Mark D. Sikes M aybe you can't picture design aristos Aerin Lauder and Mark D. Sikes in cheeky cowboy boots and bandanas doing caviar bumps, but we can. It happens every time. The PaperCity Designer Dinner rides again Monday, March 24, 6 to 9 pm, at The Halles, with A Fare Extraordinaire once again taking the reins for an American-fueled seated dinner. It's a Blue & White chinoiserie night, in deference to our guests of honor. Benjamin Moore takes the lead as presenting sponsor, and we see Santorini Blue, Palladian Blue, and Wythe Blue in our future. Music artist Damon Pampolina makes sure we dance until the cows come home. Tickets $225 (limited capacity; it sells out fast), at thehalles.com. Information, dani@ papercitymag.com.
