Helen Thompson Reception at Kirk Gallery
The Austin style community reveres writer and editor Helen Thompson. A certified veteran of local, regional and national publications, Thompson nevertheless maintains a rigorously contemporary tone and diction.
Elaine Garza, Helen Thompson
A little VIP party at Kirk Gallery downtown celebrated her editorship of Austin Monthly Homes, the domestic design, decor and lifestyle variation on the city slick, Austin Monthly.
Jeff Sartor, Tiffany Taylor, Leon Chen, all of Tiffs Treats Cookie Company
A certain cross-section of the guest list was foreseen: AM writers (J.B. Hager); AM reps (Ashley Nelson); AM publicists (Elaine Garza and gal pal Sam Davidson); AM or party vendors (we met a charming young man, Jeffrey Sartor, pushing his company’s delivered cookies — Tiffs Treats).
Stephen Moser, Jeff Kirk
Also present were the dear, inveterate socializers (Stephen Moser, Stephen Rice, Heath Riddles); the consummate host (Jeff Kirk) and Kirk Gallery neighbors (jewel-festooned Kappie Bliss and Charles Erwin from Beyond Tradition).
Ashley Nelson, Henry Burk
We also finally met Tad Speegle, whom we promised to introduce to Austin’s social scene, oh, a year ago, but we kept missing each other at parties. He wore some enormous, distinctive accessories which we are dying to ask about — along with that promised post-Vicodin martini.
Kathy Kelley, Bobby Bacon
