READING: Today NY Mag asks, "What does Tina Brown have to do to get some attention?" Well tonight she's signing copies of her new book (a tell-all on Princess Di) called The Diana Chronicles.

Even though it happened across the pond, Gothamist was a little obssessed with Prince Charles and Camilla's marriage yesterday because when we were wee, we remembered watching Prince Charles's first marriage. Mainly, Gothamist was watching for the fashion. We absolutely loved Philip Treacy's awesome hat and headdress - they beautiful and whimsical and the headdress especially was just a shade short of loony and somehow worked for this post-menopausal (we assume) princess.

Gothamist went to an opening at the Vitra store on Hudson between West 13th and 14th Streets. There was a lot of pretty furniture, but what we remember are the margaritas and being allowed to go upstairs and see the offices, which are supposedly off limits to regular visitors. Plus the opening in question, the exhibit of work and furniture from designers Constantin Boym and Lauren Lyon Boyms, like miniatures of seminal places in history (World Trade Center, the Unabomber's cabin, the tunnel where Princess Di died) and the Boyms strap chair.
