Ah, yes, the Beatrice Inn, where downtown fashionistas in skinny jeans and vintage concert tees stomp their purposefully scuffed boots to rock ‘n’ roll standards and sneakily smoke cigarettes while…hold on. Who’s the tall, rather powerful-looking man in the corner? What’s Dallas Mavericks star Jason Kidd doing in this milieu? And the two gentlemen who look like they’ve been knocked around a few times? None other than New York Rangers Sean Avery and Brendan Shanahan. The pair were sharing a velvet banquette with Lauren Santo Domingo, May Andersen, and Olivier Theyskens, who were fresh from the American Ballet Theater gala—a random seating selection if we’ve ever seen one. And it only got weirder. “That’s my intern,” Santo Domingo teased to Theyskens when she introduced him to Avery, who diligently played the part. “What can I get you to drink?” he asked, adding sotto voce to Shanahan, “You’ve got to kiss up to your boss.” Feeling left out, Shanahan inquired if Style.com was still taking summer intern applications (the father of twins even inquired about CondéNet’s nanny services). Theyskens, however, was left scratching his head. “But what does he do in the office?” the designer wondered. “Does he want to intern at Nina Ricci next summer?”
