I'm on a High

Can I tell you…about the after party at the High Line. Following the CFDA Awards, me and my posse headed downtown to attend one of the hottest parties that was happening that evening. Friends of the High Line and Calvin Klein were hosting the event.Upon entry, we were greeted by the longest bar ever; bathed in purple light and flanked with model/ bartenders it was a sight for sore eyes. For once, there was no waiting for drinks much to everybody’s delight. You asked for it, you got it...subito!The space was packed with an incredible cross section of New York’s movers and shakers, fashionistas and celebrities. I met the iconic anti-model and artist Tony Ward,(yes, he dated Madonna briefly) who was surprisingly very friendly and totally into having his photo taken with me. Can I tell you...that totally made my night.Swarovski Award winners Alexander Wang and Justin Giunta joined Edward Norton, Tom Sachs, Diane von Furstenberg, Zoe Saldana, Debbie Harry, Lake Bell, Taylor Lautner,Bradley Cooper, Gerard Butler and Lisa Marie to inaugurate the space.Almost everybody from the CFDA Awards were here so it was a bit of dejavu but by this time of the evening, we were all getting ever so slightly intoxicated and having way too much fun.Photographers David Xavier Prutting and Neil Rasmus were mingling with the crowd and taking tons of photos. At this kind of an event, nobody is camera shy and these boys know everybody!Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Meredith Mellilng Burke, Jason Wu, Philip Lim, Richard Chai, Alejandro Ingelmo, Robert Geller, Erin Fetherston, Francisco Costa and Italo Zucchelli were all sipping cocktails and strolling through the park. It was such a magical evening, I was on a high!At one point in the evening we were getting hungry again and my friend, Peter Som even offered to whip something up from his apartment since he lives nearby. I think that was the vodka talking but if you didn't know already, Peter not only cooks a great meal but he can bake a mean pie!This was my second party at the High Line hosted by Calvin Klein and it was just as fabulous. It was also a fundraiser and open to the pubic. Proceeds from the ticket sales will go towards supporting the maintenance and operations of the park.
I can't wait to see the park during the day. I've heard it's absolutley gorgeous! That's next on my list after I get back from Hong Kong. I had a flight to catch the next day. Stay tuned!
