One Wild Night at The Standard

About two months ago I received an email from Andre Balazs’ famously cheeky Standard Hotel.

It was a picture of a naked lady wearing a tool belt and it said, "If You Don’t Mind Our Banging, We Don’t Mind Yours."

It was an offer to friends and family of The Standard to come stay while the newest Standard hotel is still under construction in the Meat Packing District over the Highline.

I have met Andre at many a rowdy party as well as interviewed him for Style.com. His VP of Marketing is one of my new favorite and fabulous friends, Lucy McIntyre.

Price and Salman just happen to be coming to town for a week and she jumped on the idea of renting a suite overlooking the Hudson. We booked the room and she invited a gaggle of friends and the party was on!

We checked in at 4pm on Saturday and set up the bar in time for sunset cocktails. We put on the ipod and Edmond hit play on his Serge Gainsbourg DVD and we got the party started. I enjoy drinking but I think we may have set the record for drinking from 4pm-4am! Funny though when you drink for so long, none of us got obliterated, just 'happy'. About 20 people came in and out all night; we ordered hot wings and took a couple of behind the scenes tours (shhhh!).

Highlights included the amazing sunset, trying out the bathtub and lying on the bed catching up with friends. I felt like Frank Sinatra hosting a swinging 60's shindig!

At 4am when the booze ran out we got into our PJ's and piled into bed!

I suggest everyone try out the hotel before full price nights are here. As you can tell, we had a marvelous party!
