 When the food was offered to the crowd at the conclusion of the  party, an unruly mob washed onto the Madison Square Garden floor  with some members stealing scenery and props as "mementos" of the  affair. Elizabeth Taylor said some waiters would hoard the  champagne, water it down and sell it to guests for $10.00 a bottle.  She said "the sight of chic, lacquered, coiffured, elegant women  fighting with little kids over a hamburger" contributed to making  the whole event an "unmitigated disaster".
