New York, December 9, 2008 – Ray-Ban, maker of uber-cool sunglasses, celebrated its classic 1950s-1960s-inspired Clubmaster style with a cool party at New York’s Bowery Ballroom.  Indie bands Black Kids, Ipso-Facto and White Williams reinterpreted their favorite ‘50s and ‘60s songs at the legendary music hall for guests including Kevin Bacon, Maggie Gyllenhaal and lovebirds Johsua Jackson and Diane Kruger.  The Gossip Girl stars popped in and chatted about holiday plans.  Chace Crawford will visit his family down in Texas, and Ed Westwick will reunite with old friends in the U.K.   Blake Lively will spend the holidays with her family, and her boyfriend, Penn Badgley, says he’s undecided – he’s considering taking a trip, or maybe just staying in New York City for Christmas day – he’s leaving it until the last minute. 

Ray-Ban will also hold Remaster Clubmaster events in Beijing and Milan.
