Thursday night a glittery mix of the New York downtown celebrity, fashion, and nightlife worlds poured into Jean’s on Lafayette St. to celebrate FilmRise’s 4K theatrical re-release of the 90’s cult classic film “Party Girl” at the after-party for the premiere screening at the IFC Center.

The crowd was made up of a bevy of  NY downtown notables, including those who have been fabulous since the film first came out 28 years ago.

Parker Posey was in the lively room as DJ duo The Muses, and DJ Icon Bill Coleman, with friends actor Alan Cumming (and his beautiful 90-year-old mother Mary), designer Christian Siriano, Party Girl’s Producer Harry Birckmayer, designer Jill Stuart, actress Gina Gershon,  actor Bill Sage ( Posey’s co-star on the latest Broadway hit run of Chekov’s The Seagull), the venerable Dianne Brill, Justin Vivian Bond, designer Zaldy and Party Girl co-star Guillermo Diaz.  Other guests included ABT star ballerino Gabriel Stone Shayer  (impressing everyone, including Posey, with his 180-degree high kicks), the always-vivid Canadian electroclash musician and producer Peaches and her equally vivid friend drag queen, performance artist, rapper Christeene, Andrew Bevan, and photographer Dustin Pittman.  Max Chodorow, son of famed restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow and part owner of Jean’s was mingling with guests at his new spot along with Scott Lipps, of the podcast Lipps Service and One Model’s fame, hanging with creative director and star of German Top Model Thomas Hayo.

Guests sipped on signature cocktails inspired by the movie with names such as “The Natasha” and “He-he-Hello Hendrick’s” provided by Hendricks Gin, Reyka Vodka, Hudson Whiskey NY, Fiol Prosecco, and Topo Chico, served by bartenders adorned with hats by Kangol, another great supporter of the evening.
