i hear disco music!

so tuesday night there was a party at studio 54.

yes, that studio.

sirius xm reopened the club, "for one night only", to celebrate the launch of its latest station, inspired by the legendary club.

a fabulous mix of "beautiful nobodies and gorgeous celebrities", a la the door policy of years ago, packed into the space at 254 W Fifty Fourth Street for a night of epic proportions.

a few of the a-list in attendance:

(via justjared)

cam, naomi & bar. my girls.

the donald and melania

the lovely liya kebede

bar rafaeli. seriously?

this is how amazing she looks in a plain white t-shirt.

i kind of want to hate her. but i just can't!

oh, cameron. when are you going to realize we were meant to be

besties?!

patti hansen. killing it in leather.

someone i would never have expected to see at this party?

martha herself.

little do you know she used to go by the nickname

dirty party marty...

sweet emma roberts... was just a gleam in her parents' eyes when the original club was in its heyday.

bethenny.

she looks...? (fill in the blank, it'll be fun.)

alexandra richards.

at the club with her parents.

supercool or ubercreepy?

i, for one, would jump at the chance to see my mom do the cabbage patch to a donna summer soundtrack... but... her parents don't look like they do the cabbage patch.

exhibit a.

keith richards and the aforementioned patti hansen.

supercool, am i right?!

obviously.

lady bunny and pat field.

can you imagine?! oh, how glorious.

i'll bet pat could tell us a story or nine...

if she could remember them.

obviously if you're going to party here, you've got to dress the part.

it got me thinking... if it were the swinging seventies, and i were one of the lucky attendees at studio, just what would i wear?
i think this would do.

a girl can dream, right?

you're welcome.

thought you might be in need of a mid-day pick me up.

(no iced latte has ever made my heart race quite like this.)

you've seen him before in all his tight-pants-wearing glory, you've heard the song,

(its on regular rotation in my spin class, and i'm down)...

but i'm willing to bet you've never seen him like this.

with her.

good lawd!

in addition to, ahem, moves like jagger, they've got some killer genes they're workin' with.

yum.

and yeah. anne v's his girlfriend, y'all.

count me as first in line for a mrs. robinson situation should they ever have babies and one turns out to be a boy.

carry on.

rock n roll gatsby

perhaps you've heard...

there was another "royal" wedding of sorts recently.

(via kimkardashian.com)

no, not that one.

this one:

(all photos below via vogue)

i die for this.

saw jenny's recent mention of this wedding, which reminded me that i absolutely must share it with you!

last week when i was on vogue.com, i read hamish's gorgeous article on kate moss' wedding to guitarist of the kills, jamie hince. and then i found the below video.

Sharing from Vogue.com

i cannot look away from the screen; i have been watching it

on a loop for days now.

seriously. can you send a sandwich or something, please?

look.

how perfect is this entire affair?

(and what's with the teepees?)

the lightness of it all!

the classic, thoughtful touches...

dear friend of the bride, mario testino, photographed her wedding portfolio...

gorgeous, hand-crafted wedding gown(S!)...

the crew of flowerchildren... 16 total.

how perfect are they in their bonpoint dresses?!

i'll tell you: perfect!!!

says kate, to vogue's hamish bowles: “I wanted it to be kind of dreamy and 1920s, when everything is soft-focus,” says Kate. “The Great Gatsby. The code name was GG for a while. That light and that kind of fun decadence. It’s rock-’n’-roll Great Gatsby!” There will be Edwardian marquees in her field and a circus tent for the children, with a miniature drum kit and their own DJ and tepees for them to sleep in. A stage is being built by hand, “which I’m going to keep for festivals for the future,”

she explains.

(teepees!)

the flowers are perfection, the setting is beyond idyllic, the dress is absolutely to DIE for.

this is the stuff dreams are made of.

john galliano called the creation of this gown his "creative rehab"; after being in actual rehab since march of this year for his crazy awful anti-semitic rants, it brought him back to life.

(sidenote: why, so often, are creative geniuses absolutely mad?!)

kate had a total of three gowns for the event: the galliano, a sparkling stella mccartney georgette evening gown with steel beads, and a vintage 1930's wedding gown she previously wore for her bachelorette party. naturally.

during the speeches at the reception, when kate's father, peter, thanked galliano for "the beautiful dress", the crowd erupted into a standing ovation, and the designer got tears in his eyes.

magical!

the bar hemingway of the ritz paris set up a bar on the dancefloor and served the kate 76, an absolutely

delicious-sounding cocktail of

champers, vodka, crushed ice, and sugar.

must must must make this for our next dinner party.

check out but a few of the incredibly stylish attendees:

the uberchic mr. bowles, in his bespoke stubbs & wootton's!

marc, darling, won't you please quit it with the smoking?

ewww. and i thought you were all healthy and stuff?!

i'll take all three, thanks.

oh, and there was food. incredibly good food.

take the cake!

i could swan-dive off of the roof into this thing.

then eat my way out.

mmmmm...cake crater.

i love how the cake table appears to have a glow underneath it. so lovely!

really, kate. i am super fun at weddings!

for more on this gorgeous affair, see this month's issue.

it has, in addition to giving me a new cocktail to "test" for "research purposes", inspired me to make today, at least, that much more special and memorable.

or at least take a shower.
