CFDA 2009









Justin won! Wheeeee! It was the night we have been waiting for for three years. And Tim won menswear! Hooooorah!
But lets start from the beginning. I met up with Mary and headed to the Upper East for a swellegant cocktail party at Sir Alan Campbell's home for Lulu Guinness. She was celebrating 20 years in the business and the British Consulate threw her a little bash. The house was fun of kooky art and kookier outfits! HIGHLIGHT- when gathering our coats in the master bedroom we commented on the view and a lady said Prince Harry enjoyed the view too while he slept there several weeks ago. Gasp! Im in Harry's bedroom!!!

Then we headed downtown for a quiet dinner at Pastis. While dinning I got the text- I won.
Well so much for a quiet night! We wrapped up dinner and bid adieu before I met up with Fay and the gang at Calvin Klein's Highline party to celebrate. Justin took that huge bottle opener of an award everywhere! We saw Danny Devito. Man is so tiny he could of been mistaken as a cocktail table or garden gnome.

From there we zizzed over to the new Jane Hotel for the Rodarte party which was swinging. Daphne Guinness and the whole fashion flock was rip roaring drunk and out of control. It was highly amusing to watch! Papa didn't get too blotto since Im still on meds for the strep throat but managed to have a pretty hysterical night.

Around 3am we called it quits and we all headed home, I with a smile on my face, Fay with a cocktail in her hand and Justin with a big ole trophy and a newly fat wallet!

CFDA Awards






This years were a bit lack luster for me.
Maybe because my two friends up for awards lost. Well Philip Crangi is a friend too, but I really wanted Justin to win for obvious reasons.
Maybe it was the death of YSL that gave the function a somber vibe. Last year seemed so much more peppy, amusing and exciting.
MAYBE it has to do with the ticket prices going up and up?! There were not nearly as many people this go around.
The space looks incredible and the food was great but they did run out of champagne. HELLO. It’s a fashion event!

Once the awards part of the evening ended Justin & Co had to stay for the dinner. Who thought that one up? So we went back to his house to wait for him and then he got dragged out to several parties so we hit the Beatrice. It was a fun night but not exactly the swinging time I had imagined. What's the fun of supporting your friend if you can't play with him afterwards?

On the flip side everyone looked amazing! See the picture of the four of us care of Hanuk.

Enjoy the warm weekend!
