Tuesday night at the new lounge, Coco de Ville in the Gansevoort South Beach (www.gansevoortmiamibeach.com), handsome Ralph Lauren (www.ralphlauren.com) model/polo player, Nacho Figueras (www.nachofigueras.com) blessed us with his presence. He was accompanied by his lovely wife, Delfina Blacquier, a former model/socialite from Buenos Aires. The room was packed with babes bending to catch a glimpse of the “Polo Prince”. And where the girls are, the boys follow. I also spotted and chatted with Jeffery Donovan, the star of the USA network show, Burn Notice (www.usanetwork.com/series/burnnotice). I had met him about a month ago at a birthday party at Hakassan in the Fontainbleau (www.fontainebleau.com) and was pleasantly surprised when he remembered my name. I am a fan of his show and think it portrays sexy South Beach with great cinematography! Nacho may be off the menu, but Burn Notice star, Jeffery is single and available girls.
