Friday February 3, 2006, The Lycée Français
de New York held a Gala fund-raising evening themed "1001
Nights" At
Cipriani 42nd Street. The décor recreated the Arabian atmosphere
and costumed student from the Lycee welcomed the guests. During cocktails
and hors d'oeuvres the audience bid on items in the silent auction.
After dinner with a special appetizer by Daniel Boulud, Simon
de Pury conducted a live auction. The Charles de Ferry de
Fontnouvelle Award, which
recognizes distinguished service
to the French-American, was presented to Michel Pebereau, Chairman
of BNP Paribas. After the award presentation, there was a
performance by belly dancers and a whirling dervish. The event lasted
into the night with a mix of Middle Eastern and occidental
music. |

| The
new collection of Anand Jon, who was recently named one of India’s
50 Most Beautiful People, is an amalgam of the East and West, ancient wisdom
with modern technology, exotica and mainstream — juxtapositions that embody
the Anand Jon lifestyle. |

Wednesday’s ago, Susan Schulz, Editor-in-Chief of CosmoGIRL!, along with Kimberly

CosmoGIRL!, if
you didn’t know, and I didn’t (why would
I?) is the number one teen magazine on the newsstand. Every month
seven and a half million young women every month pick it up.
They pride themselves on showing their audience what a teenage
girl would
or should want to look like. "Part of feeling confident
about yourself is showing your sense of style. CosmoGIRL!'s readers
want the latest, hottest stuff but they all want to put their
unique
twist on a look so that they don't look like everyone else," Schulz
says. In other words, they want to look like everyone else but
they don’t’ want to look like everyone else. Which
is a little like being in two places at one time. Well, why not?
Anyway, the only place to be last Wednesday night, for some people
anyway, was Stereo and the CosmoGIRL! Party.
