It was indeed a really fun spectacular event. All evening during the cocktail and mingle, the paparazzi approached us with their pen to pad writing our stories and getting our photos. They kept calling us Demi Moore and Bruce Willis and asked us if we were really back together and hopefully would stay together. They told me how much they enjoyed me in the “Charlie’s Angels” movie. It was a real kick! Hats off to the Las Patronas and their creative skills!" - Dianne York-Goldman I thought the ball was a blast.
