Best Buddies Asian Extravaganza
BY JANET DONOVAN
WHO’S YOUR BUDDY?
The fact that Allie LaForce
(Miss Teen USA), Chelsea
Cooley (Miss USA} and Natalie
Glebova (Miss Universe)
share an apartment in New
York City doesn’t necessarily
mean they’re “best
buddies,” but they did show
up together at the Potomac
home of Sargent and Eunice
Shriver to celebrate the 17th
Annual Best Buddies Ball on
October 15th looking like a
scene out of Sex and the City.
If it weren’t for the adjacent
private rooms where Kennedy
family memorabilia enthralled
many of the guests, you would
have thought you were in Chinatown.
And if it weren’t for
the lack of a costume it would
have been hard to distinguish
the fun loving Sarge from the
Chinese Lion and New Year’s
dragon dancers with whom he
frolicked in between photo
shoots.
ASIAN AFFAIR
The“Asian Aff air” theme made for
a colorful scene which made it
possible to pair a buddy with
an intellectual disability and
one without for one-to-one
friendships. Still stunning“Dallas” star Linda Gray didn’t
at all resemble her semipathetic
character on the long
running TV series which pitted
her against Hollywood big shot
Larry Hagman in the role of
her S.O.B. “husband” J.R. The
evening got even more raucous
when soft -rock Grammy
winner Cyndi Lauper kept the
neighbors awake, including
those on sleeping pills. Most
popular decision of the night:
Having a driver.
