PAWS PARTY PEOPLE, HEY LET’S GET FUNKY HEY!

Over at Philly Mag on Tuesday we covered mostly the chefs (& by we I mean me, Bob Dole.)  P.S. Even if your photo appears on PCC, it could still make it in the magazine.

I don’t like Pink Floyd – Dogs, but I do like “Wish You Were Here”
…
Pet lover and founder/president of PAWS Dana Spain was front
and center welcoming her guests and then guiding them through the
evening from cocktail party, to dining tables, and then upstairs to
complete the night at the dessert bar under the watchful eye of
presidents Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln and the George W. Bush—all
of their portraits hang at the Union League.
The Wineburgh’s and Evan & Lynsie Solomon.
On the social scale this
event is a 10, and no matter your political persuasion or your past
indiscretions, the crème de le crème show up for this event to support
PAWS’s animal-rescue initiatives,

which include adoption and foster care programs, spay-and-neuter surgeries, low-cost vaccinations, and, of course, to be seen in their party best.

 Thank you Dana Farrell for forgiving me each and every-time I can’t remember your name. She is most gracious and just offers it to me cause she knows my brain is like swiss cheese.  And because she’s so awesome I’m gonna give her a live link to her business. Dana is partner at Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar

The Joans: Joan Pileggi and Joan Spain. What an honor that Joan Pileggi reads my blog, and told me she loves my photos. I’m keeping Philly Classy. (ie do not read my coverage of the scantily clad peeps at North Beach.) and Joan Spain. Before there was Carrie Bradshaw, there was Claire Rose.

I’m always amazed by the generous donation various charities get for their silent auction.

This says Kemp florist all over it, and that’s exactly who did the Union Trust table.

Carol Tamburino is always in the best photos with some of the best lighting, which is a problem since I just had her in my Philly Mag column last week. I really like to rotate me peeps, but dang she is photogenic. With Brûlée Catering (formerly known as Max & Me) peeps Thomas McMullen and Larry Cohen (sorry, I do know it’s Larry.)

Professional Poker Player, shoe connaisseur who has nothing to hide, Beth Shak tells me that everything is A-OK and her shoes are intact, as she hangs out with Maria Papadakis.
