I’m not gonna lie, where Bethenny goes drama follows, and there was a little drama during my shoot. A women came in with the cutest baby, as a seasoned celebrity photographer I can tell you that babies and celebs photos sell better than say men, or men over 50. I take a few shots, I know I have the money shot and I go to leave. Darn I wish I hadn’t lingered cause the PR person comes by and says I can’t publish the baby and the bottle photo. Skinnygirl has a rule that no one under 21 can be near/handle/be photographed with Skinnygirl ie liquor. Dang people, there goes my People cover.

This guy was from McGillin’s and bought a couple bottles. Unfortunately he told her, McGillin’s doesn’t sell her brand.

Each fan got a free make up sample from one of these guys as they exited

I was surprised how inexpensive the wine was, if I wasn’t on my way to 2 other events I would have picked up a signed bottle myself
