funds, fun, and fashion
March 20, 2008 5:04 pm
Seems no one’s free from smut charges this week. The allegations are piling up against against starlets from L. Lo to sweet-faced Charlotte from “Sex and the City.” (”The Hills” star Audrina Patridge is rather less of a surprise.) Even Hillary’s gotten mixed up in the action, garnering support from an unlikely source: the owner of Nevada’s Moonlite BunnyRanch brothel. Let’s hope he’s not exposed by Eliot Spitzer’s, um, confidante, Ashley Dupré, who’s due to testify soon against two high-class escort services. Now that would be embarrassing.
If we were going to abuse political funds, our first stop would most likely be the Hermès sample sale this weekend, or possibly Atlantic City, where cardsharps can use the new, just-issued $25,000 gold gambling chip, which would cash out to about 83 silk scarves from the French luxury house.
Fun-loving fashion types will have a new weeknight ritual to look forward to this fall: the TV version of Barneys creative director (and in-house side-stitcher) Simon Doonan’s memoir, “Nasty: My Family and Other Glamorous Varmints,” due to air on BBC2 in the U.K. No love for the U.S., Simon? At least someone’s showing some affection for the States: Beatrice Inn owners Matt Abramcyk and Paul Sevigny continue their empire expansion, divulging plans to open a club (of sorts) in the basement of the Puck Building. And what of tonight’s plans? Hip-hop moguls with fashion lines and designers with hip-hop links are showing their clothes in a beat-box heavy roundup at Hammerstein Ballroom. Last time we checked, tickets were still available.
