Forget Paris. Forget Rome. The Côte d’Azur? Santorini? Don’t make me yawn. For a real party, take me to Cincinnati.
The View at Mt. Adams is the place to see and be seen.
It’s on Celestial Street. Indeed!
We were celebrating the retirement of a top executive of an international firm.
The design of the restaurant itself is formal.
But for this party the sartorial message was upscale casual. Why not? Since upscale is your element anyway, come as you are: elegant and relaxed.
I enjoyed drawing these people. Can you tell, they enjoyed it, too?
The party went from 7 to 11. The hilarity around me made me reach for magenta a lot. The executives got plaid golf shorts, bellybuttons galore. Then as the evening wore on more flesh got exposed. In the drawings only!!!! Please, blame the markers.
More on this party and drawing techniques in the next post.
