style="text-align: left;">The MOMa&#8217;s Garden Party benefits the museum&#8217;s Annual Fund and the maintenance of <strong>The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden</strong> and last night&#8217;s attendees were of an appropriately distinguished lot.</p><p
style="text-align: left;">But for every <strong>Mayor Michael Bloomberg</strong> or <strong>Larry Gagosian</strong> there was a <strong>Chloë Sevigny</strong> or <strong>Aziz Ansari</strong> who perhaps didn&#8217;t come for the dinner (with tables going for $25,000 to $100,000, who could blame them?) but for the after-party at the museum&#8217;s Terrace 5 Lounge.</p><p
style="text-align: left;">The line for that party stretched down 54th St &#8212; filled with people who didn&#8217;t cough up the $500 for VIP tix, no doubt &#8212; and by the time Kanye took the stage at 11-ish, there were an extra 1500 guests ready to rap-sing along to their favorite tunes.</p><p
style="text-align: left;">His set, a little over an hour, was punctuated by Jay-Z who was apparently granted permission to leave the penthouse from wifey, <strong>Beyoncé</strong>. Jay then ordered the crowd to go H.AM. &#8212; and if you&#8217;re as out-of touch with today&#8217;s hippity-hop as I am, that means &#8220;Hard As A Motherfucker. &#8220;</p><p
style="text-align: left;">If only I could&#8217;ve seen Mayor Bloomberg fucking shit up with Chloë and Aziz, my life would be complete. [<em><a

" width="300" height="400" />The next time you go shopping on 5th Avenue, pay attention to which stores stuff your new goodies in plastic bags&#8230;oh, and prepare to toss a few nickels for the bags while you&#8217;re at it. Thanks to Mayor Bloomberg and Friday&#8217;s budget announcement, there will be a five-cent tax on all plastic bags in New York City. Estimated to raise $100 million for the city, I&#8217;m starting to wonder if this tax is a &#8220;fundraiser&#8221; for the Big Apple or simply a reason for people to reduce, reuse and recycle. The five-cents you&#8217;ll toss at the cashier may seem like chump change, but the cost certainly adds up for something you&#8217;ll end up throwing away sooner or later. So, my fellow New Yorkers, I suggest you invest in a dozen of those reusable shopping bags&#8230;they&#8217;ll last longer than a plastic bag, will cost you less in the long run and reduce the amount of plastic floating around. Kill two birds with one stone without a bird actually dying from  plastic bag suffocation&#8230; </p><p> </p><p>For more, check out <a
