Betsey Johnson and longtime business partner Chantal Bacon kicked up their glittery heels last night at the label’s Wooster Street store to commemorate three decades of girly decadence. Characters like Patrick McDonald and Julia Allison sipped pink Champagne while Bee Shaffer and Andrea Linett of “Lucky” perused rack after rack of ruffles and whimsy. The crowd of Betsey devotees and downtown rockabillies—that created the strange visual juxtaposition of tattoos and cartoon prints—noshed on tiny cupcakes, a well-stocked candy bar, and delicious tiny sliders. Unfortunately, the pink on the leopard prints wasn’t the only hot thing in the boutique. (Fellow revelers in the steamy space were eyeing my paper fan even more hungrily than the thimble-sized lobster under glass offered by the waiters.) But in spite of the sweltering temps, the laughter and intermittent squeals of “I’ve got to have this!” surely indicate that Ms. Johnson and Ms. Bacon have another 30 fun and yes, cartwheel-filled years ahead of them.
