Christie Hefner with author Barbara Bonfigli.
CHRISTIE HEFNER'S BOOK PARTY
Barbara is a delight with a bright twinkle in her eye that tells you this is a woman living her dreams and marching to her own drumbeat. She read a couple of chapters from her book which sent guests rushing to purchase one for themselves...
I also learned at the party that Christie is a talk show host waiting to happen! She deftly introduced Barbara and led the audience in a brilliant Q & A. that was spellbinding. It was great to see Christie's mom Milly there too. I haven't seen her in 20 years since the Playboy days and she looks EXACTLY the same.
Other lucky guests included Bill Zwecker, Tom Gorman, Marisa and Dimitri Alexander (who are having a baby girl soon), Dori Wilson, Joy Germont, Barbara Kipper, Andrea Dres (who is with the Oprah Winfrey Show and was one of the 1500 lucky employees who recently got to take her family on the ocean liner cruise with Oprah and Gail), Katherine Smith, George Bliss, Maria Pappas, Susanna Negovan, Brenda Sexton, Leslie Hindman, Mary Lou Gorno and many others. Thanks for a wonderful evening Christie!

FYI in the last picture, Susan Negovan's friend is Terry Poulos of The Greek Star. I believe he is also President of the Greek Media Club.
Love your new blog here at Kurman!
