I have to be honest, the uncle Cator was worn thin by tonight and I didn't get as many quotes as I wished. Phone died, shots arrived, you get the picture.
But I have to say these were pretty hysterical.
Quote 1:
At the Visionaire Party
"I get all dressed up for these parties and all they can do is give me a crappy plastic wrist band? Can they come up with something chicer?"
Quote 2:
" Gurl my friend hooked up with some dude in the janitors closet in the Lords Hotel only to fall out and get locked out of their closet. They both had to scurry to the concierge buck naked to ask for a key."
Quote 3:
After a journalist completely screwed up an interview
"My life is a string of awkward moments."
Quote 4:
"The problem we have in the art world is that there's just too much art out there," said one dealer to a couple while walking past the Great Vodka River created by Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich
Artists Andrew Andrew having a damn good night
