Well, the calls to Bungalow 8 are being unanswered because the line has been disconnected, so I don't think the "source" is that stupid. I think this story is more about Amy Sacco than Bungalow 8; she's just trying to milk every limelight that is fading away from her. By the time Bungalow 8 is re-launched, the celebs that will be seen there would be TomKat's and Brangelina's kids. #bungalow8
"Amy Sacco was one of, if not, truly the first woman to knock the boys off their feet."
I hope Suzanne Bartsch, Nell and Elaine Kaufman don't read this website. #bungalow8
@Parah_Salin: Not to mention Texas Guinan! She made a million in the 1920's, famously greeting her speakeasy nite-club patrons, "Hello Suckers" as she dripped with diamonds.
And no, Bungalow won't recover. Just an immutable law of NYC nightlife. If Carrie Bradshaw was hyping it, it is so over, we need a new word for over. #bungalow8
@Baroness: I found this whole article bizarre, because I left NYC 15 years ago, and I can't believe this is what passes for a hot spot. Back in the 1980's, when I was a Young, these people would never have been allowed past anyone's velvet rope. Kenny Kenny manned the doors with an iron fist and a velvet clipboard. I guess now it's all about being a junior trader at Goldman Sachs, and not about how well you wear your sequinned bustier with matching sequinned baseball cap. Geez, I really am an Old. I think I'll go have some milk. #bungalow8
@mattchew03: Which goes perfectly with a crowd who obviously thinks they're way too cool to dress up according to theme. What fun are palm trees without people walking around with fake flower necklaces asking you want to get lei'd? Party-planning fail all around. #bungalow8
@the supergoddess: Good. Because I keep hearing how terrific and stylish New Yorkers are. But this looks just like the young professionals mixers on Wednesdays after work in Indianapolis, so I was hoping it wasn't a good representation. #bungalow8
@Better to Eat You With: the thing is, NYC has become full of transplants from Indianapolis and other Mid-Western state, so you're not far off from your observation and this representation. #bungalow8
I feel sorry for the man standing alone in the grey scarf, upper center of the picture. None of these alluring, glamorous, ultrasexy Bungalow denizens will talk with him. Look at all those supermodels, frolicking like gazelles- he doesn't even exist. Bret Easton Ellis is about to call it a night and head home for a good cry. #bungalow8
@Baroness: I don't recall what it was, save I was there as a guest. It was one of only two times I was there, and yes, the second time involved the Shah of Iran's demon seed dancing on tables, so I would assume the above event is/was not indicative of the general run of things chez Sacco.
I am almost certain it's me. Crap eighties haircut, check: gay grey scarf, check; clutching on to my drink for dear life, check; being ignored by the finance-peeps, check.
But thanks for thinking I look like Bret Eaton Ellis (at that distance, anyway), because I always thought he was teh cuteness. #bungalow8
@if_i_only_had_a_heart: That's what I was thinking when this was posted yesterday. I don't see anyone especially well dressed or stunning. Did anyone even wash their hair?
I'm glad I'm not the only shallow asshole that noticed. #bungalow8
@green-grey: heh. the more i look at the crowd, the funnier it gets. the mix of women's outfits is hilarious: a bare shoulders halter dress, scarves, ethnic hippie stuff, just all random and none of it interesting #bungalow8
@if_i_only_had_a_heart: And all the men are wearing the same thing! As they say on project runway, it's all very safe.
Some Manhattanites may mock Jersey, but I've seen much better in North Jersey bars.
Oh, and nice try, but it's going to take a lot more than that to convince me that Kate Moss is remotely unattractive. When the DM needs to use someone else's weathered face to prove that you've got lines and wrinkles, you know you're probably doing just fine.
To Diaz's credit, she once made fun of her profuse sweating on stage at what I think were probably the MTV movie awards. Of course, at the time, I thought it was gross, because she was using her skirt to mop up under her arms, but now I'm feeling empathetic in a "Stars! They're just like us!" kind of way. I feel your pain, C. I really do.
Amy Sacco is now kinda like a moped, it was a fun ride, but you don't want any of your friends to see you on it. We all want to forget what went on in the bathrooms, Amy. We all look 10 yrs older as a result.
@misslinda: She's had one too many trips to the surgeon's office. The botox is there, anyway. Shoot some into your armpits if you've got excessive sweating issues. People seem to forget that botox also has practical uses.
@mfnher: Good call. My friend had some sort of procedure--not sure if it was Botox--to stop excess sweating in her palms. Changed her life. Not sure why Miss Diaz doesn't invest in some, considering she's obviously no stranger to the needle.

Depending on when the picture was taken, I am, um, pretty sure that's me.
