Democrats party, amidst orchids
Some pictures from last night's book party for Senator Schumer's first offering; is it just me, or are Democratic grassroots events getting increasingly posh? Another observation: when Schumer announced himself a Hillary man, there was some scattered cheering at the front; the rest of the room remained in stony silence. Heh.

You're going to make me go all Michael Musto on your ass
WTF! The tie .. I'm so conflicted.
I love the colors but ... I don't know. That tie just clashes with the orchids. I'd like to see Dave in more Armani or Burberry.
Loves me some Trudy. So happy to have finally met. And did you notice June and I have he same glasses?
Schumer is getting larger than life ... cough, cough.
I love the "feeding frenzy" with the woman with the water bottle. I guess it's always good to hydrate after you nibble your favorite senator.
LOL
Then, there is Christine Quinn.
O.M.G.
I'm between amused respect and total girl crush.
And please, can someone carry a gong at Schumer events? No offense, but the man has his own concept of time.
