth Rudin DeWoody, Ross Bleckner, Dan Abrams, Felicia Taylor, Daniel Benedict, Marjorie Gubelmann Raein, Tinsley and Topper Mortimer, Bettina Zilkha, Jamee and Peter Gregory, Samantha Gregory, Dayssi Olarte de Kanovas, Douglas Hannant and Frederick Anderson, Patty Raynes, Jeffrey Slonim, Harry Lefrak, Leslie Stevens, Eric Villency with parents Bob and Rowann, Jerry Della Femina and Judy Licht, Jessie Della Femina, Couri Hay, Elizabeth Harrison, Jim Shi, Luke Redgrave, Luke Parker Bowles, Peggy Siegal, David Zinczenko, Kimberly Newsom, Elle’s Robbie Myers, James Laforce, Jeffrey Sharp, Hamptons International Film Festival Chairman Stuart Match Suna, Denise Kasell, and Rajendra Roy.
