Typical NYC Behavior

Yesterday was a typical NYC day. I had made some plans, but they changed every hour and I kind of liked it. This playing by ear is a dear friend of mine and when in the city that never sleeps it is the perfect way to go about since so many possibilities lie unexplored in front of you that you don’t want to miss. So completely unexpectedly and very spontaneous I met up with French photographer Chervine, whom I shot with in December and we indulged in a typical NYC night.

Coca Cola threw a 125 year birthday bash with red carpet, tons of celebs and good canapes and drinks ad lib. I was late (Sorry Chervine!) and we spent less than an hour at this party because we had a long night of other parties to attend.

Next was the show of the amazing photographer Rankin. And here is what I adore about this city: Everything is a hop and skip away. We walked 3 blocks from Coca Cola to photography central. In heels. Being a Los Angeles resident this walking situation is such a bliss. At Rankin’s show Heidi Klum walked out as we entered and the place was jammed with a truly funky and cool NYC scene meaning: A very international scene. So many French, German, Danish, Swedish, South American and New Yorkers bien sur at the same spot. NYC I love you!!!! This is a friggin’ human zoo. So inspiring compared to anything or anywhere else in the world. Period! We stayed here a while and admired the images. I would die to shoot with this man. His photographs are truly beautiful. Wow!

Then we walked not even a block east to the Whitney Museum Auction party. Here the scene was slightly more ‘adult’ and Upper east Side posh so to speak. Red carpet, more finger foods, a flow of drinks and beautiful people in Tuxedos, Hermés and Balenciaga. The venue of this party was breathtaking to say the least and enormous. And it was jammed with editors, art collectors, fashionistas, models, film industry peeps and the likes.

Chervine and I were like fish in the water between delicious drinks, food, art, music and die-hard New Yorkers. But as the party was beginning to go into rage mode I made a Houdini and escaped to my pad in Ivy League Central. AKA Columbia University.

Today I’m planning to see the McQueen exhibit at The Met. But who knows, I’m probably doing something else last minute. It is NYC after all… 😉

A few pics from last night:

Love this shot of Heidi Klum in chocolate!!!

Danish Super model Helena Christensen… Had to put her in there since she is Danish like moi. But that is also the only thing we have in common 😉

This image of Blondie was up for grabs at The Whitney Museum Auction…. Anyone…?
