Former child actress, and entertainment reporter Zoe was fed up with never being able to accept all the lunch invitations she received from press-hungry publicists. Then she had an idea. She accepted five invitations to lunch, all on the same day, all at the same restaurant, and — wouldn’t you know it — at the same table. “I decided to consolidate,” says the multitasking marvel. She told her five dining companions about her plan. They agreed it was genius. By the time Zoe returned to her office, her e-mail box overflowed with messages, women wanting in on the lunch gang, and voila Divas Who Dine was born!
We sat in on a recent New York Divas luncheon which begins with intros and a round-robin business card swap. Most of DWD are in media, fashion or beauty. For an annual fee, they’re guaranteed seats at all lunches and other Diva events (such as a regular poker game). Check out Divas Online www.divaswhodine.com, and read more about Zoe in the Work chapter of A Virgin’s Guide to Everything.
