Re: 70th Birthday Dinner in Southampton
Dear Jeffrey,
As you know, I am in the South of France finishing up the last leg of my three week trip to London, Capri, Coronis and St. Maxime. Have had an amazing time.
Will be home on Friday, July 14th. Going straight to Southampton for the final planning of my 70th birthday party. The party will be at Avie and Gigi Mortimer's in Southampton on Saturday, July 15th.
What was originally to be a dinner for 30 I play tennis with, has grown into a mini event for 70 friends.
I've been working hard on organizing this for three weeks from Europe with my office, the caterer, and the florist. I think it's going to be sensation and I am very excited.
I have enclosed the invitation, the latest guest list, the bill from the caterer and the bill from the florist/party designer.
As you can see, the total is approx. $30k. What I am planning to do with the rest of your 100k gift (minus the 15k for Elton John) is use it for the renovation of my apartment. Will give you further details on that soon.
I cannot thank you enough for your amazing generosity and always making my life that much better. It makes me feel as if my own father is looking down upon both of us and thrilled that such a wonderful person is taking care of his daughter, as he would have, had he lived to be 100!
I wish you were able to be there. As you can see, the list is pretty interesting and only you could've made this birthday such a memorable one.
I am also updating the best seller "How to Look Like Me at 60" with a sequel called "How to Look Like Me at 70: The Sequel to How to Look Like Me at 60." Will give you the first signed copy.

P.S. Do you want the caterer and the florist to bill you directly? My accountant Josh put down a $6k deposit on the caterer.
Dear Jeffrey,
My third and final birthday soiree, hosted by Adam & Amalia Lindemann at their Andy Warhol compound in Montauk, was a huge success for 70 artists and lefties.
People like Bruce Weber, Dick Cavett, Julian Schnabel, Blythe Danner, and actress Cherry Jones showed up.
The lesbians were Dorothy Berwin and Dominique Levy and the token Republicans were Emilia and Pepe Fanjul who brought their yacht from Sag Harbor.
Rob Weisenthal came and provided a helicopter from Southampton at cost for Avi and Gigi Mortimer.
Lunch was in a tent, overlooking the ocean. Adam made a funny speech. I, of course, made a heartfelt speech about beauty and anti-aging.
I am sending by email my booklet. I will mail you some copies on Monday. It has a bright pink cover with a photo of me and a big bow. Tell me where to send them, you can give them out to all of your friends. I'll send you as many copies as you want. Please read it, even you can learn something, and it will make you laugh.
I just bought an amazing brown and beige leopard rug that is wall to wall carpeting for my whole apartment and being made in France. I probably won't have it for 4 months, but Stark is putting in a temporary floor covering until it comes. The total price is $39,123. Stark wants a 50% deposit, which is $19,561.50. Do you want to pay Stark directly or do you want to send me the deposit? Either way is fine.
When the apartment gets done, you're my first visitor.
I'm going to Nantucket on Pepe's boat this weekend. I'll be back on Monday. Hope you're well. Please tell me what you think of the new birthday booklet.
ΧΟΧΟ,
Peggy
