Meanwhile
there’s more. Holiday parties, that is. At the Marlborough
Gallery on 57th Street, The Bronx Museum of the Arts tossed a cocktail
party to thank all the people over the past year who have supported
the museum’s mission to serve the culturally diverse populations
of the Bronx, New York, and the international art world by collecting
contemporary work by artists of African, Asian, and Latin American
descent, and those artists with strong ties to the Bronx.

It was a festive affair hosted by Michèle Gerber Klein,
Janis Gardner Cecil, Anton Perich, and Tama Janowitz with
a little help from the vodka, wine and a menu of hors d'oeuvres that
included shots of
curried butternut squash soup, steak tartar on basil leaves, African
globe grapes with foie gras, followed by blocks of crumbled Belgian
bittersweet chocolate.
On the walls of the gallery were paintings of meditative tropical scenes
by Latin American artist Tomás Sánchez. Unfortunately
for the guests (and fortunately for Tomás), they all had red
sold dots on them.
In the crowd, many who really dressed up for the occasion: Hunt
Slonim, Colette, Brian Ermanski, Nicola L., Doug Siegel, Heidi Calvert,
Edward
Butler, Amber Ray, Michel Auder, DeeDee Luxe, Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen,
and Leemour Pelli. Also Katherine
Narducci, who
plays Charmaine Bucco on The Sopranos, Simone Klabin, society
bandleader Alex Donner, designers Alvin Valley,

Last
Tuesday night over at TSE on Madison Avenue and
9th Street, Victoria
Traina, Francesca Bodini, Emily
Jerome, and Alex Kramer hosted a holiday shopping party.
The shop was giving a 20% discount on full price merchandise which
they
extended through last Friday. And to celebrate the holiday season,
TSE made a generous donation to support Lenox Hill Neighborhood

At a Holiday
Couture Décor
party at HOMER, his shop on Madison Avenue, Richard
Mishaan used his collection of Chinese and English curiosity
and objet d’art from the 1940s
to unveil festive vignettes.

Richard
Mishaan and Pamela Fiori

Guests got
a first hand look at the decorator’s version of
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s decors, giving them
new interpretations of the holidays as well as, ahem, a chance
to buy – holiday purchases anybody? And they bought, snatching
up everything from the signature HOMER-scented candles to brightly
colored glass votives. You see, as they say, hang out the ham ...
or maybe the vodka, and they ‘ll come running.
Who, you ask? Well ... Nina Griscom, Town & Country’s
Editor-in-Chief Pamela Fiori, photographer Patrick
McMullan, Eva Dillon, performance artist Colette, event
planner Harriette
Rose Katz and couturier Maggie Norris. Also,
while we’re on the
subject: Michel Witmer, Andrea Scarpelli, Alan Slatas,
Monika Biegler, Tori Mike, Eugenia Santi Esteban, Michèle
Gerber Klein, Mark Langrish, Emma Snowdon-Jones, and again,
those Secrets of Charm design
team sisters Sharon and Estee Elkayam. |
