Ravi Krishnan and Bandana Tiwari threw a party for Naomi Campbell last night and had a very select guestlist. She walked in post midnight and was whisked into a little glass room from where everyone could see her. A lot of the guests found that a bit too ridiculous as it was anyway a very [...]

1pm. 1st DAY. 1ST SHOW.
