A clean closet is a reason to throw a party

NEW YORK (AP) -- Are you surrounded by stuff you never use?
In the eyes of Lara Shriftman and Elizabeth Harrison that's not a problem, it's an excuse to party!
The New York publicists, whose bashes attract celebrities such as Lenny Kravitz and Naomi Campbell, have written a book called "Fete Accompli! The Ultimate Guide To Creative Entertaining" (Potter).
Instead of spending Saturday afternoon cleaning your closet, invite friends to a "gab and swap party." It's the same thing but it sounds like so much more friend. Guests also can bring over the clothes, accessories and beauty products they never wear, and everyone will get some shopping and purging done -- while snacking and chatting.
"One girl's trash is another girl's treasure," Shriftman and Harrison write.
