A Second Helping of Life

Mario Batali and Daphne Rubin-Vega

As I walk down Law and Order Way (named for the television show filmed there) to the Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers, I think to myself exactly how many glasses of wine I will allow myself to imbibe at this event – an important event entitled “A Second Helping of Life” benefiting SHARE – an organization dedicated to self-help for women with Breast and Ovarian Cancer. I’m pretty sure my grandmother is a survivor of both breast and ovarian cancer, but she is very quiet about the ovarian cancer so I’m not 100% sure. I know she did survive breast cancer, however, and I know how serious an issue it is. Which is why, even though the event consisted of the Top Chefs and Top Wine Companies in New York City dedicating their time to tantalize our tastebuds, I knew I needed to keep it as simple and sober as possible – while still having fun.

Newsweek

For all of us struggling young chickadees who have ever gotten down on ourselves, it may come as some surprise that Meredith Vieira was once told that she didn’t “have what it takes.” I found out this tidbit from Today’s newest “It” Lady at Newsweek’s second annual Women & Leadership Conference this past Tuesday. Vieira patted my shoulder as she told me, in the way that only a super-successful person can, to be true to myself day after day and not to give up on “the things that make you you.” Noted, Ms. Vieira. Noted indeed.

SOHO Hotties

323

Last night I was forced, against my will, to join my good friend, Halle, to what she pitched to me was a ‘networking event’ downtown. As level headed as I am I could not possibly pass up an opportunity to network with a new crowd. The scene was to take place as Soho 323 just across from the Soho Grand, and for the occasion I put on my downtown business trendy attire.
