About Last Night... PAPER's Fourth Annual Nightlife Awards Presented by Diesel
By Caroline Torem Craig & Alexis Swerdloff
As usual, everyone who was anyone in the New York nightlife world came out in full force last night for PAPER's Fourth Annual Nightlife Awards presented by Diesel. The extravaganza, held this year at the super-luxe super-West-Chelsea nightclub Mansion, featured a stellar DJ set by November cover boy Mark Ronson (thanks for playing "Two Doors Down," Mark!), a stellar performance by December/January cover lady Solange and, of course, an awards ceremony. Bold-faced nightlife names like Christian Siriano, Olivia Palermo, Richie Rich, Amanda Lepore, Michael Musto, Andrew WK, and many others handed out the awards, which consisted of a nightlife-themed Dunny designed by our friends over at Kid Robot. One would never have thought that there was a recession going on as Absolut-fueled party-goers, dressed to the nines, partied it up all night long. After the awards, The Retro Kidz took to the stage for an impromptu old school dance-a-thon expertly DJed by Mark Ronson, which was a really fun way to end the evening we thought! After the jump, check out the lucky ones who took home awards.
