Party Pictures 4/9/04 - Dressed to Kilt

Notes for Thursday

From Dressed to Kilt (l. to r.): Vikram Chatwal; Antony Todd; Forrest Kirby; Elizabeth Kieselstein-Cord.

Cloudy, light Spring rain falling intermittently. Lunch at Michael’s. Afterwards a walk by the Bergdorf windows just to see what’s up. Plum Sykes and her new novel Bergdorf Blondes is what’s up. The store’s devoted three very clever and amusing windows to it, including one which has a tied-back curtain that on inspection is entirely blonde hair from ceiling to floor. Where’d they get that, from Lady Godiva?

Joy Press reviewing Sykes’ book in The Village Voice called it Sex and the City without the sex.” That’s okay; we’re just about sexed-out anyway (at least read- and view-wise). If the Bergdorf windows are any indication, however, Ms. Sykes book’s a riot. The windows certainly are. Obviously a send-up, light and airy, like the hair (and the heads) of a lot of those girls who worry about their roots and their dermatology appointments and not much else.

Meanwhile farther up the avenue and over on Madison at the Whitney Museum, mid-afternoon there was a line around the block waiting to get into the Biennial. The Whitney Biennial always draws scathing criticism and harrumphs and long long lines waiting to get in. Mostly young people and those who remain so, if you’re wondering.

Today’s Party Pics are devoted to the Dressed to Kilt event which took place Monday night at Sotheby’s. So much tartan and so many bare legs (and hairy ones too); the pictures tell you what the party was like better than I could.

L. to r.: Sean Connery toasts the crowd; E. Jean Carroll; Nicky and Octavia Balestirri; Callum and Cathie Barton.
