Merry Christmas and Season’s Greetings from all of us at DesperateExes.com, and what a year it has been. Rich celebrities losing their fortunes, silly celebs losing what little brain matter they may have had, and male icons not understanding how fragile their images are, and of course all of those who have made a living off of all this mishigas! Mishigas is becoming my word of choice for much of what divorce is all about and it is also a word that I can associate with another word: costly. The more crazy things become for the wealthy, the more the cost of fixing it.

Well, gone are the little jelly candies that we gave out for more than ten years, the company who made them for us was sold. …After trying numerous ideas we found it! Bella Viva Orchards, this is a family owned and run farm in Denair, located in the Central Valley of California. …all of those who are close to Nazarian and Associates will now be getting… …I and many of you will miss the wonderful jelly candies, but, like my hairline, they are gone.

My good friend Cary Goldstein and I almost ate an entire box of Bella Viva …with a nice chilled bottle of Cristal. That is one of my favorite champagnes. We were relaxing and laughing about some of the events that plague us in our chosen professions…get me another drink.

Talking about hanging out, drove up to Bob and Joan Cohen’s home the other night …The Cohens have an amazing home that overlooks the entire Los Angeles basin. It was late and it was one of those moments when the stars are in alignment… … we were enjoying the evening sipping a great port and sitting by the pool. How did I know it was a great port? I bought it as a gift for Bob a few years before, nothing better than a great port. And Bob, that is one of the most gorgeous Jaguar sports cars that I have seen, drive it in good health.

Just as the seasons change and summer leaves and fall begins and as we prepare for the Thanksgiving Day holiday Chickie’s Bail Bonds throws one hell of a “High Brow” Gala. She does this every year. Chickie Leventhal, Mitch and Karen throw this party every year with a different theme and it has to cost a king’s ransom. This was a big one as it was her 25th year in the bail business.

The dinner is held at one of the best restaurants in Southern California, Melisse, with chef Josiah Citrin at the stove… …Melisse is a two Michelin Star award-winning contemporary French …did I not say that Chickie is always first class?

So how do you get the invite? Well for us it is simple, DesperateExes.com only supports one bail agency and that is Chickie’s Bail. The reason for us is simple, we are a class act and so are Chickie and her agents… …Now most of the other guests are criminal defense lawyers… …I have attended this event for years and have never spoken to many of the “criminal defense” lawyers… …I “read” people, and when you tell them what you charge per hour I can see… …I could care less as to working with only certain lawyers, as my good friend, Robert M. Cohen, lawyer always tells me, “John, you cannot work for everyone.” Now the guys I do work with in the criminal defense community, such as Adam Braun, Barry Tarlow, Eric Safire, Jeff Sklan and Harland Braun, these guys are the very top shelf of Criminal Defense lawyers…..and once again they are the only group that we at DesperateExes.com will ever refer our clients to.

Well, back to the party, it is always a pleasure to deal with Chickie or Karen or Mitch when they call as it just does not get any better with these good people. And if ever you need a bail agent remember these people please… …they are people of their word and will be there to help.

PS: Just do not leave any valuables in your car when you valet at Melisse. I had something stolen from my car (I looked at it as I was getting out and told the valet to be sure to lock the car, and when I came out I looked again and it was gone). For sure I threw a fit outside before leaving…the manager aka Matthew Greenberg aka Da Maitre D’ told me, “they don’t work for us, “ then gave me his card and told me to call the next day….no Matthew I am not calling, I have a much better idea, you have THIEVES working as “valets,” as do many establishments who want to sell the responsibility of taking care of where you park when you visit a Two Star Michelin-rated eatery…..at Pink’s I park my own car and never in over 30 years have I lost a pencil!
