It’s like a whole year of Star magazine all on one night!

I wish I could regale you with a minutely detailed recounting of the ANDY WARHOL/SUPERNOVA: Stars, Deaths, and Disasters, 1962-1964, exhibition preview party on November 12, but I can’t.

Because aside from a quick jaunt from one end of the building to the other to say hello to the folks I knew, I spent the evening camped out in Gallery 8 with Edie Sedgwick. No, not THAT Edie Sedgwick, but a very, very close rendition.

The faux Edie put on quite a show with compositions and songs ranging in theme from Martin Sheen to the Olsen Twins. She also performed a few select haikus. I danced, and I sang, and I leaned over to Giselle from PR/Marketing and said, “It’s like a whole year of Star magazine all on one night!”

Faux Edie - rock it!
