Susanne Bartsch, event producer, Chelsea Hotel
"What I love about this party is that people can express themselves as art. There's no censor here. It's a great platform to do great things. Anything goes, here. It's like a dance and art gallery. The music and dancing are very important here."
"Dressing up creates energy and there's an art in expressing yourself. Transformation gives you a high. When I dress up, I see how I feel the day of. Tonight, I'm feeling this corset from the Blonds. For me, hair and makeup are as important as the outfit."

When: Mar 13, 2011
The scene: Sunday may not be your ideal party night, but for a taste of real-deal New York, Greenhouse's weekly Vandam bash is the place to go. With almost three years under its belt, the party is jam-packed with regulars and newbies in artistic, eccentric costumes. Wild dancing to pop remixes is best done on the LED-lit dance floor, but you can also groove to funk tunes in the faux-forest hideaway downstairs. Drink prices are steep—and there's bottle service for big spenders—yet partying with veteran nightlifers Susanne Bartsch and Kenny Kenny's beloved entourage (including Richie Rich and Amanda Lepore) makes wallet weight loss completely justifiable. Next party: Mar 27, Greenhouse, 150 Varick St at Vandam St (212-807-7000, greenhouseusa.com)
