LPR at Night

DECEMBER 19, 2006 --

Tuesday, December 12, LPR caught the Blisstones at Kenny's Castaways, and then wen to Manor for a PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) featuring cover person Joanna Krupa, who seems to attract photographers, as well people who believe fur belongs to animals, not not to furriers.

December 13, LPR went to Ultra where Scale was celebrating the season.

Next evening began with Glenn Freidel's photogram exhibit -- Luminous Transitions," at the KFMK Galleries.

This fascinating exhibit continues through January 9. From there, LPR stopped briefly at a Russian party at Uncle Ming's,
and then went to the Wilhelmina Models event at Myst, followed by the birthday celebration, at Grand, for Kim of Thompson Models.

The evening of December 15, it was back to Myst for the "Crossing Fifth Avenue" book party.

This is the autobiography of Ira Niemark,
retired head of Bergdorf Goodman. Mr. Niemark was not at this well-attended event, however.

Before going to Myst, LPR went to Stereo, for the launch party of Jekyl & Hyde, a new liqueur. (LPR had 2 complimentary J&L with pineapple juice -- and will
acknowledge that they seemed to ease cold symptoms.)

The Uncle Ming image and the first image at the Jekyl & Hyde party at Stereo show the difference between a figure -- and a person.

There seems, however, to be fewer differences between dancing crowds at the different Manhattan club.

Please see the crowd photo at Grand, December 14 and the crowd photo at Myst, December 15. The women seem
more dynamic than the men, with their arms raised, or sinewy motions -- styles that are duplicated at the clubs: Grand, Myst, Crobar, Manor, Ultra, Eugene"s,
Via, among others.

The Manhattan clubs -- providing Unity in Dance? Rocking politics? Republicans and Democrats -- to be succeeded by: The Rocking Party? And Rocking Chair Party?
