Some Book Launch Party

A few nights ago after too many cocktails with some of my octogenarian friends at Gino's I was fumbling around in my bag for my wallet and found an invite to this party. I dashed over with my dear friend Sylvester Samsonite (87 year old heir to the Samsonite luggage fortune). Although rich as can be he loves to hit parties for free drinks and food

We were greeted at the door by Mary McFadden who had forgotten to wear lipstick and seemed extremely disoriented. I was shocked that she had a raccoon in her purse. I told her I couldn't talk to her unless she did something with her lips and

headed for the food bar.

Unfortunately- there wasn't even a cube of cheese left. Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra had consumed everything (see bellies below). Christopher Makos thought it was very funny for some reason and that character on the right took my glasses off and put them on.

I spent most of the evening trying to get them back from him. He finally handed them to me when I told him he could buy a better fitting pair for himself at Sol Moscot.

The very courageous Niki Hilton was there as well. As you know she suffers from a severe case of ingrown toenails and has had an extremely tough time since her last surgery. She was wearing an unsightly medical boot and requested I not photograph it.

I told her she should think about a perm. Her hair seemed so limp! I think she was with her psychic but I am not sure.
