What is Brooke Geahan Up To Now?

When we last checked in with downtown doyenne Brooke Geahan, the founder of the defunct Accompanied Library was still pouting about her Library being booted from its home at the National Arts Club. The Accompanied Library, despite reports that hiphop mogul Damon Dash was throwing his weight behind it, was presumed dead. But then there was Art Basel and Brooke Geahan, like a phoenix, rose again! This time though, she looked somehow aged—and was auctioning off a Botox session with Dr. Timothy Colbert.

The Accompanied Library Is Back—Thanks To Damon Dash?

Last night we were at the National Arts Club for the launch party for Supper Club, Tamsin Lonsdale's socialite dining and dating club, now being imported from London. Supper Club boasts a huge committee of the social set. Everyone's breath smelled like smoked salmon. The place brings back memories! The National Arts Club used to rent out an apartment there, via sort-of art dealer and real estate heir and "party-going bachelor" Tim Nye, to the Accompanied Library, the now-defunct lending library and literary salon. But apparently the relationship between Library co-founder Brooke Geahan and Nye went south, and Nye tossed them out.
