About Last Night... PAPER's Annual Beautiful People Party at Hiro Ballroom
By Caroline Torem Craig
Apparently, New York City ranks fourth in the world in terms of population density, and it felt as if the whole city was crowded together at PAPER’s Beautiful People party held at the Hiro Ballroom last night! Californian crooner and BP cover girl Joanna Newsom performed for the throngs of rabid fans. All in all, it was a great, young, crowded, fun, laid-back party, but then all of a sudden the pressure was ON when Bjork, notoriously anti-photographer, arrived. It was my mission to document her iconic presence at our party! And I fought like a Nimiean lion to do it. I got four frames -- pop, pop, pop, pop -- just like the champagne served that evening, courtesy of Nicolas Feuillatte. The icing on the cake? H&M provide a PAPER + H&M T-shirt for all guests which read “I am a beautiful person.”
Party people; Bjork!

Well not all of NYCS' beautiful people were at the party last night. G-Rod The Beautiful was on friend / baby sitting duty.

I'm amazed that crazy bitch BJork let you take the picture without trying to bite you, scratch you, tear your clothes and all around kick your ass. She once kicked me in the balls in Stockholm!

omg! I can't believe bjork is actually a normal person and not someone who kicks and screams whenever someone does something against her will despite her repeatedly asking them nicely not to...I really thought she wasn't one uf us. Us normal people that would keep quiet and let us be robbed on our integrity without a fight.
You all know who's the corageous one.
When I met her she was very timid and shy, so no wonder why she feels violated when people snap hundreds of pictures of her when she's not "working".
Yeah I said you're fat. Fuck you with something hard and sandpapery.

Not a single photo of the amazing and talented Jacqueline Di Milia? I mean she did only shoot this years Beautiful People issue. Do some research kids.
Great Party though.
