A Kiss From A Broad

Dear Il Chiostro Alumni and Friends,

Never a dull moment with us - what an exciting week we have planned here in New York! Since the title of this year's art exhibit in Soho is Sensual Italy! we have an underwear fashion show as part of our Cabaret on Display to benefit Broadway Cares. (The underwear will be modeled by the NY gay men's swim team.) Linda's new show is titled A Kiss From A Broad (do you catch a theme here?)

Come join us for these March events.

A presto,

Linda and Michael

P.S. You can keep track of all of our activities by periodically visiting our Community Page.
