Erotic, Hypnotic

The National Arts Club showed off its lusty side last night (who knew?) during a night devoted to the study of eroticism. Hosted by artist Annika Connor and designer Danielle Schachter, the evening featured theatercraft, music, visual art and even an exploration of chocolate as an aphrodisiac. Engaging just about every sense (with the excpetion of touch) the salon was designed to titllate, and did not disappoint. Capping off the evening with Champagne and "Love Potion" bon bons by chocolatier Jacques Torres, the night's guests could not help but exit the Gramercy Park landmark feeling a little frisky. Anyone who didn't clearly wasn't paying attention.
