 YOUNG, social and hip crowd put on
their crimson finery and descended the dark red staircase to the
Doubles Club, at the Sherry Netherland Hotel. The associate
committee, including Heather Sargent, Mimi Moulton, Mary Van Pelt
and Mark Gilbertson, and its guiding light Wendy Carduner,
proclaimed the night Red-Scarlet and placed hundreds upon hundreds
of red balloons everywhere.
A huge arc of balloons swayed as "chicettes"
such as Eva Dillon in a sizzling red dress by Celine, Bryn
Johnson, Melissa Berkelhammar, Lisa Gorrivan, Elizabeth
Merck in a black low cut dress by Prada, Eugenie Niven,
Leslie and Andrew Heaney, Alta Thorne in a
turquoise Prada dress with glittering jewels cascading down the
front, Eric Javits, Elizabeth Meigher, Tatiana
Papanicolaou looking stunning in a scarlet strapless dress by
Versace, Blair Husain, Geoffrey Bradfield, Andrea
Karambelas and Jared DuPont Goss, entered the dining
room.
Friends mingled amid laughter and clinking glasses
before sitting down to a mouthwatering supper of Chicken Cordon
Bleu, mixed greens and an eggplant and mozzarella fraize.
After dinner, tables were pushed back and guests
kicked up their heels and danced the night away.
Among those who got the temperature rising were Polly
Onet, Douglas Lake, Suzannah Smith, Michael Cargo, Gillian Miniter,
Peter Smith, Harper’s Bazaar’s Kristina Stewart,
Ward Simmons, Jonathon and Elizabeth Elliot, Donna Simonelli,
Luis Montero, Katherine Nedelkoff, Peter Manice, Rebecca Silver,
Ward Simmons, Melinda Dubow, John Royal, Phoebe Donham, Vaughn
Massey, Donna Allen, Stuart Mclean, Andrea Karambelas, Laura Yaggy,
Tom Murphy, Monique Yazigi, Mary Van Pelt, Shelby Burley, Virginia
Apple, Wibby Sebener, Mimi Moulton and Nicole Perry.
