EVENT: The NY Horror Film Festival kicks off with a party at Don Hill's tonight. Terrifying short films and some creepy classics are promised throughout the fest, as bands M-16, Kaos From Order and more set the sonic tone tonight. Free Wychwood Brewery beer from 8 to 9pm. More details here. 7pm // Don Hill's [511 Greenwich St] // $10 FILM: Karl Lagerfeld's personal style sort of freaks us out (see photo), so this may......

We finally got around to reading the profile of fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld in the New Yorker. Certainly, he's got his quirks. But we liked learning about what Lagerfeld, who reads in English, French, German, and Italian, thought about one famous American writer:“For me, the perfect writing is E. B. White—that’s how one should write English. The sound, the language, what it evokes for me. I see New York with the eyes of his book......

To get to the 20th floor of 230 Fifth Avenue you need to walk past security, through turnstiles ready for keycards, past all the stores on the ground floor to a nearly private elevator and the cheetah in the foyer will let you know you’ve made it.

Look closely and you might see Marc......

Yes, Anne, Gothamist will call you crazy: It looks like Anne Heche (left) had the evening's wacky quotient filled at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala, Dangerous Liaisons (read: lots of corsets and bustles). We also liked how the Times's headlined it a "Night of the Living Art" (you can't fool us!) and Guy Trebay pointed out:Andre Leon Talley, the editor at large at Vaogue, swept up the stairs...in a volumnious 18th century......
