"As usual, everyone who was anyone in the New York nightlife world came out in full force last night for PAPER's Fourth Annual Nightlife Awards presented by Diesel. The extravaganza, held this year at the super-luxe super-West-Chelsea nightclub Mansion, featured a stellar DJ set by November cover boy Mark Ronson (thanks for playing 'Two Doors Down,' Mark!), a stellar performance by December/January cover lady Solange and, of course, an awards ceremony. Bold-faced nightlife names like Christian Siriano, Olivia Palermo, Richie Rich, Amanda Lepore, Michael Musto, Andrew WK, and many others handed out the awards, which consisted of a nightlife-themed Dunny designed by our friends over at Kid Robot. One would never have thought that there was a recession going on as Absolut-fueled party-goers, dressed to the nines, partied it up all night long." (Papermag)
"'I feel the anxiety in the air,' said Philip Crangi, cocktailing with fashion's finest moments before last night's CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards. 'Having been in the same position last year, I know what these people are going through.' It's been a long, nerve-wracking process for the ten finalists--Richard Chai, Jason Wu, Alexander Wang, Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai of Vena Cava, Irene Neuwirth, Alejandro Ingelmo, Juan Carlos Obando, Albertus Quartus by Albertus Swanepoel, Obedient Sons & Daughters by Swaim and Christina Hutson, and Organic by John Patrick. Before the winners were announced by none other than John Galliano (squired by muse Charlize Theron), Anna Wintour et al toasted the lot of them with cocktails in an adjacent room at Skylight Studios , 'It's really fun to be involved and see all your peers succeed,' said a flashbulb-shocked Chris Benz. 'After this, I'm looking forward to the holidays. I'm going to Eva [Amurri's] house upstate for Thanksgiving!'" (Fashionweekdaily)

"The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund celebrated its fifth anniversary at Skylight Studios on Monday night at a moment when its five- and six-figure prizes mean more to fledgling designers than ever .. The fund's top prize, $200,000 and a year's worth of mentoring, went to Alexander Wang. 'Four years ago I was reading about this award in my dorm room in a magazine,' said the 24-year-old, smiling through his tears. As his date, Alice Dellal, dragged him outside for a cigarette, Wang said he thought he deserved a night off. And why not? Fun and youthful exuberance are as much a part of fashion as hard work, or as Wang put it: 'I'm going to call up all my friends, order a pizza, and go dance my ass off.'" (Style)

"The reviews of the opening of David Mamet's American Buffalo at the Belasco have been unenthusiastic. The critics almost unanimously describe poorly cast stars—John Leguizamo, Cedric the Entertainer, and Haley Joel Osment — going through the motions with wooden dialogue." (Observer)
