Was there any female in Sarasota who was NOT at opening night of Sex and the City last Friday? Even our “Gen- Exer,” Hannah Wallace, was there with her boyfriend (now that takes courage). Parties galore and cosmopolitans to boot (or shall I say to Jimmy Choos).

Sarasota's very own Mr. Big hosted a blowout Sex and the City party at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.

 The gathering of the Divas at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar was the perfect opportunity for some fun along with fab cocktails and appetizers and yes, yes…shoes, shoes, shoes (thanks to the Saks Fifth Ave. display. More important, though, the 20 percent discount each attendee was given on any pair the next day!) While I was too busy giggling and sipping my fruity martini to grab a steak and lobster slider (I was told they were as good as the Manolo Blahniks, which were by then killing my feet), I did enjoy watching Marjorie North, famed society writer and dear friend, shake up some incredible cocktails of her own behind the bar at Fleming’s. Watch out—rumor is Margie has applied for a summer job and word on the street is she makes a killer dirty martini.

Marjorie North takes a new position as head bartender.

Off-the-diet frenzy:

Prosciutto and figs are the perfect partners for a flatbread combo.
