RE: BARNEYS

A PR-producing FBvian offers more:

While I totally agree with Jennifer’s assessment of the clothes, store, and display, the event got the following ratings:

Tent: A (We’ve all seen the tent before but the interior arrangement of couches, coffee tables, red lighting, etc. was the best the tent’s insides have ever looked.)

Guests: A- (Definitely the crowd that should have been at the W opening instead of the Plano wannabe’s and working girl types. Great hair. Watchable clothes. Numerous well-known faces in the crowd as Jennifer mentioned, but many more MIA. They must have stayed home to watch CSI.)

Food: B- (In the store, there were just a handful of folks passing trays of food. But, hey, this crowd is thin for a reason. They don’t require much food. But the promise of mounds of food has been on the invitation. So we headed into the tent to find the treasured promise. The promise was there, if you waited long enough in the wait-forever crowds. Cookies and brownies were passed. At least that’s what someone rumored.)

Service: C (In the tent, dirty glasses and plates were everywhere. The servers looked shell shocked. It almost seemed as if they had never worked a party before. In a couple of cases, servers were seen high-fiving it with some guests.)

Entertainment: A (LaBelle belted it out. Betcha the folks residing across the way at Hillcrest Cemetery were even rocking.)

Favors/Memorabilia: N for non-existent. (The Jack Boles folks did thank us for coming. Guess our memories of the night will just have to do.)
