Girls just wanna have fun - even the President's daughter. Barbara Bush put on quite a show when she stepped out Wednesday night with her "very good friend" Fabian Basabe, a preppy party-hopper dubbed one of the city's most eligible bachelors.
They hit the dance floor at a swank soiree for fashion designer Jennifer Nicholson (daughter of Jack) at the Chelsea hot spots Sette and Viscaya.
First Daughter Barbara wore a flouncy, cleavage-baring slip dress over jeans and high heels, while Basabe, son of an Ecuadoran businessman, had on a sweater and polo shirt.
The 21-year-old Yale senior - who was busted with her twin, Jenna, for underage drinking in Texas in 2001 - sipped margaritas at a table littered with Veuve Cliquot champagne bottles.
Then she and her date showed off dance moves they could have picked up from the sword-wielding belly dancer gyrating on the bar. It was all captured exclusively by Daily News photographer Richard Corkery.
With drag queen Lady Bunny at the turntables, Bush straddled Basabe's leg, gazed into his eyes and let him dip her to the floor. She hung off him like a dangling chad.
And you thought Jenna Bush was the wild one.
The club was mobbed with boldfaced names like Grace Hightower (Mrs. Robert DeNiro) and Ivanka Trump (the original apprentice).
But all eyes were on Bush as she made the rounds, with Secret Service agents tailing her at a discreet distance.
"She hopped around," said one guest. "She's very friendly, uninhibited. She wasn't exactly Paris Hilton, but she's fun. She's not afraid to have a drink."
Christiaan McPherson said he took Bush for a spin - and gave her high marks.
"We got into it, and she was a lot of fun," he said. "She knows how to shake her shoulders."
The genie-themed shindig was hosted by first cousin Lauren Bush, socialites Amanda Hearst, Tinsley Mortimer and Elisabeth Kieselstein-Cord and PR man R. Couri Hay.
Basabe didn't want to talk about his relationship with Bush, and the White House never comments on the private lives of the presidential progeny.
But from the pelvis-pounding dance they did, it sure looked as if Basabe had joined Bush's coalition of the willing.
"He's very attractive, and they were dancing, shall we say, closely," a partygoer told The News. "Some might say dirty dancing."
Bush and Basabe, 25, an aspiring actor featured in E! Entertainment Network's "Young, Rich and Famous," have been quietly close for some time.
"You could say he's her very good friend," one insider said.
Gotham magazine put him on a list of eligible bachelors, and the Learning Channel hired him for its "Faking It" series.
The "it" boy has said he was "promised" to lingerie-empire heiress Martina Borgomanero, but was "semi-single" and dating other people.
And I told you. No reply?
No. I'm showing that your system of judging character isn't accurate since by your system, Noah would have not been judged righteous.
And no one ever said drunkeness was evil at any point.
You did, didn't you?
Definetly stupid and, when done frequently, a warning sign. You opposed to those of us who point out idiotic behavior?
Yeah I am. I think you are silly. People like to have fun, especially at 21. You can't expect 21 year-olds to live the lives of retirees.
I was thinking of the leader of The Rogues in the movie 'Warriors'.
clink, clink, clink.. Warrrriors.... Come out and plaaaaaaaaaaayaaaaaah....

I've had a lot of fun and I have many regrets. But I'd rather be like me than to be someone too timid to ever have adventures.
I think you need to reread the Old Testament. The action was between Ham and Noah's wife, not between Ham and Noah.
Point out where I said being drunk is evil please.
You said that you are judging these girls based on their going out. If you're not judging their character, what are you judging?
I, and other citizens, only expect to go about our days in peace and without state interefence. If a 21 yr old or a 50 yr old wants to drunk himself or herself silly by all means do so. But the rest of us have every right to point out how such behavior is low class and trashy.
Noah wasn't low class and trashy so your system fails.
9:20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
9:21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. ----------------------
"You said that you are judging these girls based on their going out. If you're not judging their character, what are you judging?"
That's not the question. You said I was referring to their activities as being evil. You lied and are simply inferring words I didn't speak. While not evil too, that's pretty disingenuous.
I'll give a bible101 lesson for you: Here is what "uncovering your father's nakedness means:
Lev 18:8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it [is] thy father's nakedness.
So to uncover your father's nakedness means to lie with your father's wife. Also can you put two and two together? Notice that Noah cursed Ham's son Canaan. He cursed Ham's son Canaan because Canaan was the result of Ham and Noah's wife lying together. Told him to live somewhere else, probably with Ham, assuming Ham had already been ejected from the family nine months before.
That's not the question. You said I was referring to their activities as being evil. You lied and are simply inferring words I didn't speak. While not evil too, that's pretty disingenuous.
There are different degrees of evil. The bible speaks of every sin as evil. You said you judged their character based on their actions of going out. You're saying their going out is mark against their character and so aren't you saying that their going out is a sin. And sin is evil, right?
