Checking in with New York Social Diary, darlings!

Dr. Luca Parolari and Dr. Joven Cuanang admiring Susan Rockefeller's successful finger extension.

Fore! Ginette Ogur goes for Rhea Perlman LPGA glamour with a bold plaid jacket and sassy capris that show off her pins to their best advantage, while Meryl Elbaum models aqua golf spikes.

My favorite thread on the DL!

Mario Buatta models the late Brooke Astor's priceless Regency-period pussy wig

A dubious Judith Hoffman is condoled by Roosey Khawley (in a smart blue contrasting belt), while Theresa Khawley seems to be modeling next season's de trop accessory: a third hand.

Alicia Longwell poops elegantly into her Depends

Libby and Shahab Karmely (right) lighting up the night in the latest from the Temple Grandin collection.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall: Who's the lumpy-shiniest of them all?

Arlene Slavin and Deborah Buck attend a fundraise for the North Shore Womyn's Garden Collective.

Who's the hot piece on the left, R8?

The pleather suit in OPs pic is actually a very cool and expensive Courrege. It just doesn't suit her it should be worn by a much younger person it makes her look like granny a go-go

Those guys in R8 are most definitely NOKD.

Where is our goddess Somers Farkas?

OP

You're slipping. 13 posts and not a social X-ray among them yet.

I have been to a bunch of these parties over the years when my mother could not find a date or thought it would be good for me to be there for business/social reasons (it never was.)

They are every bit as bizarre as they look, sort of like the bar scene from Star Wars or one of those plays like "Tony and Tina's Wedding" where everyone at the party is really an actor playing an over the top character.

Lots of women like the woman in bright blue in OP, where you look at the outfit and think "okay, this could either be something she bought for $40 on 14th Street or $40K on Madison Avenue, and given where we are, I'm betting on the latter, but lady, you are about 30 years too old for that."

Lots of overweight guys with bad combovers and expensive watches also wearing clothing that either says "uptown pimp store" or "overpriced Italian designer"

And a total Tom Wolfe-ian sense that people are saying hello in an attempt to ascertain whether they need to say anything else to you.

My mother has a squad of other 70somethings she hangs out with and they kind of do their own thing and ignore everyone else, so she's oblivious to how bizarre the whole thing is, but thank you OP, because these pictures bring back a half dozen of the oddest nights of my life.

OP: Jean Shafiroff is serving up some Brenda Dickson realness.

That's MAJORETTE Jean Shafiroff, Op!

Ha! That's Bo Dietl in the shiny blue suit at R8

Mario Buatta is rather late himself r4

Agreed! Love the earlier thread, looking forward to more postings on this thread.

They're all closet Trumpkins.

Enjoy it while it lasts,folks.....

So who is cute Mr. Eyebrows, OP?

So these are the point o one percenters?

These are the people we're supposed to eat when we start starving?

They don't look very tasty. The women look stringy and the men look to be an odd combination of fatty and gamy.

If you liked them in "The Shining," you'll LOVE them in the Social Diary.

What a quirky host to permit the dears at R25 to wear their pajamas to the party!

This thread had tremendous potential. Let us make sure we allow it to realize its full potential.

Wow R15, they all look like the talk extremely loudly and lack even the slightest bit of self-awareness. Each one probably thinks they are the "Normal One", ha-ha.

None of the cretins in these pics are fit to kiss the kitten heels of Babe, Slim or Nan.

For those who missed the spring/summer Diary

Isabelle Simone has a firm grasp of portly Jack Erickson’s 14 inch situation ....

Sarah McNear shoulders dazzle in a sheer top ... even after a pre-partyy scuffle with a raccoon in a wind storm.

Edith Montebello shares that toothy smile we all kmow and love. Sparkle on Edith!

Edith Montebello shares that that toothy smile we all know and love. Sparkle on Edith!

Cole Rumbough secretly curses Christine Schott Ledes for being blessed with the chin he pines for ... and then some!

Yeah, this thread is hilarious, but please...a serious question:

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE, and what SERIOUSLY have they ever contributed to society?

R36, Glamour, darling! Glamour!

We need the Baroness von Langendorff! We still need to add Somers Farkas, Amy Fine Collins and Mary McFadden!

Who's the babe in yellow with her pantyhose displayed? Interesting shoes. Fetching green lipstick, too.

R38, That's artist Karen Bystedt.

80 year old Mary McFadden on the right. She's been married 11 times!

That Cole Rumbaugh is an unfortunate looking fellow. It's a good thing he has family money.

Carolyne Roehm and Cece Cord never go out for the evening without having their faces freshly buffed and polished.

Mary McFadden is photographed clutching her cape just as she is about to drain the blood from her latest victim, man-about-town Gregory Speck.

R15, are you or your mother someone we've heard of? She sounds like fun & you're pretty funny -- "sort of like the bar scene from Star Wars" indeed!

That unfortunate Cole Rumbough fancies himself a cabaret singer. I've never heard him perform so can't say whether he's played the Carlyle based on talent or a large check.

[quote] That unfortunate Cole Rumbough fancies himself a cabaret singer. I've never heard him perform so can't say whether he's played the Carlyle based on talent or a large check.

Oh does he now? I observe that he claims that actress Christine Ebersole says of him, "Cole Rumbough’s musical charms are a throwback to the good old days of elegance, sophistication, and glamour."

I note she does not mention his missing chin.

What happened to his chin?

Martha Stewart to the left, and DL Icon Somers Farkas (looking a bit less like a roast chicken) on the right.

Amy Fine Collins, on the left, of course, with her amazing ears!

Back when "society" meant something: CZ Guest and Consuelo Vanderbilt

R49, who's the guy in yellow? The original lounge lizard!

Yellow jacket guy looks like Hamish Bowles, who's the international editor at Vogue.

R51, That's Hamish Bowles, the Editor of the European edition of 'Vogue'.

Shouldn't the editor of "Vogue" (any edition) know better than to dress like a bumblebee?

R43, Is he any relation to Richard Speck?
