ONE OF MY FAVE NYC MOMENTS

I HUNG WITH VIRGINIA GRAHAM!



We met at a party for an advertising company in the 80's and she adopted me for the evening to fetch appetizers for her. She wore red Adolfo but filled it out a lot better than Nancy Reagan's. Why was she there? She had an idea for a commercial for roach motels. The camera would zoom in o her dancing wildly to some swinging music and she'd say "Hey! Did you hear that roaches are IN?" (She holds up the roach motel and says "They're in HERE!"

A FANTASTIC COMMENT FROM FACEBOOK: "That's amazing, but would have been even better if she had pointed to her vagina while delivering the punch line."

A fantastic lady full of pizzazz! One of my fav ever NYC moments even though Lypsinka had to explain who she was afterwards when I got home. We didn't have cellphones in them days.
