believe it or not, at the parties you want to go to, they don't usually check your age. this is actually a good rule: if they're checking I.D. at the door it's not a good party! PM on wednesdays can be good... very tough door by Aramis. (location: 50 gansevoort st.) AER fridays (tonight) in the V.I.P. has a lot of fashion industry people - models, bookers, photographers. i'm a regular at this party. the only thing i can think of to help you with this one is to ask for a guy named christophe at the door. he's french and if you kiss his ass in french he might help you! he's a nice guy, but he's still tough at the door. (location: right around the corner from PM on 13th st.) i believe butter on mondays might also be good, but i've never been to this party. it's on lafayette street. i'm sure the door is also tough. home guesthouse and BED are right next door to each other on 27th street between 10th and 11th. BED thursdays and wednesdays i think is pretty good. home is probably going to have what you are looking for too, but i'm not sure of the best nights. i don't think any of these parties are asking for I.D. - or maybe they never ask for my I.D., i don't know. i rarely ever see that happen. thanks for your tips about paris, and let me know how this turns out for you.
