Our celebration
of welcoming in
FALL was another
fabulous evening
in spite of the
scare: the
announcement by
the weather
newscaster that
it would be
raining the
whole day and
through rush
hour into the
evening. My
thoughts
that morning of
the event that
it had
not rained for
several weeks,
so why did it
choose to rain
on this day? But
in spite of the
gloomy looming
news by the
weatherman that
it would be
raining hard
that whole
day. The place
was packed, full
of old and new
friends mingling
where they
shared their joy
of welcoming in
FALL. This is my
favorite time of
the year and I
am sure many
others also love
fall as much as
I do. Now I can
wear my business
suits (my best
and dear
outfits) without
putting on a
heavy coat, and
it is just the
perfect look.
Amazingly it did
not rain that
day and night,
so as usual, I
believe that my
prayers were
answered.
Because we had a
break for two
months during
the summer our
guests were
truly excited to
come back again
and visit with
our old
friends, and
meet wonderful
new people, and
our celebrity
guests. Everyone
was having such
a terrific
time. So as
usual, everyone
stayed ‘till the
wee hours of the
night. Sadly, I
had to leave my
guests again,
since it was
after
11:00 pm, late
and because my
ride had
arrived.
The venue was
held again
at The World Bar
at Trump Tower
International by
the United
Nations and
produced by
Gloria T.
Cressler,
CEO/Founder
of Elite
Professional
Networking Group
and Editor of
Black Tie
International
Magazine.
Co-hosted by
Black Tie
International
Magazine, Power
Team
International,
Giorgio G.
Cognac (by
famous designer
Giorgio GUCCI),
and Emperors
Vodka, Wine
WorldWide Inc.,
and Global Fine
Wines & Food
Connection.
Our Guest
Speaker was RITA
COSBY, a
renowned Emmy
winning TV &
Radio host,
veteran
correspondent
and best-
selling author,
who had anchored
highly
rated Prime Time shows
on Fox News
Channel and
MSNBC. Currently
she is a special
correspondent
for the
top-rated CBS
newsmagazine
Inside Edition
and hosts WABCs’ acclaimed radio
program: The
Rita Cosby Show.
Rita’s been
interviewed or
profiled by
hundreds of
media outlets
across America
and overseas.
She was selected
by Cosmopolitan
Magazine as a
“Fun and
Fearless
Female,” and
because of her
“extraordinary
journalism,”
October 11th,
2010 where she
was honored and
it was
officially named
“Rita Cosby Day"
for the State of
New York. The
highlight of the
evening was when
we presented
Rita a beautiful
Original
Painting by
Michael Indorao
of the Plaza
Hotel that was
painted in the
style of the
Victorian Era, a
very nostalgic
piece. This
painting came
out so
beautiful. Ms.
Cosby was so
ecstatic to
receive such a
fabulous
painting.
Everybody loves
her due to her
niceness and
friendly
demeanor. She
spent time
conversing and
having pictures
taken with our
guests.
Our
entertainment
was by Dan D'
Agnes. We never
had a comedian
before as our
entertainment,
but we attempt
to give
opportunities for
all types of
entertainment
venues. Dan D'
Agnes is a
working stiff
from Long
Island, New
York, who broke
into comedy
accidently when
his impersonations
of his boss were
caught on
security
cameras. After
being fired, Dan
starting doing
stand up and has
performed at
Gotham
Comedy Club,
Comic Strip
Live, Stand Up
New York and New
York Comedy
Club. He also
has written for
stars, one is a
web-series about
an
overconfident yet
brainless Wall
Street trader
called "Bert the
Broker" with
over a million
views. Well the
guests very much
enjoyed his
comedy, and it
was a good
break.
We also
had our ART
EXHIBITION BY:
MICHAEL INDORATO,
the
Guests who won
his
original drawings
were so very
happy to
received these
great originals
and pastels.
Michael’s art is
collected by so
many important
collectors.
He is
preparing for
several
exhibitions
nationwide, and
next year plans
are for
overseas.
Artist Michael
Indorato, a
gifted artist
and inventor and
he is a
self-taught
painter with a
real zeal for
harnessing his
inner emotional
states in order
to create
incredible,
deeply personal
works of art. He
became aware of
his ability to
create beautiful
art at an early
age and has been
actively
pursuing his
life's vision of
being a world
famous artist.
Michael’s body
of work is
enormous and is
currently
featured in
private
collections
around the
world. You will
often find him
showing at big
New York City
Art Venues
such as Art Expo
NYC and the
Contemporary Art
Fairs, both
as a painter
and a performing
artist. Indorato
has created a
flying painting
contraption

getting him
attention in New
York City and
beyond. To see
