Sunday, October 17 from 1—5 p.m. Fringe Benefit
The Tuscan Palace—better than Fringe Sex!
Owners of one of the world’s best fringe homes, “Vince Peranio and Dolores Deluxe host a fantasy Tuscan autumn garden party in their lush courtyard surrounded by the five alley row-houses known as The Palace. Props from Vince’s works as art director for John Waters, Barry Levinson, and David Simon add a piquancy matched only by the lusty cuisine catered by co-host Chef Nancy Longo.” Buffet, festive casual dress, limited to 75 guests, benefits the Creative Alliance. At $60 per person, a bargain, even for cheapo Jimbo.
