Due to my complete and total fascination with the New York City, my favorite daily read is New York Social Diary by David Patrick Columbia. It's an insightful journal of the social scene in New York, coupled with wonderful pictures of the people and places of the city.

My favorite entries are those of the parties he attends and I sit and wonder what it must be like to cater those events.

That's how my mind works.

It's not about wearing a fabulous dress and sitting at the best table - it's about wondering what they ate and who did all the work.

Today's entry shows a picture taken by Jeff Hirsch from last night's Opening Night Festivities for the New York City Opera.

That is a staging area for food service. On the other side of that curtain is the entrance where guests are greeted and given their seating assignments.

Nothing but a mere curtain separates two entirely different worlds.

Every event has a staging area. Sometimes it's a fabulous kitchen and sometimes it's a row of tables behind a screen or a curtain like the one above. So it's nice to see that even the big shots at Lincoln Center have that in common with the rest of us Whores.

I bet those ladies mock their clients and say bad words, too.
