A very happening Halloween

Halloween’s always busy, but this year it was insane. Requests came in weeks in advance and everyone wanted the hottest venues. The clubs were starting their parties from Thursday so it was actually Halloween weekend I was preparing for. I had an amazing time at The Box, Boom Boom Room, and RDV. The Box is the quintessential experience of eccentricity and debauchery all mixed into one big unforgettable experience. The show was amazing; definitely jaw dropping. I’ll leave the details to the imagination.

I went to Boom Boom Room last night which is fast becoming a fave of mine, as it’s bustling with celebrity types like Daphne Guinness, the stylist for all of David LaChappelle and Steven Klein’s photo shoots. She was definitely a show stopper with her disgustingly gorgeous Nina Ricci shoes on. And need I mention how hot Andre Balazs is. Boom is definitely my new Hot Spot. Tonight is a big night. The owner Redd Stylez of The Gates will be celebrating his Birthday tonight so that should be a wild one. I’ll make a cameo as he always takes care of us at Quintessentially. Then I’m off to Juliet, which is the newest nightlife venue opened in NYC. When I recover myself, I can reflect that there’s never a dull moment.
