There was an impromptu pajama party at Claridges around 5am Saturday morning when the fire alarm went off and all the contemporary art crowd- in London for Frieze and the auctions- padded out onto the sidewalk (which is vacuumed regularly by Claridge's staff) in their slippers and bath robes. Everyone from architect Richard Meier, Samantha Boardman (pregnant with her second child) and hubbie Abe Rosen, Vanity Fair writer Bob Colacello, Dallas collectors Cindy and Howard Rachovsky and New York dealers Mugrabhi and Charlie Coles were standing around not looking their best. San Francisco collector Trevor Traina made sure to grab his precious auctions catalog before he dashed for the exit. And Simon de Pury, owner of Philips auction house, was one of the few who dressed for the occassion.Artist Richard Serra was somewhere in the crowd. People were joking how everyone looked better with their clothes on, and don't look in Claridge's lovely Art Deco mirrors on the return trip. Not a pretty sight. In all, about 400 Claridges guests were milling around Brooke street at the crack of dawn, probably chatting about the previous night's Sotheby's auction The hotel is giving everyone half off their room price for that night.
