PHOTOS: Heart Shaped Box, a seductive Valentine’s party at Paper Factory Hotel

Seduction was the theme of the night at this Saturday’s Heart Shaped Box, the Valentine’s-themed dinner and party at Long Island City’s Paper Factory Hotel. After a feast of aphrodisiac foods (lobster, steak, chocolate-dipped fruits with champagne-infused whipped cream), it was on to a night-long Celebration of Love where snake charmers, magicians, contortionists, tarot readers, body painting and interactive art installations enticed the senses, with music from DJs Miss Sabado, 2Melo and $mall Change, and performances by Cairo’s Zeb the Spy, Avalon Jazz and Acapella Soul.
