Last night at the Whitney Museum of American Art, party fixture Patrick McMullen held his book launch party for GLAMOUR GIRLS. According to our favorite social chronicler, McMullen turned the book signing ritual on its head and into yet another social. From New York Social Diary:

''The book-signing was in the big subterranean space at the Whitney. Patrick was there surrounded by a multitude of friends, fans and assistants, in his dark suit and white shirt, his locks shorn to the investment banking executive's level. The room was full of the biggest, widest melange of social characters ever assembled in New York (except maybe once upon a time at Studio 54).

'' ... The signing ran from 7 -- 9, but since it's not like any other book signing because it's really just another one of Patrick's parties which he occasionally hosts, it cudda run all night.''

Among the guests were Michael Musto, David "Abs" Zinczenko, Wilbur Ross, Robin Byrd, Lynn Yaeger, Mary McFadden,
