Despite the too-low-for-the-season temperature, hundreds strolled up and down West Palm Beach’s design district Saturday night for the Young Friends of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County’s yearly Evening on Antique Row. Dixie Highway was shut down to cars between Southern and Greenwood, and visitors got to check out more than 40 acclaimed antique stores. The party then shifted to the pool deck of CityPlace’s South Tower. Check out Michael Price’s gallery of the wingding by clicking here or on the photo:

One of the most popular rendez-vous of the season, the Red Cross Designers’ Show House, previewed Wednesday night for 300-plus VIPs mostly plucked from the younger, moneyed society.

For a change the event — where 18 interior designers designed their dream rooms — takes place in a downtown West Palm Beach luxury condo building instead of the usual historic lakefront mansions.

The designers invaded four penthouses on the upper floors of the 20-story CityPlace South. (Click on the photo to launch the gallery!)

Another change was a distracting swimwear fashion show by the contemporary line Tibi at the breathtaking 9th floor pool. Well, distracting in a good way.

“The theme of the event and the style that the designers followed is urban vacation pied-a-terre,” said preview event Chairwoman Aime Dunstan.

In addition to visiting the penthouse, guests who pulled out $150 got world-class food by Chef Zach Bell and music by DJ Nick Flash.

Lady Gaga, the ultra-hot singer of Poker Face, appeared at the balcony of her penthouse at Miami Beach’s Fontainebleau Resort in her beautiful lacy undies Thursday afternoon, hours before her New Year’s Eve gig at the hotel. The party was one of last night’s hottest tickets anywhere, with prices going from $425 per person to $25,000 per table. Gaga reportedly received $300,000 to be there.

Perfect makeup: Check! Perfect hair: Check! Hip clothes and thigh-high boots: Check! This, people, is reality TV star Kim Kardashian exiting a red eye from LaLaLand at 5 a.m. today at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport. Word is Kardashian is in town partly to find a love nest for her and boyfriend Reggie Bush, the undefeated New Orleans Saints’ running back. She’s also the co-grand marshal (with former Miami Heat star Alonzo Mourning) of tonight’s Christmas boat parade on Lauderdale’s canals. I guess Kim expects to sink! (See below)

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian seemed impressed with herself this weekend. As many as six Sunrise cops turned out their blue lights and sirens, disrupting traffic, to escort her limo after her paid appearance at the Sawgrass Mills Mall.

Kardashian, the star of E!’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians, twittered about it several times on her way back to her hotel in Miami Beach after she helped open the new A’Gaci at the mall with her mom, Kris Jenner. Police were there to keep several hundred youths at bay, then treated her like the second coming.

“Seriously my mom & I felt like the president! So odd but cool,” Kardashian twittered.

The unveiling of the Sex2Sea swimwear line Friday night on lower Clematis (Ray Graham/The Palm Beach Post)

There’s so much construction that downtown West Palm Beach looks like a war zone, again.

But the place suddenly was beautified late Friday — and it didn’t cost the city a penny.

Twelve Elite and Wilhelmina swimsuit models gave about 500 local swells an eyeful on a 60-foot runway built outdoors near the French restaurant Pistache. The occasion: The unveiling of a line of swimwear dubbed Sex2Sea, “pretty enough for the bedroom, but made for the water.”

The lacy bikinis were designed by local entrepreneurs Christy Sugrue and former gubernatorial galpal Kelly Heyniger, a former contestant on America’s Hottest Mom who dated Gov. Charlie Crist just before his met the First Lady, Carole Rome.

The swimwear, I’m told, is specially designed to avoid embarrassing views while still providing a curve-revealing fit.

Needless to say, Page2Live had a grand ole’ time in the front row. Check out Ray Graham’s photo gallery:

Actress Pam Anderson may be a dirrrty girl, but at least, she smells good! Pammy took advantage of her early arrival for Saturday night’s Make-a-Wish Foundation gala in Miami to do a little selling. The former Baywatch babe, 42, hawked her own line of perfumes,  Malibu Day and Malibu Night,  at the W hotel on Fort Lauderdale Beach Thursday. The day juice is described as fruity floral with a hint of honeysuckle. The night stuff is more oriental, with black orchids and lotus. And animal lover Anderson says she made sure no animal was harmed during production. Malibu retails in chain drugstores and discount outlets.

Britto

Renowned Miami pop artist Romero Britto consummated his deal with Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross to make Land Shark Stadium look prettier. He led dozens of children, cheerleaders and team staff this weekend in starting to paint his tropical-colored designs on the outside walls.

Britto, who dressed up hundreds of dancers for the 2007 Super Bowl in South Florida, promised to be done on time for the team’s home opener, the Sept. 21 Monday Night Football game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Right on time for the start of the U.S. Open, Palm Beach Gardens tennis champ Serena Williams unveiled her wax figure Thursday at Madame Tussauds in Manhattan. Serena in-the-flesh is on the left. And in case you’re wondering, the superhero boots and cheerleader getup were worn by Williams during the 2004 tournament.

Williams’ memoir, meanwhile, comes out in hardcover Tuesday. On The Line goes into the shooting death in 2003 of Williams’ sister, Yetunde Price, and Williams’ insecurities about her body.  Yep, Serena Williams does feel fat at times. At least, her wax dummy will never have to worry about yo-yo weight.
