>> PaperCity's first book, Domestic Art: Curated Interiors (Assouline), co-edited by Holly Moore, Rob Brinkley and Laurann Claridge, hits stands October 5. Debuts with a party at Neiman Marcus Dallas and Houston and a bash at The Carlyle Hotel in NYC. Greg Fourticq Jr. and Becca Cason Thrash throw the after-party. >> We photograph fashion in artist Hunt Slonem's bird- and bunny-filled NYC studio. >> The New Old Rich: "I'm thinking of redecorating this whole @**&##! house," we state on the January cover (as does Glenn Close as Sunny von Bulow in Reversal of Fortune, our inspiration). >> We travel to Art Basel Miami Beach to shoot the Art Issue. Catherine Anspon runs into — and wrangles — Jenny Holzer and The Clayton Brothers into a photo shoot. >> Tony's new restaurant on Richmond opens, designed by Shafik Rifaat. >> "Philippe Starck's Sexy Delano Hotel Opens on Kirby Drive," shouts the headline. "Everyone was there!" says the PC April >> April Fool's! Mohamed Al- Fayed insists that Harrods open a five-story store in Houston, built completely underground and connected by tunnels beneath the Westheimer and Kirby intersection. Patrons enter by way of an English (above-ground) garden and through a British-style red telly booth turned elevator. Fact or fiction? "We literally had people calling saying they were at the corner of Westheimer and Kirby and couldn't find the red telephone booth!" recalls Laurann Claridge of the recurring series of April Fool's spoofs PaperCity plays on its dear readers. >> Hotel ZaZa opens. >> We have a discussion with Paloma Picasso. >> We photograph the homes and studios of Christian Eckhart, Sharon Engelstein and Aaron Parazette, and the late Bert Long Jr., the Rome Prize talent who carves an ice sculpture for PaperCity and shares his shotgun home and studio. 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 "WE WERE MORE THAN JUST A STAFF WHO BELABORED OVER EVERY WORD AND PARTY PICTURE, CHURNING OUT A JAM-PACKED BROADSHEET ISSUE EVERY FOUR WEEKS. WITH BALL GOWNS (AND A TUX FOR ROB) TO BE THROWN ON AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE HANGING ON THE BACKS OF OUR OFFICE DOORS, WE WERE AND ARE A FAMILY THAT HAS GONE THROUGH WORK AND LIFE TOGETHER, CRYING AND LAUGHING THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH. IF PAPERCITY TAUGHT US ANYTHING, IT'S THAT LIFE CAN BE A WELL-STAGED PARTY WITH YOUR FAVORITE PEOPLE IF YOU WANT IT TO BE, AND I AM EXCITED THAT THE NEXT PERFECT-BOUND CHAPTER IS ABOUT TO BEGIN." — Brooke Hortenstine, Co-editor/Contributing Editor, 13 years H O U ST O N N OVEM B ER 2 0 0 4 PARTIES: FRENCHY FALIK AT NIGHT CATHERINE ANSPON'S Q+A WITH JOSEF HELFENSTEIN T O M F O R D S H O T I N L O S A N G E L E S E X C L U S I V E L Y F O R PA P E R C I T Y M A G A Z I N E .

JADE JAGGER AT MIX: MODERN CLOTHES >> André Leon Talley comes to town for Society for the Performing Arts and Saks Fifth Avenue, wearing an Oscar de la Renta black cape with a train "longer than Princess Diana's wedding veil," says Frenchy Falik.

It's Camp PaperCity in the August issue. Camp motto: "Camp PaperCity … where everybody knows your name … and who you're wearing." Arts & Crafts include: spin art with Robert McClain, camp coiffure with Ceron, s'more-making with Robert Del Grande, karaoke with Harold Farb. Who are our campers and what's in their camp trunks? Jackson Hicks packs "a chef, a waiter and two porters, and a limousine driver's phone number for my great escape." Peter Marzio packs "a lightweight backpack. The above would allow me to run as far away from camp as possible." >> Many Trump sightings in 2004 issues of PaperCity: Donald Trump launches Trump Ice bottled water… a half-liter at Rice Epicurean is $1.19. Ivana Trump comes to Houston for Catwalk for a Cure.

Photog Matthew Rolston shoots Tom in L.A. for PaperCity's cover. Rob Brinkley insists he must be there. PaperCity co-hosts Tom at Neiman Marcus Downtown Dallas. Fool's party page. Yes, people called to see why they were not on the invitation list. >> Houston Grand Opera's 50th Anniversary Gala chaired by La Lynn Wyatt, with Elton John, Sir Roger Moore as emcee, Renée Fleming, Philip Glass, Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York and Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia. >> Ellsworth Kelly is at The Menil Collection. >> New decorating darling Kelly Wearstler is the cover.

The surprise in her will? The majority of her $450 million estate was left to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, as well as 54 important works, to make Law one of the largest donors ever to an American museum (as of 2005). >> The Pope comes to the U.S. and we have a "Pope–Arazzi — How to Get That Benedict Look." >> The first Liaisons Au Louvre takes place, the biennial trek to Paris where Becca Cason Thrash famously throws a ball in the Louvre preceded by three days of cocktails and parties. Who is there, aside from the many Houstonians? Prince Albert of Monaco, Duran Duran, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Kip Forbes, Hubert Hermes, Bianca Jagger, Diane Kruger, Baroness Ariane de Rothschild, US Ambassador to France Charles Rivkin and many, many designers. >> Our Pompeii Posh party with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, to coincide with the blockbuster exhibition.
