Marc Jacobs' annual costume party proved to be both entertaining and informative this year! The Arab-themed bash taught us that not even models/fashionistas can pull off nipple tassels and confirmed rampant speculation that the host (above, dressed as "Camel Toe") is, in a fact, a vagina.

We didn't much care for the New York Times' overly long, overly nuanced look at the hardworking life of people who own trashy local nightclubs and pretend to shirk exclusivity while "secretly" pandering to a celebrity/unrealistically attractive clientèle.

We did, however, commend the efforts of their innovative staff photographer. That long, panoramic shot of the pompous clubowners taken with a wide-angled lens and bird's eye viewfinder? Genius. If you squint your eyes and look at it from just the right angle, Butter impresario Richie Akiva (second from right) almost looks normal-sized! Almost.
