Cat Chat

How splenid to enter New York's Mayfair Regent and be greeted by that elegant establishment's very elegant Venetian manager Dario Mariotti. Glorious bowls of coral roses adorned our pink suite and champagne was an added delight. To the phone - wonderful, three lines! Time to call Jen, just back from the Govenor General's party in Ottawa with her dad, Calgary entrepreneur Peter Bawden. A junior jet-set darling, Jennifer designs smashing dresses for Bergdorf's exclusive fourth-floor salon. Last year she was on the cover of Manhattan magazine with President George Bush, her extraordinary long hair trailing off the page. The American media refer to her as an aspiring Brooke Astor often seen with Alex Donner, an aspiring Peter Duchin. Jen swept us away to Ciaobella, a trendy restaurant packed with fun Eurotrash. Someone sent Bellinis over. (At night? We thought champagne and peach nectar was for mornings.) A Parisian to die for began to spin a depressing tale you could die from so we decided to drown in our own champagne . . .
