DRESSED FOR SUCCESS AT NYC PALM WEST
Dominic Sassone With David Salidor And Robert Funaro
Robert Funaro With Gary Osland,Keith Girald, Michelle Novak And The Palms Bruce Bozzi Jr.
One of our favorite haunts ever, PALM WEST, held a dinner and smoker (!!!) for the wondrous DRESS FOR SUCCESS charity last night. Upon our arrival, we spied their pr-man DAVID SALIDOR (The Pasha!) and KEITH GIRARD, editor from the terrific on-line site The Improper at the bar. There we quickly met several of the DFS-people and BRUCE BOZZI, JR. from the Palm-corporate office. Behind the bar we immediately spied our fave-bar-keep CHRIS LOGAN and it was on from there. We chatted with the restaurant's DOMINIC SASSONE, who introduced us to their new GM JEREMY MAZAL. Great fellow, gracious, and a perfect host. From Miami ... welcome! ROBERT FUNARO, from THE SOPRANOS and AMERICAN GANGSTER was on hand as well. As we sauntered through, we saw several familiar faces, including Palm corporate honcho MICHELLE MCGUIRE and actor GORDON SILVA. DFS provides a service for women who are going through a rough patch in their lives. They'll find a suitable interview for a woman and dress her if need be for the interview and job. A godsend if there ever was one. Their success rate is high and they have received high marks for their efforts. Check out their web site for additional information. www.dressforsuccess.org/
It was a typically terrific evening at a restaurant that is one of the best ever in Manhattan. The Palm West remains an outstanding addition to restaurant-life-in-New York. It remains a startlingly good environment. Get ready for Funaro to star in a new play, LAMPOST REUNION in early-November. Check it out for sure. And one last mention, I ran into old friend Kathleen Turner at the table next door. She looked great, but was not sure if she remembered me at first. It has been so very long since we saw each other, almost another time and galaxy. She was the first photo I ever sold to a major tabloid. We all used to hang out together at the old Cat Club where ex. hubby Jay Weiss and his band the Blue Suits used to play. Those were the days.
