It’s been a very busy time for parties and celebrations!
Earlier this week, I attended the 25th anniversary celebration of the Magrino Agency, the public relations firm co-founded by my publicist and dear friend, Susan Magrino. Susan and her hard-working team manage a very impressive list of clients. I have worked with Susan and the Magrino Agency since the beginning of my entrepreneurial career. In fact, I have been with them since day one as the agency's longest running client. We’ve had so much fun working together - I certainly appreciate all that they’ve done for me over the years.
Here I am with my longtime publicists and friends, Susan Magrino, and her sister, Allyn Magrino. Susan and Allyn co-founded their New York public relations agency in 1992. (Photo by Patrick McMullan/PMC)
Here I am in the elevator headed up to the 65th floor of Rockefeller Center.
The event was held at the iconic Bar SixtyFive in the famous Rainbow Room restaurant. I captured this quick snapshot before the room filled with guests. There were sweeping views from every window.
There were also lots of delicious bites provided by the Rainbow Room in several locations. (Photo by Patrick McMullan/PMC)
At this station, a delicious variety of cheeses, breads and salamis. (Photo by Cutty McGill)
Martha Stewart Wine Co. provided a wonderful wine selection – a 2015 Marquis de Bacalan Sauvignon Blanc – a sophisticated white with fruity and herbal flavors. http://marthastewartwine.com

Many enjoyed being out on the terrace. The Rainbow Room, which opened in 1934, was the first restaurant to be located in a high-rise building. (Photo by Cutty McGill)
Everyone took many photos to share on social media. (Photo by Cutty McGill)
