Hallo-V-een

I don't know if it was just the setting (soaring ceilings, imposing stone fireplace, cascades of red velvet, and giant works of modern art in the bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel), but the V halloween party was probably as close as downtown gets to a proper costume party. Supermodels (Gemma, Daria, Behati), the fashion elite (Mario Sorrenti, Donna Karan, Donatella–well, James Kaliardos dressed up as), all in costumes that would win first place at a regular party. But there were no winners or losers here. Just beautiful people at a fashion party. And as expected, people got naked on the pool table, danced on broken glass, and got hauled, passed out drunk on their boyfriends' shoulders, into waiting taxis. Huge success. We took pictures of whoever we thought looked interesting. Which, didn't include Josh Hartnett, whose Bob Dylan costume apparently didn't catch our eye. Oops.
