It Girls in Training: Meet the Debs from This Year’s Crillon Ball

In fact, it was the 20th Bal de Debutantes, an opportunity for a few of the world’s most privileged and beautiful young ladies to dress up in gowns made by the French couture houses and shoes by Christian Louboutin (who was in attendance), have their hair and makeup done, and maybe share a dance with their famous fathers–which this year included Sly Stallone and Graydon Carter.

Playing Quarters at Condé

A quarter. 25%. That’s the big budget cut number supposedly hanging over the heads of editors and publishers at 4 Times Square, according to an article today in The New York Observer.
