Nov.30th at the landmark Dutton's Bookstore
in Los Angeles
Afterparty : Border’s Books & UMMBA Grill in
Century City
 Highlights: The
release party for Never
Trust a Man in Alligator Loafers was a five-star event! Hosted
by dating expert and author Donna Sozio, celebrity entertainers
Paul Ryan, Nina Manni, Tracy Martin and Blake Griffen brought
to the stage their favorite selections of the book while
adding Sole Stories of their own. Teva, Rainbow Sandals
and Tom’s Shoes for Tomorrow sponsored the Shoe Give-Away. MADISON
at Fred Segal coupled shoe readings from Alligator Loafers with
an interactive Men’s Shoe Exhibit. Guests dove
into their gift bags filled with sweet swag while noshing
on innovative appetizers and deserts.
The Swag: Bright yellow gift bags brimmed
with Capelli NY slippers, the entire line of Astara Facial
Masks, Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer Kits, Coral Tree Café and
Golden Bridge Yoga gift certificates, Complimentary Facial
Rejuvenations by Shohreh Pezeshki, the infamous book Wink by
Roger Hamilton and affirmative jewelry by The Good Cheer Company.
The Fare: Guests
lined up for chef Dana Lynn Bridges’ endive
crab salad, mozzarella & tomato balsamic skewers and delicious
fresh tropical fruit sticks drizzled in decadent chocolate. Speaking
of chocolate, Donna is a proponent of chocolate in her book
and wouldn’t consider a party with Cacao Couture’s
organic truffles! Coral Tree Café also served
up dessert trays of extraordinary delight and Her Energy Drink
kept everybody going until well past the after party at Borders
Books and Ummba Grill in Century City.
Special thanks to Hardmount
Camera Mounts, Walter Cardenas Photography, and Michael Baumgarten
