Last night Men's Health magazine celebrated not only its forthcoming 25th anniversary, but its 9th Annual Grooming Awards, with a party at the Standard hotel's 18th floor disco den. While Brian Boye, the magazine's Fashion Director, and Ronan Gardiner, its Publisher, welcomed guests and lucky honorees—there was no actual award ceremony. Good news for party people: More time for those mind-blowing views of Manhattan, endless bottles of prosecco, fancy hor d'oeuvres, and stations affording revelers the chance to grab customized pocket squares, shoe shines, and (why not?) a little nail art.
