Barbara Tober (chairman emeritus) and Michele
Cohen (chairman) at the Museum of Arts and Design hosted a
glamorous evening in honor of Joan Juliet Buck celebrating
her new memoir The Price of Illusion. This was the very
first of many parties to come for this author. Barbara, the
former longtime editor of Brides magazine, and Joan, former
editor of French Vogue, together made a toast to their
shared history as alumnae of Conde Nast, which they
described as both a 'finishing school' and 'hell'. Every
copy of the book on hand sold that night, while MAD took
orders for more.
Guests included Maria Cristina Anzola and
John Heimann, Bob Balaban, Edgar Batista, Candace Bergen,
Samantha Boardman, Patricia Bosworth, Sandy Brant, Ben
Brantley, Marie Brenner, Tina Brown and Sir Harold Evans,
