Get Ready
For
New Social Season
By Catherine Saxton
 T’S
that season again, mad parties, 2, 3, 4, 10 invitations in
one evening. What
to choose, where to go?
The other Thursday evening, everyone, but everyone,
congregated in Veronica Hearst's glamorous Fifth
Avenue apartment to plan the Gala evening for HRH Prince
Andrew. Randolph
Hearst had just left for the summer climes of Palm Beach
but an impressive group of friends gathered in the Hearst
apartment to talk about the American Associates of the Royal
Academy Gala on October 30 in the Rainbow Room.
Anne Hearst, Frances Hayward and Mrs. Frances
G. Scaife rallyed their troops for this sell-out
evening. British
Consul General Thomas Harris was on hand, and a crowd
way too chic to even have their names mentioned in print
were there.
The
apartment looks like a mini-Hearst Castle, full of glorious
religious antiquities.
Unfortunately, it was one of those evenings when
President Clinton was in town and traffic on Fifth Avenue
was a mess! The
HRH Gala will be a BIG evening in town, and I'll bring you
all the details soon.
Ivana Trump invited some of her very best friends
to join her for cocktails at Daniel's to talk about the
Gourmet Gala: An
Evening In Provence and Salute to Daniel Boulud.
The evening unites six great French chefs from Provence,
with six French-American chefs for a fabulous evening of
Provencial food and wine.
Joining Ivana were Ghislaine Maxwell (rumoured
friend of Prince Andrew), generous underwriters Sheila
and Danny Rosenblum, Gaetana Enders, real
estate hotshot Patricia Burnham, and famed French
designer Lloyd Klein.
The evening is November 2 at the University Club, so
if you want tickets, call 212 353-8355 and tell them
Catherine sent you. I promise you an evening of glamour,
excitement and unbelievable food (what more could you ask
for?).
Some of the biggest galas in the world are coming up
soon. There was Alzheimer's Gala honoring the great Rita
Haywood on October 11. Then you have the Food Allergy
Gala on November 29 at the Plaza Hotel, and the unbelievable
G&P Foundation Gala on November 30.
That's when President Bill Clinton, Queen Noor
of Jordan, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Sir Paul
McCartney will be honored. They have a line up of stars,
beginning with N'SYNC and ending with Natalie
Cole, to regale and entertain you.
