At socialite Allison Sarofim's annual Halloween party last Saturday, Oct. 25, the theme was Japanese anime. Female dancers in purple wigs and revealing electro-violet garments swayed to the music on pedestals. A young woman wearing skimpy lingerie and a giant head of a Japanese comic-book character with fake hair reaching down to her rear was placed atop the mantelpiece and instructed to stay put. Another woman in a metallic unitard and extraterrestrial headgear walked around with a mini-buffet of Japanese candy. And the male waiters, passing out just-made sushi and cocktails, were topless.

Ms. Sarofim, who relocated to New York seven years ago from Houston, is the daughter of Egyptian-born financier Fayez Sarofim, known on Wall Street as “the Sphinx.  read more »

Halloween Costumes of the Rich and Semi-Famous http://www.observer.com/2007/allison-sarofims-halloween-party

For your Halloween pleasure, we offer socialites in ridiculous outfits, via Park Avenue Peerage. Allison Sarofim’s famed annual Halloween party last weekend brought droves of familiar names to her West Village townhouse. The hostess, who strutted her stuff around her velvet-draped first-floor in a peacock costume, was joined by guests like Fabiola Beracasa (dressed as autumn), Alexis Bryan (a bumblebee) and Jennifer Creel (an angel). Apparently not one to pinch pennies when it comes to entertaining, Ms. Sarofim had actress Ayesha Adamo welcome guests dressed as an elaborate, crystal-laden chandelier.

Pictures of a few of the costumed partygoers can be viewed by clicking on the link below.

It’s not like people care about decorating or they care about fashion,” editor-in-chief Deborah Needleman said, explaining the theme. “People care about the whole thing if they care about it,” she said, lowering her voice to add: “And it seemed like it would be a good idea for the advertisers.”  read more »
