NYC Booms By Tina Barry
J
ayneoni Moore, the fashion diva and catalyst behind the “Boom Boom Room,” hosted her first New York City event, with the theme: “New York Hollywood Baby Shower.” Spotted amongst the crowd was father of three, “The Sopranos’” Robert Funaro; “SNL” alum Molly Shannon; Constance Zimmer of “Entourage” whose boyfriend, commercial director Russ Lamoureaux, carried their infant Colette Zoe in a sling. Plus-size model Emme worked the room; soon-to-be glamorous grandmother “Housewives of New York’s” Jill Zarin, shopped for her stepdaughter who was giving birth that day; and “Law & Order’s” Milena Govich was gathering goods for nieces and nephews. Sponsors such as, Regal Lager, L’ovedbaby, Jenerations Baby, Zooni Hats, Karen Neuburger, Girlie Gear, Bratt Décor, The Shower Hug, Paper Shouts, Chic Tots, Elodie Details, Trace Designs, and Vintage Kids, were on hand to greet the talent, and ensure that each guest left fully-loaded.
