A stiletto clad mob bombarded the doors of the Guess by Marciano store in Soho for their chance to rub elbows with MTV‘s ‘The City‘ cast members who were on hand the party and support the Susan G. Komen for The Cure Greater New York. Whitney Port, Olivia Palermo and  ELLE’s creative director Joe Zee were in attendance;  along with Ramona Singer, who looked amazing with her new shoulder length hair cut and Alex McCord and her partner in crime Simon van Kempen from Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York.

The party was jam packed with beautiful and fashionable industry insiders many of whom made sure to be in the direct line of the camera crew taping.  Seriously trying to get their 2 mili seconds of fame.  Yes, they were actually taping an episode of The City.

Squeezing and battling my way through the boutique and desperately looking for the bar or a server with a drink, I stumbled upon the tiniest hors d’oeuvres known to man.  I mean geez, there are some fashion people who do eat.  I tried some chicken and shrimp “appetizer” which I forgot about almost as soon as I ate the thing.  Fortunately, the wine was  so on point that the lack of food was forgiven.   The music provided by DJs Jamie Biden and Alexandra Richards was a wonderful distraction from the overcrowded event.  With a drink in hand and Jamiroquai’s Just Dance blasting on the speakers I found myself feeling quite content.  While scanning the room I caught a glimpse of Tinsley Mortimer, Rick Fox with his lovely arm candy Elisha Dushku and Marc Indelicato from ABC’s Ugly Betty among others.

But the highlight for me was for my minimal $5 donation that supported Susan G. Komen for The Cure Greater New York(one of sponsors for the party) I scored some fantastic swag.  I got one of those cute hangers that holds your purse on tables, it even has sparkles on it,  Lock and Mane dry shampoo, philosophy one-step facial cleanser and Essie nail polish in ruby slippers just to mention a few.  Jealous?…you should be

And, if you aren’t jealous already will be after you see the pictures….
