Isaac Boots<\/a> began making their way a few blocks north, masks on, to The Plaza hotel for the start of Save Venice cocktail hour.<\/p>\n\n\t\u201cThese are accurate to the moon\u2019s craters,\u201d Mai said of his \u201cFollies\u201d mask, a veiled headpiece which featured a 3D-printed light-up orb, as Burris helped adjust the color setting from bright white to a deep orange glow. He was hopeful that the creation \u2014 given the timeliness of the recent lunar space launch \u2014 would help him win one of the evening\u2019s \u201cbest mask\u201d awards, a hunch that paid off when the judges later announced him as the winner of Most En Theme Mask. (The prize: products from Tilt Beauty and afternoon tea and Champagne for four at The Plaza\u2019s Palm Court.) Other mask winners included Zajacova and Lisa Chambers.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring cocktail hour, the Mendel team was joined by their gala date Kate Mara, while other guests including Amy Jackson, Claire O\u2019Connor, Natalie De\u2019Banco, Kate Bartlett and Yesly Dimate made their way up the hotel\u2019s grand staircase and into the atmospheric red-hued room, where more psychic and tarot card reading opportunities awaited before dinner.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201c\u200aWhen we can\u2019t be in Venice to celebrate and raise money for our restorations, The Plaza is sort of the next best moment,\u201d said Save Venice executive director Amy S. Gross. \u201cWe love that this is a night that allows our patrons to come together in celebration of keeping Venice\u2019s irreplaceable artistic heritage intact for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n
