Ella Markovsky threw a New Year’s Party with flair. Pictured (from left) are Aiden Ortiz, Rich Ortiz, and Ella and Kristina Markovsky. Everyone was a star at the Hollywood-themed production, which started at 10 p.m. As guests arrived on the red carpet, “news reporters” commented favorably on their stylish “designer”clothes (no matter if they were designer or not). Ms. South Texas Anastasia Semenova was stunning in white and didn’t need her crown to stand out. About 400 partiers celebrated under multi-colored confetti as they danced the night away. Steven Andrade from New York performed as a remarkable Cher. Aiden Ortiz, Ella’s 13-year-old son, selected and played the music.
