Riedel Dance Theater Oscar Party at Chelsea Clearview

Oscar Night is the only time we lament not owning a television, which is why we're grateful to have discovered the Oscar Party hosted by Hedda Lettuce at Chelsea Clearview. Last night's party benefited Riedel Dance Theater, and featured all-you-can-eat popcorn, a raffle, gift bags with antiaging cream and Izzy juice, and the cutting one-liners that Hedda does best: on Brad Pitt ("wet pussy"), on Philip Seymour Hoffman ("marsupial"), on an audience member's cleavage ("Thelma & Louise"), on the movie Moneyball ("Moneyballs"), on Christian Bale ("he'll cut you"), and on Meryl Streep ("never wear the same dress as the Oscar"). Maybe you had to be there; we're glad we were.
