has. He looks as though he walked off a movie set of a bygone era. The party benefited the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign. Showcased were fine works of art that looked magnificent against the pristine walls of the Doria’s masterfully designed home. Every time I pass through their home, I’m amazed by its simplicity and its grandeur. I’m delighted that they open their home for charities. Have you ever wondered why so many of the beautiful women in the social scene are so fit. Many outsiders would venture to say that none of these ladies in question eats. I would beg to differ after what I witnessed the other morning. Harriet Carroll, a professional choreographer and dance performer, is keeping these ladies in shape. Anyone who likes to dance knows that the dance diva has been teaching classes in Scottsdale for decades. But what they didn’t know is that once a year Harriet throws a huge dance-athon at The Village at D.C. Ranch. This year, she partnered with Fresh Start Women’s Foundation, courtesy of Pat Petznick, and Dunkin’ Donuts, courtesy of Karen and Richard and Susan Doria Burt Hayenga. From the first class
to the last, everyone who matters attended and danced for the sake of charity. So next time you see a svelte socialite, remember that it’s diet and Harriet that have made a difference. What a great and generous lady. In cocktail polo news you should know: That a residential realtor and a hotel owner have been spotted around town a lot and in very swank places. That a socialite that we all took for yesterday’s news seems to be making a huge comeback? That the Arizona Kidney Foundation has managed to snag Larry King as emcee for their big bash next fall. That an outspoken blonde socialite decided to remove her hairpiece while standing in a valet line. That the stork is bringing a delivery to a much-talked-about Paradise Valley couple. That girls who wear glasses seldom get passes. That a former publisher may want to book herself into the Reality Check Motel. That a socialite you all know and fear is just about to be arrested by the karma police, and it’s about time. Now you’re all caught up for a little while.
Gotcha:
A woman who finds herself on the wrong side of unattractive proved yet again the ugliness more than skin deep. During a recent cocktail reception at a charity gala, she pushed herself and her husband in front of a society photographer, demanding a photo. When the photographer asked the woman’s name, the attention-seeking lady went berserk that the photographer didn’t know who she was! She caused such a ruckus that other guests looked on in disbelief. In these tough economic times, do we really need to put up with this?
