The Tale of Two Galas March 5, 2007

Posted by socialrank in : Articles , trackback

sr-coke07.jpgOur two glamorous female spies at the Frick Collection Ball encountered quite a traffic jam at the downstairs ladies bathroom. And we’re not talking over-crowding. We are talking illegal kind of “Traffic”, the one that comes in white, powdery form. “@#%^&! came in to the restroom and profusely tried to clean her nose out in front of the mirror. She then went to a stall and come out few minutes later, trying to clean up another mess….” the text message read. @#%^&!, who’s an under thirty young society girl wasn’t the only one. Twenty minutes later, offender number two who has close relationship with one of the top socialites came in to refresh herself with Columbian nose candy while screaming to herself and frantically dialing her phone. There was of course a great Angel Sanchez sponsored party outside of women’s bathroom. Tinsley Mortimer, who politely greeted all guests in reception area stole the show in the gold number, just like Victoria Traina has a year earlier. Meredith Melling Burke, Lauren DuPont, Claire Bernard, Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, Lydia Fenet, Marina Rust Connor, and lately overly hyped Olivia Palermo were others to sip wine and enjoy the music in the decorative gallery. One of our spies felt bad for Little Miss Melissa Berkelhammer: “I watched her like for the whole night. And she was all alone with her phone. Poor soul. She looked nice though.” The very same snitch observed that Derek Blasberg seemed gained a little of weight but looked “well put together and all-around proper.”

Earlier in the week, Museum of the City of New York held its little stepsister gala with big-time ticket buyers. Debbie Bancroft and Jamee Gregory looked glamorous, while Lisa Airan once again arrived with Gilles Mendel. Russell Simmons, according to one attendee is “losing his mind without Kimora. He’s hitting on Upper East Side ladies while she’s in Hollywood going to Oscars and all”. Olivia Palermo, Eleanor Ylvisaker, Somers Farkas, and Alexis Bryan were others to support the institution.

And so the undoing begins… or so we wish.

Big whoop. So some airheads are packing their little noses at a party? Yaaaaaaaaaawn.

Call me when they stop skittering around like a herd of gilded sheep, bleating at one another, and start doing something interesting like shooting speed balls. These mutton-heads, bless their vapid souls, can’t muster an original thought to save their lives.

I’m thinking of getting some horny Pugs and naming them Tinsley and Topper. Or maybe Ike and Tina. Undecided.

Caramba!

I figured out why I want to get some Pugs and call them Tinsley and Topper!

She LOOKS LIKE A HYBRID OF TORI SPELLING AND A FAWN PUG in that dress. And Topper is all puffy and chunky and I can imagine him grunting and snorting like a Pug.

Feel much better now.

6. frank - March 5, 2007

8. bex - March 5, 2007

goldylocks is wearing the big bad wolf….and is looking like grandma

Marina Rust just lost all credibility in my book.
I can’t believe she let herself be seen, much less photographed with trash like Tinsley Mortimer.

I originally came to this site to read articles such as these.

Tinsley’s dress is lovely! It’s quite daring. Dabney also looked marvelous that evening. I wish Dabney partied more and was as controversial as her older sister. Topper and Tinsley were adorable! He does not look like a pig or a pug. In fact, I think that if Peter Davis didn’t groom himself as he does, he would look just like Topper. They share some features.

Marina Rust Connor is definitely making a comeback to photographed New York society. And thank God! She was one of the original Park Avenue princesses.

Peter Davis and Topper are 1/2 brothers, I think. They are definitely related. Tinsley is the BIG coke head and her dress is adorable.

12. Trieste - March 5, 2007

Tinsley looks cute. But I’m not really feeling the dress.

Lauren Davis looks like a paler, and much much much much skinnier version of Nicole Richie.

Who was doing the coke???? TELL NOW!
