Patrick McDonald's 50th birthday

Tuesday night Patrick McWagon celebrated his big 5-0. In honor of such a momentous occasion he invited 30 of his nearest and dearest to dinner at Buddakan, at the same table that Lauren Davis used for her 30th, which had a splashy mention in Vogue.

The group however was a bit different than Lauren's. Guests included Amanda Lepore, Kenny Kenny, Jason Wu, the Mao boys, the Duckie Brown boys, the Keanan Duffty's, Charles Nolan, Nancy Basich, Robert Richards, Rod Keenan and Austin Scarlett.

What a treat! 30 great people who you always see out and about, air kiss, scream into their ear and move on.
We all got to talk and chat and drink and drink. When we were being seated Kenny asked if the restrooms were upstairs. I showed him the way to the ones on our floor and he was so disappointed, "But I wanted to walk down those fabulous stairs and make an entrance every time I went to the loo!!"

Amanda made a dazzling entrance down the staircase in a silver dress with bustle bow and fingerless gloves.

The Duckie Browns were fabulous to sit next to. Patty was kind enough to place me at the head of one side of the table so I had a fab group around me, Rod on my right and the Duckies on my left. The Widow Cliquot never stopped pouring and the food was great and bountiful but tuna tar tar never fills you up after boozing. Amanda admired my moustache and asked what wax I use. I told her I use Conk and she squealed and said she uses it on her spit curls.

Patrick was in fine form in Gaultier couture and a top had by Mr. Keenan. He was sure to make the rounds and talk to everyone. His birthday cake was amazing, designed to look like a hat, naturally. I guess it’s hard to make a cake that resembles and eyebrow.

After dinner we all piled into cabs and headed to Happy Valley where we had a table in the basement and we danced the night away. La Lepore was in rare form, so relaxed chilling on the lounge and hoping up to dance with me when she felt the notion. Lots of photogs were there and our new favorite, Rick Louis, sent me some I included here. Thanks Rick!
