Huge thanks to The Beautiful Lillian LoGrasso and Top Community 1 percenter Rick Doucette for co-hosting the pre-Gala fashion red carpet festivities.
Also a monumental thank you to our good friends David Cox, Thom Falzarano and the incredible Kim Smith.
The night was an incredible success mostly in part to Felicia’s fantastic planning and Sherry DeLorenzo and her crew’s excellent execution at Cruiseport.
What I’m most happy about is that my peeps Thom and David and Kim came through in capturing the crowd- our friends and family and that is what makes this blog so special. That we try to make it about community.
Success all the way around due to the best team in the business.
Look for David’s photos soon as well as Kim’s awesome video coverage of the Red Carpet!!!

Thanks to all who made the party the awesomeness that it was, we had so much fun, everything was PERFECT, food, drinks, ambiance, music, crowd, it was just stunning how everything was so amazing, it was just like a wedding!! But then again not surprising with Felicia and her whole crew and family behind her, really got me choked up hearing all of the wonderful stories and seeing a family with that much love and support. Well done!! We’ll be talking about this one for a long time, who’ gonna be the one to one up this one??!! No one!! Except maybe Felicia for her 2nd book launch!!

Felicia what I put on my Facebook yesterday:
:Today in Gloucester as I write there is a rush to get ready, who is doing there hair, getting their red carpet dress the buzz is this is the event of the year..I am in Newport enjoying my time with friends and family even though I would be there in a heart beat, I can’t so I am writing this to Felicia (Sister Felicia) as were all now gotten to know her as. I want friends to know that I couldn’t be proud of her. Not because of the cook book but the dedication behind it, proud of her family( husband, children, mother, brother & sister in law) who had to endure her crazy long nights to get the recipe down perfect to make sure it was done right, which turned out easy to make and taste delightful. I would go over and really razz her oh come on Sista your grandmother didn’t do this we would laugh and joke but really she got every grandmother Sicilian grandmother’s recipe changed them around figured the little bit of this a little bit of that some of this too and made it a recipe for all and then she would make it to today’s reality of spices and ingredients etc. She made a series of cook books to make sure the Sicilian-culture is kept alive, she made it so our children can cook the old recipes of our ancestry. Pretty amazing if you ask me in between she missed parties, and gathering to finalize the book for over a year we all got a little taste and yes Sister Felicia got a lot of teasing (all in good fun) from the Godmother who she calls Padrina, and we had a lot of fun nights getting crazy ingredients from all over, but in the long run she was determined and tonight is her night well deserved she has made the Sicilians of Gloucester proud, and yes her Padrina couldn’t be more proud of her.
Lots of love Felicia the Godmother Sefatia
