a night at cipriani
so tonight peiru and i got decked out--she looking very gamine in a vintage designer dress and me in my one and only cocktail number that i've repeated in such desperate times--and made our way to cipriani for the new museum gala.
SIR elton john was the guest of honour and thanks to company's philanthropy, us small fries got prime seats in the house, at the table right next to SIR elton, marc jacobs and cindy sherman (famous cutting-edge photographer of whom this gala was in honour. of course i didn't even know all this until my cultured friend peiru enlightened me. haha)
but whatever--we had fun getting star struck (more like she spotted the artists and gave me speedy tutorials "he's great artist--he did such and such..." isn't it convenient to have a best friend who's so in the know???)
what a great way to see the side of ny we would never be able to afford-- through glasses of frosty bellini and cutesy petit fours. rubbing shoulders with high society was pretty fun, and even better was getting a $1000 per head dinner for absolutely NOTHING!
highlight of the night was a photographer who took a picture of peiru and asked where her dress was from. we found out later she works for VOGUE. Talk about a compliment!!! woo hoo! you go fashionista!!
