Cynthia and Tony Maltese pulled out all the stops for their "Holiday Cocktail" party, which featured a lively presentation of Joan Jedell's society portraits at their exquisite Fifth Ave. abode.

Guests mingled over cocktails among a gallery of captivating archival portraits, each photographed and uniquely, digitally painted, capturing the essence of Jedell's subjects. Those "well-hung" on and off the wall: Joan Rivers, Mai Hallingby Harrison, David Patrick Columbia, Regis Philbin, Margo Langenberg, Colleen and Gary Rein, Denise and Larry Wohl, Cindy Adams, Marianne Brandsetter, Dr. Pat Allen, John and Margo Catsimatidis, Bill McMenemy, Chiaki Imai, RFR Realty's Richard Farley, Madame Paulette's John Mahdessian, Margo MacNabb, and Dennis Herman.
