<p>Brooke Sheilds and Mariel Hemingway on New Year’s Eve 1978. “They’re watching a performance by Grace Jones at three o’clock in the morning,” Yokobosky says. “It’s hard to believe, because they were both teenagers. Grace Jones performed four songs. [She] came out in this big gold lamé outfit, and then she had 10 dancers that worked with her who were just wearing G-strings. They had done a whole set where it was a big cobra snake onstage, and Grace walked in under the Cobra mouth. So they’re reacting to her performance.”</p>

<p>A 1979 ad for Studio 54 jeans by Gordon Munro and Peter Rogers, with jeans designed by Norma Kamali. “That was during the designer jeans moment,” Yokobosky says. “Gloria Vanderbilt had her fashion show at Studio 54 for her jeans. Calvin Klein said a man came up to him at 4 a.m. in Studio 54 and said, ‘Have you ever considered designing jeans, blue jeans?’ And then Studio 54 decided that they should make Studio 54 jeans. Peter Rogers had written that great tagline, ‘What becomes a legend most’ for Backglama mink. And now for this he wrote, ‘Now everybody can get into Studio 54,’ a riff on people not being able to get past the velvet rope.”</p>](https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/54_004_2013_8_9.jpg?crop=3:2,smart&w=90)

<p>Valentine’s Day 1979. “Studio 54 was really well known for doing these big scene parties,” Yokobosky notes. “For other Valentine’s Day parties, the invitation was, you got a box in the mail, and then it had a gold arrow and it had a little scrolled red paper that invited you to come to the party. So they could do these elaborate invitations. When you walked into this particular one, they had a hallway, and on both sides of the hallway were 38 monitors showing scenes from Hollywood movies of people kissing. So you walk through this kind of kissing hallway before you got to the party room.”</p>](https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/EL_184.672_Std52_54_002.jpg?crop=3:2,smart&w=90)
