Sticky Sweet Dylan Lauren Reopens Her Candy Bar

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 14:01:33 -0400

At Monday evening's party for the relaunch of Dylan Lauren's (daughter of Ralph) popular store, Dylan's Candy Bar, it was not surprising that sugar featured prominently in the celebration. Tables were piled with mini-brownies and cupcakes; there was a marshmallow dipping station and bikini-and-body-paint-clad candy necklace distributors. The candy-garnished cocktails were hit or miss, however. (Cosmopolitan-like drink with rock candy stirrer? Good. Barcardi with orange liqueur and a sunken piece of bubblegum? Less so).

New York Ladies Have Some Advice for Hillary

Fri, 09 May 2008 15:23:03 -0400

Last night we ventured out to the opening of the triple-floored Pronovias boutique in midtown that also served as a New Yorkers for Children benefit. There were many daughters of celebrities, and some socialites and models. But given all the women in the room browsing the clothing racks, we thought we'd ask what they thought about the most important woman of the day.

So ladies, given Tuesday's...

In New York, the culture wars aren’t over abortion and gay marriage—we are far too sophisticated to disagree about those sorts of issues!—but over 46-story condo-hotels in SoHo.

Specifically, the one that was officially unveiled to reporters Wednesday at a heavily guarded and extremely lavish press conference (picture red carpets; chandeliers large enough for any room at Versailles; gold-plated utensils; and a peculiarly lissome black-clad catering staff at a construction site), while a...

The Afternoon Wrap: Thursday

Thu, 26 Apr 2007 18:22:49 -0400

[Apple Insider, via Gawker]

Trump vs. Trump in Battle of the Exes

Sun, 24 Jan 1999 19:00:00 -0500

Donald Trump and his ex-wife Ivana Trump are brawling again. In an intellectual property scrap perfectly suited to this new gilded age, they're tussling over who owns the name "The Donald." Ms. Trump believes she has the right to use it because she coined the nickname and has filed an application to trademark it. She said she plans to exploit its commercial possibilities on behalf of her son, Donald Trump Jr., a 21-year-old senior...
