Astor Courts | Chelsea Clinton's Wedding Site

• Photo #1. A view of the entrance to Astor Courts, designed by Stanford White and built in 1903.
• Photo #2. A closer view of the front exterior of the Stanford White design.
• Photo #3. The restored main reception room of the playhouse, now known as Astor Courts, where Chelsea Clinton's wedding will take place.

Learn more about the history of Astor Courts via The New York Social Diary. More photos too. Chelsea got a beautiful day for her wedding; one of the ten best days of the year in New York State. I can't wait to see the photos of the happy couple.

Jantzen Swimwear is 100 Years Old

Boy, does this ever make me feel old. I loved Jantzen bathing suits and always bought them. I really didn't even realize they were still in business and I certainly did not know the company was founded in 1910. How very smart of them to revive the line thanks to all that free advertising on MAD MEN. I thought it was very bold of Don Draper to dismiss them the way he did on the season premier. They deserved it for being so narrow-minded. View their creative 2010 ad campaign here. Do you think bathing caps will come back too?
