Today is my Hubby Kurt’s birthday and we are doing what he likes to do, something quiet and small, that is the Cancer in him….Me however IT’S MY BIRTHDAY AND I’LL PARTY IF I WANT TO…..I just love birthday’s and typically I am the one who plans all birthday celebrations for my friends…I personally feel that You are deserving to celebrate your 1 special day of the year …the day you were born…..
My goal always is to promote year-round businesses because after the hoopla of the summer months….the crowd dies down and many businesses struggle to stay in business. Then the cycle begins gearing up to be ready again for Memorial Day weekend. Some survive and many do not….lets hope that BeachHouse will make it…..

This year the restaurant selected was “Beachhouse” in East Hampton…This restaurant was chosen for many reasons: SPACIOUS*LOCATION*GOOD FOOD*ATMOSPHERE*FUN

This is a fun place….the acoustics are not overwhelming, they have a DJ in the evening and this place is just great fun….

khl_9582 — Michael Wudyka & Sons, Fran Drescher

Fun Day with Fran Drescher in the Hamptons….Wow what can I say it was pretty darn cool to meet Fran Drescher. I have been a fan of the Nanny and have seen every episode but recently my 11 year old has become a Fan and I find myself watching the Nanny all over again…It is just as funny today as it was many years ago. I was excited when I was asked by my good friend Michael Wuydka owner of both the Enclave Inn Hotels in the Hamptons and the East Hampton Studio to come and interview Fran to talk about her foundation Cancer Schmancer. The one person I could think to bring with me was Allura because I knew what a huge fan she is of the Nanny, and Kurt even decided to come on his day off to take photos for me.

The event was filled with games, slides, kinect for the xbox, food, live music and much, much more….Luann and Alex from the NY housewives showed up, Simon was there as well to my disappointment without the blue leather pants…Fran was an hour late and the media was getting alittle restless waiting for her to arrive … Just then her car rolls in and out comes Fran in a beautiful White jacket, blue jeans, black Hair flowing and her signature voice saying I am so sorry I am late. She immediately gets busy, she wasted no time….She posed for her photo with anyone that wanted to take pictures with her…including yours truly and the new generation fan. She was very warm and just so patient…see more photo’s at

I have to tell you that I really thought her Nanny voice was all acting, so you can imagine my surprise when I realized that it was not an act. I was alittle disappointed that I did not get an opportunity to have a one-to-one interview with her to talk about the Nanny, her new show Happily Divorced, working with her ex-husband ,her beloved Foundation Cancer Schmancer and her new focus; early awareness for children and teens… However I was able to get a small video where she is so open about her own fight with cancer and just how important it is to reach out to women to inform them about early detection and the importance of having yearly doctor visits to the gynecologist and knowing your own body. The Cancer Schmancer Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that all women with cancer are diagnosed with cancer during Stage 1, when it is most curable, through education, prevention, early detection and policy change. Take a look at this video…

Cancer Schmancer has launched their Van line in both NY and California to spread awareness and early detection…Thank you Fran for bringing awareness and reaching out to women who might not seek medical attention due to no health insurance. Thank you Michael Wudyka for partnering with Cancer Schmancer to address healthy eating for our young people and giving them a place to have fun and eat healthy. Congratulations on being Father of the Year…

I end with this video of Leah Laurenti past IDOL contestant who sang at the Family Fun day and I just loved her…She has such a soulful sound….take a listen and judge for yourself.

till next time….
