Tales Of Precious Pets
And Puppy Dog Tails!

AIR GURU Kevin Maple, who makes all the social ladies beautiful, teamed up with Penny and Jay Lieberman to host book signing for their great pal Dr. Tom De Vicentis and his Tails of the City. Over a hundred guests swarmed through Kevin’s beautifully decorated home (which has already been featured in several magazine spreads) while nibbling on tasty treats like mini croquet monsieur from master chef Brent Newsome.

Everyone couldn’t wait to peruse his chronicles of life in the city as New York’s celebrity veterinarian. The book is a delightfully charming read that will have animal lovers smiling at the sweet "tails" he writes about.

A preface by Carolyn Roehm and illustrations by the brilliant Bill Charmatz compliment Tom’s tender and insightful stories about the effect of our furry friends on our lives make this tome simply lovely. With endorsements by the likes of Town & Country editor Pamela Fiori, the book is sure to be a best seller.

Kevin, the consummate host, greeted his guests with his mother Pat Maple at his side. In the crowd were Amy and Richard Plum, Peter Hallock and Craig Mowry, Lisa Lieberman, John Haigney and his twin James Haigney, CFDA’s Stan Herman, John Wegorzewski, Mary Ellen Winston, and scores of Kevin’s fellow riders from the Smithtown Hunt Club.

Spring Fling at Parrish

OU definitely know when summer is right around the corner when the Parrish Art Museum holds its official launch of the coming season, the annual Spring Fling. It brought out one of the largest crowds in the history of the gala, thanks to co-chairs Nancy Hardy and Susan Davis and their hard-working vice chairs Christine Curiale, Leslie Halsted, Leith McLoughlin, Robin Pauli, and Maryanne Robinson.

The Saturday Night Fever theme encouraged lots of folks to pull out their 1970s disco wear in all its shiny polyester glory – just the right thing to hit the dance floor and get into the groove.

Newly appointed executive director Terrie Sultan and Alicia Longwell, the Lewis B. and Dorothy B. Cullman Curator, were on hand to point out highlights of the student art on display.

Doing their best Travolta moves were Southampton Village Mayor Mark Epley and wife Maryanne, Shaunagh Byrne, Joy Marks, Jeanette Hekton, Neill Slaughter, Keith and Anne Davis, John Brancati, Ernest Cervi, Meegan Darby, Jeanine Edington, Anese Young, Dr. Martin and Blossom Gluck, Davis Gaffga, Dr. Evan and Bonnie Nadal, Bernard Green, Alison Sneed, Jackie Worth, Elliot Epstein, Stephanie Finkelstein, Patricia Garrity, Rick Hoffman, Roberta O. Hunter, Michael Kent, Gary Lawrance, Michaela Keszler, Nancy Blasko, Karli Kittine, Robin L. Long, Beth E. Marano, Alexis Mayer, Karen A. McNamara, Eileen Mercer, Adam Miller, and Laura and John Wynne.

Reel Talk

RODUCER Patricia Watt is back from France where Mark Mitchell's film Liszt for President or en francais, Votre ou Mourir (Vote or Die), won best English speaking film at the ECU Film Festival, aka the European Independent Film Festival at the Bibliotheque Mitterand in Paris.

Marisa Berenson liked the film so much they are adding a scene with her, says producer Watt. Berenson will play the mistress of the French president, portrayed by Count Alexandre DeLesseps, whose wife, LuAnn DeLesseps, is a star of the The Real Housewives of New York on Bravo.

Haim Mizrahi and Joan Zandell

Gallery Going

ENAISSANCE man Haim Mizrahi returned from his annual stint in his native Israel with a new perspective and trunks full of new works created while he was in Jerusalem. The prolific artist showed off his latest efforts in a show entitled, "Clean as a Whistler."

The event was not simply an exhibition but an art happening with music, poetry readings and lively discussions. The NYC Jazz Trio of Yaaki Levy, Bob Bowen and Justin Wert kept the music cool and easy. Occasionally, Haim would break away from his guests to read one of his poems to a soft musical accompaniment.

The published poet and composer never ceases to amaze the art community with his many talents. And it wouldn’t be a "Haim Happening" without plenty of percussion provided by his drumming circle pals.

On hand to admire his new mixed media works were Michael Cardacino, Rosalind Brenner, Frank Sofo and Jana and Jim Hayden, Teri and Kevin Kennedy, Abby Abrams, Dana Dolan, Sherry Schreiber, Spencer Michlim, Dan Becker, Stephen Finkel, Arie Goldberg, Susie Mandelbaum, Alfredo Morat and Zaza.

Mega Star Wattage for Hamptons

EW YORK and Hamptons hostesses are rushing to add to their address books – and benefit invitation

lists – some big names who have recently chosen to summer on the East End Golden Riviera. In recent

weeks, Michael J. Fox and wife Tracy Pollan and their brood have set up house in a classic Quogue manse and Tiger Woods and his beautiful wife Elin have reportedly snared Marty Richards and Mary Lea Johnson’s fabulous By the Sea on Gin Lane.

What do you get when you combine a gifted composer and hands-on parent with a bunch of bright kids eager to learn music? On the East End, that combo spells Bruce Wolosoff and the Hayground School Creative Orchestra, the successful outgrowth of an intensive three-week musical composition workshop for kids from 6 to 13. For the fourth year in a row, Bruce was composer in residence and conducted a free concert.

A much respected composer, Wolosoff has focused on opera in recent years, composing for the Center for Contemporary Opera in New York and members of the Royal Danish Opera.

He completed Songs without Words, a large scale set of pieces scored for amplified string quartet, for the Carpe Diem String Quartet. At the conclusion of his Hayground residency, Wolosoff began scoring the feature film Iron Cross, a revenge thriller written and directed by Joshua Newton that was Roy Scheider’s last film (the late actor and Hayground co-founder was a close personal friend of the Wolosoffs).
