Inside 'The World of Gloria Vanderbilt'

The party at Ralph Lauren for the release of Wendy Goodman new book, "The World of Gloria Vanderbilt," looks like the storyboard for one of Patrick McMullan's wet dreams, with a combination of actresses, models, socialites and garden-variety legends (oh, plus Kathy Griffin). My pal Ben Widdicombe asked Andy's mom how she would define her personal style, to which she replied: "Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth." At 86(!), it's unlikely she has many left, but I like her surgically enhanced spunk. Photo highlights follow:

I'm trying to think of who GV looks like there. Sean Young? She definitely doesn't look like Gloria Vanderbilt anymore. If you want to see an older woman who looks age-appropriate and attractive, look no further than Anne Slater.

And you can't have too many pictures of Mark Consuelos.

Did anyone else notice that it looks like Kelly Ripa has a tiny arm and hand grazing Mark's ear?

It reminded me of that SNL sketch; I had to laugh.

Is Andy Cohen as vapid in person as he appears on tv?
