In certain realms of society, high profile estate disputes are equivalent to a day at the races. Bets are placed, money is both won and lost and men emerge victorious at the expense of others. Perhaps, if the aforementioned sod had known how to better manage his estate, or had the foresight to appropriately plan [...]
The “Once Upon a Time in Manhattan” benefit at Marquee celebrated the ongoing achievements of the Ronald McDonald House, a not for profit center that provides housing and social programs for children with cancer who are outpatients in one of fourteen hospitals in New York City. Proceeds from ticket sales and a wonderfully eclectic silent [...]
I found myself in the Standard Grill at 12am last night, drinking the standard ketel one rocks two slices of lime. As I stood outside to smoke a cigarette, I looked upwards, to the penthouse floor that now houses the much touted “Boom Boom Room.” My night had begun at the entrance to the Standard [...]
The Wayward Pen Foundation hosted the premiere of “The Corridor,” a play by Slovenian author Matjaz Zupancic, this week at The Box. Our Hostess this evening was Larisa Schweiger Drekonja, a Slovenian actress, model and artist, whose presence was infinitely fitting to the old world glamour emanating from the venue itself.

The venue appeared impossibly small for such a gathering, a circuitous entrance involving flights of stairs, escalators and concrete corridors plastered with film posters, led to a cavernous [...]
The third triennial video and photography exhibit at the International Center for Photography, was aptly entitled “ Dress Code.” Featured artists provided their own interpretation of style, figure and fashion from behind the seams. The sky was overcast, the wind was crisp and it was 12:30pm. Scallywag has undoubtedly given me some unique assignments, though this [...]
