32 Come summer, many socials scatter to far-and-away destinations such as Jackson Hole or Martha's Vineyard. Others brave our Texas heat. No matter the locale, all want to comingle al fresco before Labor Day comes knocking. We queried some of our favorite entertainers about their formula for a perfect post-Memorial Day affair. Here, we flip-flop between to-dos that exude Slim Aarons poolside glamour and fandango-style tequila tastings. BY BILLY FONG SUMMER BROOKE DAVENPORT Formidable party girl. PaperCity Bomb Girl, March 2017. Coveter of caftans. Type of party you're hosting. Slim Aarons-style poolside glamour. Where you are. Escape destination, probably Mustique. Dream guest list. Whoever looks glamorous, likes a stiff cocktail, and makes me laugh. E-vite or something more substantial. Definitely something more substantial. If you instigate a game, what will it be? Naked chicken fights. Signature cocktail. Cold rosé with a sprig of mint. What to serve to keep guests from feeling peckish. Just enough to keep people from getting hungry — but not enough to keep people from getting drunk. Perhaps pigs in a blanket or tiny croque- monsieurs. Playlist to conjure a conga line. "The Girl from Ipanema" with a hint of 21 Savage. Dress code. A long white flowy dress with a jeweled parrot on the front that I just bought from Stella Jean and can't wait to wear. Hostess tips. Must-have: Good music, great cocktails, beautiful flowers, an abundance of staff, and candles, candles, candles. MISSY ROGERS PECK Have-it-all wife. Mother of two. Owner of luxury events business MissyRSVP. Type of party you're hosting. Provence-themed dinner al fresco with lots of rosé. Where you are. Ann Hobson's beautiful chateau in Provence, Mas de Baraquet, in the garden among blooming lavender. Dream guest list. Brigitte Bardot and Fritz Gunter Sachs. (He would definitely be filming for his upcoming documentary on fabulous Dallas people.) E - v i t e o r s o m e t h i n g m o r e substantial. Handwritten notes on personalized Bell'Invito stationery. If you instigate a game, what will it be? Spirited game of writing a haiku about oneself — five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables. Signature cocktail. La Piscine. Essentially, a massive ice cube floating in a coupe of champagne. What to serve to keep guests from feeling peckish. John Dory with a lemon white-wine sauce, asparagus salad, and, obviously, French fries. Oh, and a raspberry vanilla mille-feuille with salted caramel sauce for dessert. Playlist to conjure a conga line. I'll just ask DJ Lucy Wrubel. Dress code. A Royl caftan from The Conservatory in New York with Hermès slides and a Pucci scarf in my hair.
