The 8th Annual Toy Drive, hosted by David Barton Gym at the newly opened Astor Place fitness mecca, is what Christmas is all about: pushing and shoving and standing in line with a gift for a sweet little tot in one hand and a cocktail in the other. The legendary party queen Susanne Bartsch and her absolutely adorable cuddly stud David Barton welcomed “regulars” and just about everyone else in New York for their annual Toys for Tots party. Iconic fashion designers Marc Jacobs and Narciso Rodriguez, and Olympic Medalist Jason Rogers were among the guests who brought unwrapped toys, which will be donated to the Metropolitan Hospital, St Vincent’s Hospital, St Lucke’s-Roosevelt Hospital, Sunny Downstate, Kings County Hospital, Beth Israel Hospital and the Lower East Side Girls Club, NE Community Center and Astor Kids. David Barton Gym is committed to making a difference in the lives of children in need. Barton’s goal is to expand its Toy Drive around the country. www.DavidBartonGym.com.

Editors Update: We also just heard that Mirrorball's Michael Blatter, the marketing whiz behind the Société Perrier campaign, dropped off a Yukon truckload of gifts for the children. We've heard that in order to become a member of this Perrier Society, you have to learn how to pronounce "Société" in perfect French and say it fast, three times, no mistakes.
