Confessions from the Velvet Ropes

» Celebrities

Journalist Glenn Belverio collaborated with Thomas Onorato to turn the doorman’s career highlights (and low points) into a series of highly-readable, hilarious and outrageous tales from both sides of the velvet ropes. Eight pages of color photos illustrate scenes from exclusive parties and fashion shows.

From the time Paris Hilton’s sister, Nicky, was crowd-surfed at a chaotic Kimora Lee Simmons fashion show to the night Adrien Brody’s birthday party was bombarded with eggs by irate neighbors to Courtney Love’s surprise concert that ended in her arrest — “Confessions from the Velvet Ropes” is an unbridled ride through the worlds of clubs, fashion and celebrity.

Other famous names that have passed through Onorato’s ropes and made it into the pages of “Confessions” include Madonna, Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance, Hilary Duff, Diddy, Brandon Flowers of The Killers, Carlos D. of Interpol, Debbie Harry, and Jarvis Cocker of Pulp.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Confessions from the Velvet Ropes. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
