Dina Rabinovitch's wickedly entertaining account of a pyjama party launch held at 11 Downing Street..
Forget thousand-pound-a-ticket charity bashes: the tightest-kept secret of all is that you have to be in children's book reviewing if you want to name-drop the really swell parties. Lucky I am, then, because while Vogue's Fiona Golfar has been rattling off A-list gossip all morning, all I've been able to counter with is my "Hendon theory" - the one that posits that all important news stories have a Hendon connection.But when Fiona wants to know if there's anything particular I need clothes for... I get to say: "Yes, the chancellor and his wife are hosting a launch for a story collection, Stars at Bedtime." The invitations, studded with the names of attending celebrities, came complete with sets of Boden pyjamas, correctly sized and gendered, for accompanying children.
