Last night the Art Production Fund, that downtown nonprofit run by the glamorous duo of Yvonne Force Villareal and Doreen Remen, threw its annual benefit at the Park Avenue Armory, and it was a party to remember. In the words of Saturday Night Live's Stefon, it had everything: Zombie performance art (Ryan McNamara, standing stock-still in the midst of the cocktails, with his eyes bugged out and fingers crooked like a B-movie ghoul), ballgown hors d'oeuvre table-rinas (a server who glided around the room with a table of snacks surrounding her, worn like a dress), caviar push-pops (one of those hors d'oeuvres, delicious), judgmental nude ladder girls (artist Eloise Fornieles, who sat horned and naked atop a step-ladder, writing imaginary critiques of the guests on pieces of paper and letting them fall to the ground, to be picked up; one said "Was once a boy standing in his school uniform for the first time. Mother kissed him goodbye. His lip trembled"), and Dana Schutz portrait sittings (what it sounds like, incredibly).

Organized by onetime club queen Amy Sacco, the evening was lavish and surprising in all the right places — including the gift bag, which inexplicably contained a letter from Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand, who stated that she was "especially pleased to join my voice with yours in honoring Clarissa Dalrymple and John Demsey," the evening's honorees.
