Calypso St. Barth on Madison Avenue was the scene of festive fun on Thursday evening, November 12th, when Woman Around Town hosted a special shopping event for its subscribers. Guests were greeted by Kimberley Partridge, Calypso’s director of marketing, public relations, and special events, Emilie Chanin, public relations manager, and Alicia Pritkin, manager of the Calypso store where the event was held. Shoppers also had a chance to meet the website’s publisher, Debra Toppeta, editor, Charlene Giannetti, as well as many writers. Elegantly outfitted servers passed out glasses of champagne as the shoppers decided on their purchases. Everyone agreed, the event was a great way to begin holiday shopping.
