Introducing "About Last Night..."

Though it's not a requirement, its certainly encouraged here at PAPER to sample the fruits of New York City's delicious nightlife. And then some. There's usually some fabulous event or another that one of us is attending on any particular evening. And sometimes us PAPER folk like to just order in Vietnamese food and watch America's Next Top Model. PAPER people are just like you from time to time! In any case, we're bringing you this new feature, "About Last Night..." in which we'll recount the events of the previous night. What went down, with whom and where. For our first installment, Mr. Mickey, one of PAPER's most nighlife-friendly, recounts his action-packed Tuesday night. So without further ado, Mickey?

Last night felt like a tour of Manhattan. I started with Kim Hastreiter at the GORGEOUS new Tom Ford (top left) boutique. This store is outrageous. It's like the chicest old school European department store. I spent some time in the Parfumerie and was living for Japan Noir. The only thing more good-looking than the store was Tom himself. He's fucking hot. The party was filled with VIPs from all Tom's past incarnations.

Then it was off to the Bald Ego launch party at Home. Glenn O'Brien and his crowd is always very intellectual. Gary Indiana, who has contributed to every issue of Bald Ego did a reading.

Then finally to the Box. Nightclub legend Steven Lewis did some guest door work with the Box's sexy Sadako (whom I first met when she was a hostess at Indochine). The party was celebrating the fifth anniversary of Tricia Romano's Village Voice column "Fly Life." It was a very nightlifey crowd with people like Larry Tee, Thomas Onorato and DJ Tommie Sunshine (pictured with girlfriend Daniela). You might not recognize Daniela with her clothes on. She's the bikini-clad model on the cover of Tommie's CD and the posters that are wheatpasted all over town.
