So, who would end the night with bragging rights? Bentley or Lamborghini, England or Italy, moguls or models? It was a win-win situation for 600 guests partying at the re-opening of the Bentley/Lamborghini Gold Coast showroom on Rush. The Women’s Board of the Joffrey Ballet co-hosted the event, “Couture & Cocktails,” with proceeds benefiting the renowned dance company.
Interior designer Nate Berkus, who led the live auction, proved that creative types never run out of ideas: “Prizes for you and your wife; you and your girlfriend; and your girlfriend your girlfriend doesn’t know about.”
Preparing the menu for the English/Italian-themed party required a bit of diplomacy. Shepherd’s pie versus lasagna?
