After a crazy month of renting five apartments (and another still pending) it was time to put on a clean dress and have some fun -- in style, at the New York Junior League.

When one first joins the League, you spend your first three months or so as a provisional, in a group with about 20 other women, learning about the League and how it works. My fantastic provisional leader, Suzanne, was honored this year by the entire New York Junior League as one of about eight outstanding volunteers. This is no small accomplishment. You have to chair committees, raise funds and basically be an ambassador for the League, which Suzanne does with flying colors.

She really is a class act in every way, and so her nearest and dearest threw her a huge party at the Astor House on 80th Street last night. Good vibes all around, not to mention plenty of champagne.

Pre-game shots. TR thought my dress looked like a Rorschach test. What does he know?

Belle of the Ball. Suzanne beamed all night.
