Editor: Black Tie International Magazine

We're Cookin' Up Summer Fun in the Big Apple
 
     Here is the recipe for a great summer party: gather together lots of successful, urban professional, sprinkle in some big name personalities, add great music and song, stir in some high powered movie moguls, and add a drizzle of designers and models.  
And, the recipe was delicious - we had so much fun at our June event.  
 
This special summer blast was held at the Trump Tower International World Bar, near the United Nations. Elite Professional Networking Group (EPN) along with Black Tie International Magazine, Giorgio G Cognac (a product of world famous fashion designer Giorgio Gucci), Emperors Vodka and
 AR-1 Supercar hosted the event.
 
We didn’t have an A-list of personalities this time.  No, had an A++  list of high powered professionals.  We were joined by our good friends Marc Segelnick, a partner at Central Securities of America, Jim Swiger,  the Managing Director for Enviroglobal Solutions, David Alan Kogut of Principal Northern Venture Group, Lawrence Blascovich, Group Director-Senior Vice President of Signature Bank, Steven Engelson, Regional Sales Director of Wings Jets (a private jet company) and the always charming Kenneth Flornes, Director of Marketing at The Suites Silver Towers.  (Yes, that is the building owned by the famous billionaire Larry Silverstien.) It was nice to see Kenneth back again.  His schedule pulls him in many directions -we’re glad it brought
 him to our event. 
 
And of course, our regular guests were at our June event ‘cooking up some fun’- actor/director Bill Landis of T2 Production, celebrity architect Stephen Valentines of Stephen Valentine Architect, actor and producer Graig Weich.  Wilfried Ramm from Germany of Depfa Bank was in the party mix.  Also on hand were Kalin Kassabov (Bulgaria) founder and chief executive of  Protexting. Joining the crowd was Miquel Jeronimo, a diplomat from Portugal, and owner of Alfama and his partner
Tarcisio Costa, a Portuguese restaurant on midtown’s east side. 
 Try Alfama for a taste of authentic Old World food!    
 
Our guests from the diplomatic community were Outi Sundstrom and Anna Majakulma from the office of the Ambassador of Finland, and Lasse Teeriaho from the office of the Consul General of Finland.
 
Our military veteran honoree for the event was US ARMY E-4 Viktoriya Mikhelson,  who served in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2010 to 2011 in Operation Iraqi Freedom/New Dawn.  Everyone was surprised how young Viktoriya looked.  Dressed in a stunning cocktail dress, Viktoriya didn’t look like a seasoned military professional, but looked like a young co-ed out on the town!
 
Let’ always keep in mind that thousands and thousands of our service men and women make tremendous sacrifices to protect our freedom. We are fortunate to have so many highly skilled and unselfish individuals willing to stand in harms way so we can enjoy the richness of life in our country. As in the past, we invite veterans to our celebrations in order to say “thank you.”  A special thanks goes out to Tony Ntnelas of the Wounded Warrior Projects for helping to coordinating this portion of the evening.
 
Our singer entertainment for the evening was Esnavi, and in the guitar was Michel Kunz. Esnavi is a  singer/songwriter with a voice of undeniable soul and spirit. As a creative artist, Esnavi’s goal is to enliven and enlighten the world through her special blend of music and lyrics. The release of her debut album titled Exit E, has begun the process of bringing her unique message to the world. Her first hit single, Unexpected Love, reached the top 40 on the Urban Adult Contemporary Chart and remained there for over ten weeks. The video for the single is on rotation on VH1 Soul, Centric TV, and Music Choice.
 
Esnavi’s talent and charm wowed the crowd, and, at the end of her performance,  she had a hard time keeping up with the requests for her new CD.  Esnavi is represented by YAIndieGroundhouse. Let us know if you want Esnavi to sing in your next special event, or purchase her CD's.
 
One of our evening’s sponsors was Juliann Giurleo Agy Sioud, a skin care specialist and she was accompanied by Thomas Markowski.  Whether it's in front of the camera, a special evening out, or just day-to-day, Juliann can show anyone how to look their very best. Through her talent as a clinical esthetician, professional makeup artist and permanent makeup artist, Juliann has been able to develop a refined and easy to follow technique to guide anyone on a path to looking their best.  Our guests were so excited after Juliann applied her special anti-aging product on their hands. They commented that the cream makes their hands feel so smooth and wonderful. Make sure to try her unique products and services.
 
Nick Alessi , designer and master builder of the AR-1 Supercar was in attendance.  The AR-1 Supercar is a limited production vehicle made in the U.S.A. that blends art, automotive technology, and high-speed performance in one unique package. As a cutting edge designer, Nick is always greeted by admiring groups of auto enthusiasts, artists and budding entrepreneurs.  His latest creation – the AR-1 Supercar is getting lots and lots of publicity.  The car is a “must have” for many video and movie directors looking to create a super-unique screen scene.  And, some of our lucky guests received the all-new AR-1 Supercar promotional shirt.  This attractive, colorful shirt sports the AR-1 logo and is the perfect item to wear to car shows and sporting events.
 At our next event we may be offering them again as door prizes!
 
One of our two birthday celebrants for June was Dr. Thomas Mallios, a leader in the medical industry, and a member of Elite Professional Networking Group.  Also “birthdaying it” was our German guest Peter Plaschka, managing director of Moving-Pictures, a German company with offices in New York City and Germany.  As always at our parties, everyone joined in for a chorus of Happy Birthday. 
And birthday cake, …ummm good!
 
We want to thank again Kenneth McClure, the general manager of the Trump Tower International World Bar. Mr. McClure and his staff did another outstanding job for us and we say “Well Done.” Ken is a very busy professional - he is also the vice-president of Hospitality Holdings, a company that operates eight different lounges and restaurants, including The Empire Room at the Empire State Building.  The Empire Room is “the place” for afternoon cocktails and a wonderful site for your next special event.  We are very appreciative of the time Ken gives to us at each event!
 
 
We also had many lovely ladies guests: Natasha Dashkova VP Executive Recruiter at J.P. Morgan, Yaya Rey CEO and President of YAIndieGroundHouse, Daphne Hanna Director of Sales Holiday Inn Express Fifth Avenue, Sarah Moscardini of Associate of the Appraisers Association of America, Grace Reeves, and Jennifer P. Munoz of Linklaters LLP, Attorney Barbara L. Macina of Macina & Pietrzak LLC, Attorney Irene L. Dachtera of JS Barkats PLLC,  Nancy Duffy of Nancy Duffy Public Relations & Extreme Luxury Concierge, Alma Jones and Sejva Hoxha of Protexting, Katrina Pasciutti of The Suites Silver Towers, Nicole Holt of Stephanie Odegard Collection, Grace M. Shimizu of AXA Advisors, Krystyna Chmielewska of BIioptron, Claudia Evart president and founder  Siblings Day Foundation,  Joanne Papas Sales and Marketing Director of Edgewater Pictures.
 
Additional guests were George G. Janis, CEO of Cromor Stable, Qi Fei-Long Grand Master/Eastern Medicine Doctor, Anthony Baglio Relationship Manager DTCC, David Simons, promotional manager of Zoonauts & Company, Steven Ramos of Global Enterprise Solutions Manager  RELIANCE Globalcom, Ilya Zlobin of The Global Information Network,  Myron Johnson, Director of Business  and Talent Development at YAIndieGroundHouse, Elray Hobbs,  its-YOUR-INTERNET, military veteran Jose Sanchez of El Barrio Boxing, Taraje Williams-Murray of Morgan Stanley SmithBarney, Adolf Zuniga of DGA Security Systems, Inc.,  James Kogut,  finance expert, Olivier Niamen and many many more. Sorry for any names we missed.
 
I would like to thank all our guests for attending the June event.  A special shout out to our regulars – you’re great! And thanks to our sponsors – you make the events happen! 
 
I want to thank once again Gerard Mckeon,  publisher of Black Tie International Magazine, Herbert Mones, Dr, Thomas Mallios, Husain Ansar, Yaya Rey  and Myron Johnson of YAIndieGround House for providing the entertainment, Barry Brown of Barry Brown Media,  and Jun Pasiculan.  Thank you for all your help.
