letter publisher 26 MISAEL RODRIGUEZ S pring has sprung — and we're ready to hit the pavement, popping into the must-attends in town. Our busy social calendars kick off with the PaperCity-sponsored Art in Bloom luncheon Monday, March 2. Dubbed "A Royal Affair," the benefit for the Dallas Museum of Art League welcomes speaker Shane Connolly, florist for two royal weddings. On Friday, March 27, you can find us at Community Partners of Dallas' Chick Lit Luncheon, where Academy Award-winning actor and author Diane Keaton speaks at one of the most anticipated events this spring. That evening, we'll pop by the ultimate school- inspired soirée, Recess! The signature event for Dallas Afterschool raises funds to improve the quality and availability of afterschool and summer programs for kids. And finally, we will celebrate Vivienne Westwood, Saturday, March 28, at the Dallas Contemporary's spring gala and preview of the exhibition "Get a Life," which marks the esteemed British designer's first museum show in North America. The show is presented in conjunction with Paolo Roversi's "Birds," which focuses on the Italian fashion photographer's 40-year career working with Comme des Garçons. Turn to page 44 for a closer look at this double blockbuster. We're looking forward to seeing what gala chairs Zoe Bonnette, Bill Hutchinson, Jordan Jones, and Karla McKinley have up their sleeves for the evening. I couldn't sign off without mentioning an exciting new event that PaperCity hosts on Wednesday, April 1, with Woodford Reserve. The cocktail-inspired fête will feature our city's top mixologists as they shake up their spin on the classic Manhattan. Expect gourmet dishes from the city's top restaurants and plenty of PaperCity surprises. Visit whiskey.papercitymag.com to purchase your tickets. We hope to see you there — cocktail in hand! Onward to March! Brooke Dowdy Dallas Publisher brooke@papercitymag.com
