Wow, what a night - little black dresses and red hot jazz are a sizzling combination! Last night, The Black Dress Traveler was thrilled to host an elegant divas night out at Jazz at Lincoln Center. A dynamic and diverse group of ladies, many decked out in stylish little black dresses, joined me for pre-concert cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the private Patrons Lounge. We mixed and mingled while enjoying delicious red velvet cupcakes courtesy of Desserts by Sasha and mini-makeovers by Brown Candy Designs. I worked with my friends at Bath Junkie (voted Best Beauty Store by NY Magazine) to custom blend a special Jazz Diva scent for the occasion and each guest was able to spritz themselves with this sexy fragrance and received a gift of bubbling bath crystals.
After the reception, we sashayed over to our seats in the first three rows of the orchestra section to enjoy a lively musical tribute celebrating the centennial of the First Lady of Jazz, pianist and composer Mary Lou Williams. Tennis legend Billie Jean King hosted this phenomenal performance by Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Maybe it was my imagination, but I think that the sight of gorgeous women filling the front rows and our intoxicating Jazz Diva scent inspired the JALC orchestra to swing just a bit harder!
