Candace Bushnell at Mia Matthews' Bling Thing

Candace Bushnell at Bling Thing

Nearly 270 women attended Tuesday’s It’s A Bling Thing luncheon at Mar-a-Lago, where titillating keynote speaker Candace Bushnell talked about orgasms.

I guess she can. After all, she wrote Sex and the City.

The $300-per Palm Beach shindig was to benefit KidSanctuary.

The ladies did learn something about Bushnell: She apparently isn’t sure whether she’s ever had an orgasm!

As for how organizers paid Bushnell’s $15,000-plus speaker’s fee, I’m told they booked her when the economy was still somewhat decent.

    You need to spend money before you make money- You need an attraction to get people to attend. Surely this was not your first time at the rodeo.

    So, the audience never learned if Candace ever had an orgasm? What a let-down. When I hear those grunts and moans from my lady, then I know what that is. Maybe Candace is too prissy to let us know.

    As smooth as the event went I could notice the hard work that Mia Matthews and the rest of the committee put into it. Great Job!

    The speech by Candice was absolutely touching at least for me. The food and the whole event was very organized and well done not to mention that at the end its for a good cause.

    I thought she was going to talk about her new book with that gyno to the stars Dr Rand Pink.I heard he writes comdey and is a filmaker now but a literary friend told me this is Sex And The City through the eyes of a gynecologist in the 80′5.
