Last night I went to shoot ABT for Quest Magazine.
It was freezing as I stood outside taking photos of the guests as they arrived. How do they do it? Beautiful women in high heels and gowns walking across the plaza leaving their coats in the cars that drooped them off .
This year there were some short dresses as well.
It seemed that anyone who was anyone was dressed in Black or White.

It takes so many things to put together a gown.
First there are the visions and sketches, then there are the swatches, little samples of fabric, lace, beads, feathers, zippers and trims. Next are the the toile and muslins bringing the shape and form to life. Finally it is time to stitch it all together and slowly the final creation takes form.
Kim sources her custom beaded lace from Solstiss in Paris.
Last week at the Haute Couture showings she unveiled this dress. Worn by the beautiful Helen George from Karins Models it demonstrates the elegance and beauty of hand stiched beading that Solstiss created just for Kim.

Oltre Il Giardino, A secret in Cortona

Last night Barbara invited me to dinner at Oltre il Giardino, a well kept secret here in Cortona.
Actually it is not such a secret but it is hard to find. Located on the other side of the park as I was told and as the name describes, I ventured out not quite sure where I was going. The receptionist at my hotel did not know where it was so I took a leap of faith and followed my intuition. Luckily I asked a woman walking her dog if she new where I was going and she waved me on saying that no she did not know where it was either but I could try turning left after the park and should try walking up the road.
So I did as I was told and headed up a deserted unpaved road for 5 minutes when I saw a light ahead. I was there.
Turns out that Barbara's son Marcus designed the beautiful logo that you can see on the menu below.
It was like walking into a private house. First you pass through the garden then into the restaurant that feels like coming home. There are only 4 tables inside and a few outside.
We sat by the fire place and talked and sipped prosecco then headed to the table where we sat and talked and ate till well after 1am. I was so busy eating that I forgot to photograph the desert. It was the best chocolate cake I think I have ever eaten.

On Wednesday night I arrived in Perugia to join Wynton Marsalis and  Jazz At Linclon Center Orchestra who were to play for the Umbria Jazz Festival.
It had been raining heavily all day and I was not sure if the concert would be cancelled for the night's event in Arena Santa Giuliana.
I sat back stage with the band as they ate dinner then finally the crowd began to clap.
It was the cue for the night to begin.
The rain had stopped and the show went on.
It was so exciting to be outside surrounded by the enthusiastic crowd.

Monday night was the Met Opera opening night Gala for the 2013-2014 Season. The Met began the season with a new production of Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene Onegin,” a landmark Russian opera based on the novel in verse by Pushkin.
Marius Kwiecien played the part of Onegin while Anna Neterbko performed the roll of Tatiana. It is her 3rd season in a row to play the lead on opening night and as always I was thrilled to see her. After the concert I made my way into the tent decorated by David Stark. I was  happy to see Anna's sister Natasha. It was the second time in a week to see them as I also photographed them last week and NY City Ballet.
After dinner lots of friends came over to Anna's table and everyone wanted to get into the photos.

Last night was Carnegie Halls opening night Gala for the 2013-2014 Season but sadly the show did not go on. Due to a union shut down of the hall the concert had to be cancelled while ongoing negotiation continue about the newly acquired space at the hall and how it will be managed.
The staff were not sure what was going to happen and they banded together and made many calls and realised that the support from the patrons was with them and so the dinner went ahead at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel as planned.
David Stark designed a supper club feel to the room and after dinner everyone took to the dance floor. Jessie Norman made a very amazing speech that was delivered with her voice that filled the room and our hearts.
Joshua Bell also talked about his experience traveling with the youth orchestra and it made me want to go and hear them play.
Sandy Weil announced that for the first time in his leadership of Carnegie Hall, which is now over 20 years, he was not needing to ask for money as the capital campaign had reached its goal.

Last night was the CCBF Gala at the Plaza Hotel.

This year's Breakthrough Spirit Awards went to Margo and John Catsimatidis and Amar'e Stoudemire, and the Medical Breakthrough Award went to Dr. Patricia Giardina.

After the awards Joe Piscopo held a lively auction and was then followed by a performance by The Midtown Men who founded their group after leaving the Broadway hit Jersey Boys.

They rocked the house with their 60's music and everyone jumped up and danced infront of the stage.
