Parties
Sexy Class: The Black and White Ball
By Mark Thompson and Robert Doyle | Saturday Jan 2, 2010
It was forty-three years ago that the crème de la crème of New York society turned out for the legendary Black and White Ball thrown by Truman Capote at the Plaza Hotel, a party that became known as "the party of the century." Well, guess what-we’re in a new century now, and the New Year’s Eve Black and White Ball at the Chelsea Art Museum, produced by Josh Wood, Tony Fornabaio and Brandon Voss, the powerhouse triumvirate behind the recent resurgence of New York nightlife, proved that there’s a whole new pack of sexy A-listers who know how to carouse with as much panache and élan as anyone on Truman’s guest list.

Flight 747 :: Smooth Cruising
By Mark Thompson and Robert Doyle
With skillful aplomb, Josh Wood Airlines brought its 747 groove jet in for a picture-perfect smooth landing at Simyone Lounge (formerly Lotus) in the Meatpacking District-and the sexy Sunday night bash tore up the place on its opening night. That’s right: the floorboards literally came unglued as birthday boy DJ/producer Hector Fonseca threw down a rambunctiously infectious set while lissome opener Miami-native DJ Theresa provided live percussion on her bongos.

The Black and White Ball :: December 31, 2009
It was forty-three years ago that the crème de la crème of New York society turned out for the legendary Black and White Ball thrown by Truman Capote at the Plaza Hotel, a party that became known as "the party of the century." Well, guess what-we’re in a new century now, and the New Year’s Eve Black and White Ball at the Chelsea Art Museum, produced by Josh Wood, Tony Fornabaio and Brandon Voss, the powerhouse triumvirate behind the recent resurgence of New York nightlife, proved that there’s a whole new pack of sexy A-listers who know how to carouse with as much panache and élan as anyone on Truman’s guest list.

Alegria New Year’s Holiday :: December 27, 2009
Due to heightened security concerns in the US, Santa’s sleigh couldn’t make it to Alegria to deliver the décor-but in the end, what did it matter? As we’ve all learned in a miserable economy, what are a few less presents under the tree when we’re surrounded by family? As it was, Alegria New Year’s Holiday delivered a streamlined, sleek package of a party that showcased the latest sounds in the evolution of the musical maestros DJs Tony Moran and Abel.

White Party Muscle Beach :: November 29, 2009
From a distance, it looked as if a heavily-garlanded, gargantuan Christmas tree had dropped from space and exploded in the middle of 12th Street Beach. Crimson-and-gold ornaments dangled beneath flapping yellow banners and strings of lights, all swaying above a mass of gold-flecked muscle gods. It was Christmas on Muscle Beach and DJ Oren Nizri was Santa Claus, promising "I’m Gonna Sex You Up"-as if the sea of Santa’s helpers needed any persuasion. This was Santa’s workshop imported to South Beach, with over 3,000 of the hottest boytoys ready for delivery.

White Party 25 :: November 28, 2009
Like a film co-directed by Fellini and Pasolini, a twilight pastoral of silver-tongued decorum and orgiastic excess, White Party at Vizcaya has always been a fantasy-fueled evening limned by an elegiac escapism. For one thing, there’s the setting: a lushly-landscaped, thirty-acre Italian Renaissance-styled villa on Biscayne Bay.

Alegria Halloween 6 :: Nov 01, 2009
They had their marathon-and we had ours-and let’s all admit it right now: the circuit marathon is a helluva lot more fun and fabulous than running 26 miles from Staten Island. Why? Because, number one, we were dancing for 26 miles-and number two, because the finish line was Alegria-and we all know that the final leg of the marathon is the best, and particularly when you cross the threshold into Ric Sena’s Alegria @ M2 where collective joy reigns.
