Remember Susan Hancock, the art collector lady with the well-shorn young consultant who was the subject of a long, dismissive story in the Times yesterday all about how she bought her way in even though she's from, eww, Orlando? Well, this is 55-year-old Ms. Hancock's big weekend—she crops up in today's paper, and it looks like her golden homo guide boy Eric Shiner (self-described "Socialite, Taste Maker, Style Guru, Art Terminator") has been introducing her to his friends. According to a Sunday Styles report by Lola Ogunnaike, Ms. Hancock was spotted at a cocktail party last Monday hosted by Jeremy Kost, the nightlife photographer and some kind of artist who may or may not be still the flavor of the month. (In any event, v. v. downtown!)

Ms. Hancock is generously described as "an art collector dotted with diamonds," roosting happily next to a woman with tattoos all over her body who plays in a band called "The New York Times."

Later in the evening, Kost reportedly took a select portion of his posse to the Flatiron for dinner at Aspen, where he gets free food. (Don't you?)

As guests passionately discussed art over polenta fries, a drag queen named Candice Cayne lip-synched, with mixed success, to songs like Madonna's "Vogue," and re-enacted scenes from "The Devil Wears Prada." Ms. Hancock admired Ms. Cayne's beauty, even tipping her $40. "Those are implants," Mr. Kost said, "but she has all the other stuff." Ms. Hancock's eyes grew wide. She was quiet for a moment. "Well," she said eventually, "she works hard for her money."

We'll see her on Socialite Rank any moment know, up in the Fabiola Beracasa leagues!
