It's a Jungle out there

Tomorrow's leaders today at Doubles 30th annual Ghosties and Goodies kiddy party.

A couple of weeks ago at the PM Lounge on Gansevoort and Greenwich Streets, Denise Rich and The G&P Foundation for Cancer Research held their Angel Ball Launch Party with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and dancing to the music of DJ Donna D’Cruz.

Gabriella Rich

The Angel Ball is the creation of the Grammy-nominated songwriter and philanthropist Denise Rich in loving memory of her daughter Gabriella, to raise funds for the G&P Foundation for Cancer Research. This year will be their fourth annual Angel Ball, to be held November 14th at the Marriott Marquis (1535 Broadway between 45th and 46th Streets).

This is a fantastic party. The ball has the imprimatur of Mrs. Rich who draws a large and glittery crowd of guests for the star-studded lineup of entertainment which this year will include Natalie Cole, Stevie Wonder, and Chaka Khan. Legendary singer/songwriter Patti LaBelle, Russell Simmons, Chairman and CEO of Rush Communications, Kimora Lee Simmons, Creative Director, Baby Phat and Glamour Magazine Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive will be recognized at the gala for their outstanding contributions as humanitarians and philanthropic leaders.

Joy Behar, Lorraine Bracco, Rita Cosby, Jamie-Lynn DiScala, Fran Drescher, Star Jones Reynolds, Felicia Taylor, and Montel Williams, have been announced as Segment Hosts.

A few nights ago over at Doubles, they held the 30th annual Ghosties and Goodies kiddy party. Wendy Carduner filled her chic club in the Sherry Netherland with jack o’ lanterns, witches on brooms, bats, skeletons, cobwebs complete with big scary spiders and black balloons everywhere. The event was for over 200 children under eight and their families, and it has been such an annual fun-fest in the paste that this year there was literally a waiting list of 125 yummy mummys.

Magic Al

Guests doing the Monster Mash, feasting on Chicken McDoubles and screaming with joy when Magic Al appeared included Governor Hugh Carey and his family: Helen Carey O'Neill with wee Helen the ladybug, Catherine Carey, twins Brian J. Carey II and Paul R. Carey II, and Jacqueline Chorney; William, Jack and Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer; Luke, Jamie and Lauren Thierry; Lily, Charlie and Eva Dillon; Nicholas, Jonathon and Katharina Otto Bernstein; Hugh and Barbara McLaughlin; Ava, Lila and Lauren DuPont, Alexander, Jimmy and Pamela Gross Finkelstein; Erin and Andrea Donahue; Dana Hammond and Charlotte Stubgen; Davis, Clint and Rebecca Silver; Catherine and Kiko Kairis with their family: Stephen, Alexandra, Isabella, and Tatiana Mandis; Naomi and Wendy Cebula; Tyler and Adelina Ettelson; Alexandra and Lara Glazier; Annabelle, Mary and Ian Snow; and Aubrienne, Susan Krysiewicz, and Tom Bell.

Let’s see who else was there and that’s not always that easy to say on Halloween, if you know what I mean. There was Sparkles the Clown creating adorable balloon art, India and Manzi and Cricket Burns; Emily and Schuyler Keno; Ashley Goodale and William Muse; Tsion and Linda Syoum; Elizabeth and Lucy and Elizabeth Reid; Paul and Sara Rodriguez; CeCi Owen with her aunt Jennifer Powers, and grandparents Jack and Eileen Powers; Taylor, Gunnar and Claudia Overstrom; Henry and Maxi Handreka; Ana and Julia, Morgan; Kristin, and Eliza King Freedman; Allison and Will Weisskopf; Mimi and Annabelle Fowlkes; Fabiola Arredondo and Isabella Rolfe; Stephen and Kristen Fealy; Caroline Cummins with her mom Liz Finkle Elliot; Maggie, Lily, and Ned Moulten; Iris, Gunilla, and Erika Persson; Lauren and Sonja Neis, and Sam Abel.
