Dear Shaded Viewers,

My kitchen still looks like someone blew up a liquor store with an atomic bomb and I'm feeling a bit woozy....but here are some shots from last night. I thought it was pretty legendary. It reminded me of being back at Jackie 60 or Danceteria or Save the Robots and I was so proud to have so many brilliant, creative people in my apartment all at the same time. The East Village may be full of bland yuppies and lackluster NYU students now but that doesn't mean I can't keep the bohemian tradition going on my own terms under my own roof.

When Laine walked in I really felt like I was back at The Pyramid Club or Danceteria circa 1985 (back when I was just a fetus in a jar, carried around New York by Andy Warhol). She wore cardboard-cutouts of Sophia Loren's hands from a famous Ron Galella photo. Brilliant.

A Back-in-the-90s reunion: Isabel and Chris Teen haven't seen each other in over 10 years!

Because it just isn't a party without Patrick McDonald. The cute French man, Pascal, was taking photos for Telerama, the magazine with the largest circulation in France.

As the night wore on and we switched from Champagne and wine to vodka and bourbon, things became even more legendary. Night club royalty Johnny Dynell and Chi Chi Valenti made their entrance. Photographer Michael James O'Brien checked in as well.

Today's kids and their lingo: Carlota and Max moments before they "bounced"; The price I pay for refusing to serve drinks in tacky plastic cups: a kitchen floor paved with broken glasses.

The main topic of discussion was Diane's upcoming appearance at The Met; cool cats from France and Italy.

I'm exhausted. Thanks for reading.

Love,

Glenn Belverio
