The most steady trend is culinary sites. Many secular persons arrange luxurious diet - with a mandatory named seating behind the tables and changes in dishes. So if I used to show yourself (even in restaurants) to show yourself and see others, now they come to visit (do not believe it!) To eat tasty.
And every star owner, which from time to time calls friends "on tea", has its own branded recipes. The photographer and the secular lioness Ulyana Sergienko is famous for the delicious Chebureca, the Galerist Aidan Salahova often feeds the guests of Plov, and Valentina Yudashkina prepares such a number of dishes from the chicken, which Svetlana Medvedev itself (the frequent guest in his house) is sometimes asked to share a culinary secret.
If you do not want to invite to yourself, I don't want to (some star person still keep the impudarity of their own "fortress"), then there is a decent alternative. You can simply take apartments for one or two evenings and already there to arrange gatherings on your taste and wallet. By the way, about the last: even taking into account the rental fee for the room, such a party is still cheaper than a party in some restaurant.
At one time, the homeports took place in the unknown new building of the luxury. Developers - for advertising - gave one of the apartments for such evenings. Marketing move was very accurate: potential buyers could personally evaluate all the delights of the new housing. In addition, you see, it is nice to become a full owner of the apartment, in which the Smith Patti performed, and Kirill Serebrennikov presented her new picture.
However, restaurants our celebrities are also removed on the evening. And sometimes such a rent looks very funny: it turns out that the institution provides only its walls. After all, they are preparing for the whole company not local cooks, but the organizers of parties themselves. Thus, the spouses Leonid Parfenov and Elena Chekalova once staged an amazingly "delicious" reception in one fashionable Pite-eaterian institution. Preparing, of course, Elena herself. She solemnly endured every dish in the hall, and Leonid painted - as he can only! - Unusual stories related to the history of the next culinary masterpiece.
By the way, that Elena Chekalov is an excellent owner, the whole country learned exactly thanks to homemade sites. Visiting spouses are often going to large warm companies. During the next dinner, Konstantin Ernst and made Elena proposal from which she could not refuse. He confessed his love for her cook talent and invited to share unusual recipes with the whole country - through a new culinary transmission. Elena, however, at first, he was very doubted whether she was worthwhile, to be involved in such an adventure. She then even turned for help to his long-standing friend Galina Volchek. And Galina Borisovna rehearsed with his girlfriend her appearance in front of the camera, firmly confuding inspiring: she, not actress, the main thing in any way is not to play in any way, but simply be yourself.
Writer Viktor Erofeev is not chasing the number of guests. It is important for him that those who came perfectly complemented each other. Photo: Gennady Avramenko.
... "And come to us tonight, Daria My Pupies baked" (Mikhail Bulgakov, "Theater Roman") - This quotation is right about actress Anna Arda. In her house, she is always full of guests, and many appear without an invitation. Therefore, here you just do not meet the pathos of the covered tables with a sign near each seating area. Everything is extremely democratic and incredibly tasty.
A very welcoming house and the singer Diana Gurtskaya. "For me, this is an ordinary situation," she says. - The door in my parents' house never closed, always stood the table. Apparently, similar accommodation was transferred to me. "
The number of visitors slightly decreased when Diana gave birth to Konstantin's son. For some reason, many familiar counted that it seems to be uncomfortable to disturb the young mother and the baby. But the singer herself began to call all the guests, and soon the homemade gatherings of Gurzkaya resumed.
Writer Viktor Erofeev is not chasing the number of guests. It is important for him that those who came perfectly complemented each other. And only according to the leadable law of the puzzle. Therefore, it is often in the cozy apartment of the author of "Russian Beauty" at the same table there are scandalous Ksenia Sobchak and a modest teacher of the University, Maxim Galkin and a lithon-actor publisher.
Natalia Sydeeva takes not a meal, but atmosphere. And the gatherings in her house always end with crazy dances. And even those who also preferred to be sitting at the table at the dance.
Among the metropolitan bohemia adopted and away holidays. So, in early May, a rather extensive clan of favorites flies to the Cote d'Azur: there is a well-known blogger, the publisher and businesswoman Nick Belotserkovskaya is familiar with the dinner with a "registered" duck. She, by the way, in the winter it is satisfied with noble gatherings with a mandatory borsch in his chalet in Courchevel (they tell, Nick is preparing at least fifty liters at a time!). In May, takes guests on his Mediterranean villa and Alexander Mamut businessman. True, he himself does not get up to the stove, preferring to invite some famous chef marked not by one Mishlen star.
Often, home parties are simply arranged "about". For example, Alexander Vertinskaya loves to invite guests "to a new picture." Everything is chinno, they lead secular conversations, and at the same time admire the acquired web. Many still remember the beautiful Rauta on the purchase of Alexander and her spouse - the Galerist Emelyan Zakharov - the pictures of Feather Adam France Van der Maleylene.
Irina Khakamad once invited the metropolitan bond to the apartment presentation of his book. In addition to literary readings of all those who came (and there were about seventy people!) I expected a concert of classical music. Irina is generally famous for the fact that in her house there are very nontrivial events. Many secular lionesses still, red, remember the bachelorette party who has a khakamad in honor of the silver wedding of the four famous businessmen. Then forty young lady, whose photos can be constantly found on the pages of fashionable glossy magazines, in turn recalled their love stories. They say that after several glasses of champagne, some memories were very piquant.
Irina herself believes that the trigger of fellow citizens to a similar party is quite explained - especially in the light of the current political situation. "These home evenings resemble the kitchen gatherings of the seventies. I am glad only that since then our kitchens have become much larger! "
In general, Irina can be called in some sense revolutionary. After all, it was on her apartment dusovka for the first time ... sponsors. The well-known manufacturer of elite strong alcohol not only provided all guests with a hot and treat (as the true daughter of his people Irina all fed sushi), but also began to decorate the apartment: something from the furniture was made for a while, some items skillfully decorated. Also, this generous sponsor assumed the design, printing and sending invitations. And after the gatherings I paid the cleaning of the room.
But the most unexpected parties in secular circles are famous for the singer Eva Polna. It is satisfied with the modest bachelides who are going to a narrow circle of her girlfriends (guests are usually read by immodest poems under the accompaniment of live music), and lush, stormy costuned boots. "As a rule, such holidays I arrange on my birthday," says Eve. - There are people who celebrate such dates in a narrow family circle, and there are those who love to do it with a scope. I just really understand the second category - I always celebrate a large company. And always invent some topics. We had, for example, the "pioneer" party. There was a strict dress code: all girls came in skirts, with bows, boys in shorts. Then we arranged a contest of a pioneer song, went to the places, raised the flag, and the relay began. There was another birthday in the style of "We are in Hollywood." Guests were issued hipges - everyone was a Hollywood star. Everyone was held on the red carpet ... Word, fun, trustly. They got drunk, of course, along the way, because it was not impossible to get drunk - still a birthday. "

Back, in cellars?
Another pronounced trend of recently is "apartment", as if returned to us from the eighties. These are chamber home concerts that collect music lovers (with the culinary component here is usually tugged). Moreover, they perform at such parties as young musicians, for whom this is the only opportunity to make their way to his listener and Mastodonts (they, apparently, nostalgia in his youth is waking up from time to time). For the young row "apartment" - the same concert as thirty years ago for Viktor Tsoi or Boris Grebenshchikova. Only if then it was the confrontation of the official ideology, then in the current times - I visited the show business. Well, and Maram is simply pleasant to plunge into the atmosphere of his youth in a warm friendly company, where they do not hide behind the backs of the guards.
In St. Petersburg, "apartment" is most often held at a well-known address on Babushkin Street. There lives a graduate of the Faculty of Radio Engineering and Telecommunications of St. Petersburg Gate Dmitry Gorokhovsky, who at some point decided to revive the adaptable form of concerts. Almost ten years ago, in 2003, he became friends with the musicians of his beloved group "Winter Beasts". Invited them to visit the party, and then I realized that the "apartment" is quite viable and in our today's realities. Since then, concerts have almost daily at home. On one of the sites posted a poster, there is a pre-recording.
And in Moscow, the most popular destination for such events is considered the famous "apartment with cats" on the avenue of the world. She became due to the group "Children Picasso": after steep Seychen, the musicians painted almost all the walls of their temporary refuge, and exclusive cats. Today, this apartment is almost a museum exhibit. Many played here: from anyone who is not famous newcomers before the scandalous cord.
Competition "Apartment with cats" at the same time was a "good apartment." The dwelling once belonged to the opera singer of the hope of Obukhova (also loved, by the way, homemade sites with songs and sincere conversations). And today Svetlana Surgana concerts were held here, Pavel Kashin, Friday Group. But, alas, some time ago speeches in this apartment unexpectedly stopped. However, there are still many other points that Flat lovers know very well. They have their own website where the information is promptly postponed, who, where and at what address will perform. Pleasant Bonus: Entrance to such events is often absolutely free. Well, except for you to buy something tasty for the evening.

Know ours!
Foreign bohemia also practices at home at home. Moreover, the living space completely allows you to arrange a luxurious party on no less luxurious villas. If, in the seventies-eighties, the main treats at such parties were cocaine and alcohol (which only Ugara is worth a guest at Martin Scorsese, Jack Nicholson or Dennis Hopper), today is increasingly greyhound. Moreover, the current stars of Hollywood do not forget about those with whom they were friends, still not known to anyone. So, Olsen's sisters - Mary-Kate and Ashley - every Sunday (if, of course, time allows) to visit their school buddies. While the father of twins is preparing a barbecue, the whole company swims in the pool and places memories of his youth.
However, our compatriots make themselves to know outside their homeland. Many Hollywood stars still remember the coolest party, which for the last new year arranged Roman Abramovich on his overseas villa in the Caribbean. Among the two hundred and fifty guests were directed by George Lucas, actress Salma Hayek, family (then) Chet Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, singer Alisha Kiz and (from Russia) Ksenia Sobchak with a satellite. Guests who wanted to be in this friendly company, but spare money on a ticket, the generous owner delivered individual flights to a party. In the role of Santa Claus, the star of films "Acquaintance with Factors" comedian Bin Stiller, and how much this holiday cost this holiday, the story modestly silent. But everyone who attended the party, in one voice confirm: Russians, of course, know how to have fun with a scope!
Do you remember how it all started?
In fact, the current trend is just a memory of the secular salons of past centuries, which perfectly described the Lion Tolstoy, Marseille Prost, Gi de Maupassant and others like them. Louis XIV people consider such a time of the transmission to be the attitude of such a time. The "King Sun" arranged Rauta in his palace in Versailles. Moreover, he collected guests not only entertainment for the sake. Thus, Louis Xiv distracted his courtesy from intrigue and paid them.
In Russia, Anna Pavlovna Shero-Ferulin and an approximate empress Maria Fedorovna was the most famous mistress of the Great Salon. From the description of one of the evenings in her house, as everyone remembers, begins his novel "War and Peace" Lion Tolstoy.
Among the current culinary geniuses and the organizers of home parties are very popular, the book of Yuri Lotman, Soviet literature and culturologist enjoy. He issued an on-mountain to a whole study of the gastronomic morals of the Russian aristocracy of the middle of the XIX century, including the example of the Ober-Ptopleseister family of the Emperor-Skor P. D. D. Runovo. In the book "Great Lights", for example, the menu is scrupulously described for every day with an exact indication of those present guests. "Lunch or dinner is not only dishes served on the table, not only the dining ritual and the interior of the dining room," wrote Lotman. - This is the mood of guests, and drinking conversations, and sometimes disputes. Such oral history is even harder to be in hand than the history of life. The feast conversation - the sphere is still completely unexplored, and meanwhile it is one of the extremely active parties to household life. It is even more like culinary art, belongs to the grace of the story that the MiG flashes and immediately disappear, almost not leaving traces. "
Our Grand Ladies, constantly setting parties, are chasing the work of Lotman in all bustic stores. And delivering a rarity, keep it as a zenitsa of an eye. After all, so I want to give the hostess of the real secular salon, which not only follows the last trends, but also knows the traditions of century ago!
