July 4th wasn’t enough -- we just had to celebrate America one more time. Last night, Ugly Betty's America Ferrera was everywhere, as large placards featuring our August 2008 cover girl overlooked party-mongers at former Bungalow 8 doorman Armin Amiri’s West Village tropical hotzone Socialista. See our gallery of the full scenario. The affair was less a New York evening and more a Havana night (dirty dancing included), with surrounding island plants oxygenating the heated (and hot) crowd. But to Socialista’s credit, the spinning fans up top did wonders keeping body heat at bay. Our travel guides were being doled out like cigars in Cuba. The drink of choice was margaritas, the aptly named Juan Coronado was the man with the music, and we have no one but Partida tequila to blame for some people taking Outkast’s “Hey Ya!” a tad too seriously.
