In Case You Were Wondering...

...we had a delicious time at the party we attended on Friday the 13th. It was a soiree which Dorothy Draper would have adored: gracious hosts; an elegant, modern setting; charming and amusing guests; plentiful, simple, delicious food; cold champagne; and a marvelous air of sophisticated informality. The biggest thrill, though, was that among the guests was none other than Miss Marilyn Maye herself.

To discuss, however casually and briefly, song craft, stage technique, and the work of Johnny Mercer with one of the truly great stylists wasn't just a thrill, but an honor. Even better was discovering that Marilyn Maye is not only just as glamorous and charming as she appears on stage, but also as down to earth and funny. It was a most delightful evening, a party with the kind of flair and panache that can only be found in New York. Thank you, Drew and Dan, for giving us an opportunity to dress up and mingle with honest-to-goodness glamour.
