madam turned best-selling author Sydney Biddle Barrows was
feted at a birthday bash by a gaggle of gals at Murray Hill’s
popular seafood house Metro Fish.
Owner Steve Karathanos
and photographer James Edstrom put the intimate soiree
together. At Barrow’s request they kept to the “no-men”
policy till later in the night.
In-the-know patrons and a
stream of “non regular” Wall Street honchos were trying to
figure out which of the 15 ladies might have been one of “Sydney’s
girls.” But it was
impossible to tell in the fashionably dressed crowd.

Some “non pros” were
easier to identify like the effervescent Jaid Barrymore (Drew’s
mama), event planner and Tall Club founder Annie Watt (she
stood out in the crowd!), writer and artist manager Liz
Derringer, realtor Chris Westwood and photographer Diane
Cohen.
Barrymore said, “It
would be flattering to be thought of as one of Sydney’s girls.”
Why not?
The blue-blooded Barrows had the well-deserved reputation
for only picking the brightest and prettiest ladies for her ultra
elite escort service.
Sydney is looking quite
young and fresh these days. She
must have learned some secrets from the book she’s writing on
cosmetic surgery and dermatology.
She’ll tell all about
that in Getting A Little Work Done, which she hopes should
be ready for publication soon. Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas
Romo has already written the forward.

After the sumptuous
lobster dinner a few lucky men were allowed in to wish the author
well and kiss her dewy cheeks. These included theater wag Aubrey
Reuben, jeweler John Wegorzewski and the young “Ethan
Hawke-ish” Raymond Larson, Barrymore’s latest
discovery.
