Scene @ Melissa Kirsch’s Girl’s Guide Party

Joining Melissa Kirsch (second from left) to celebrate the publication of her Girl’s Guide to Absolutely Everything, which covers “health, work, money, manners, friends, love, family, spirit, home and fashion,” were (at the sides) Alanna Ramirez and Ellen Levine of Trident Media and Janice Taylor , one of the many experts Kirsch consulted while writing the 600-plus-page tome. Taylor should also be familiar to GalleyCat readers as the author of Our Lady of Weight Loss; in fact, she’ll be promoting the book at the Kips Bay Borders tonight, appearing with the “Our Lady of Weight Loss Chorus.” (And she’ll be bringing a batch of angel pineapple cupcakes…only 60 calories each!)
