Loser Son-in-law, February 27, 2012
Stella’s punk husband raided their checking account. I know my baby’s upset–she showed up for Sunday dinner dejected as hell. Of course, she’s protecting the rat and didn’t confide in me, but Angie got the truth out of her. Angie’s afraid I’m going to react and do something drastic, and she’s right. I’ve just about had it with this loser abusing my daughter. I ask my wife what Stella’s husband is doing with their money, and she says grimly, “gambling,” and now I’m really pissed. Angie gets alarmed. “Louie,” she says, “you need to remember that Stella loves him.”

Mob Blog: Cristal and Caviar
Mob Blog: Cristal and Caviar, February 1, 2012
Franco calls me to let me know the Russians are back, hanging at my swank South Beach club two nights this past week. The Russians make me a little nervous–I don’t do business with them–but I don’t mind when they patronize my nightclub. They like to do private parties, renting out the upper level lounge. Usually they bring their own chicks, but this last time they asked Franco to “arrange” some dates, and he brought in about a dozen of Fort Lauderdale’s finest. Franco says they put on quite a show, but he was more impressed with the Russians consumption of premium champagne. They have a taste for Dom, but they also go for the Cristal. “Lou,” he says, “it was Cristal and caviar all night long.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]Cristal and Caviar is written in the voice of Patricia Bellomo’s main character, mobster Louie Morelli.

Mob Blog: Topless in Miami
Topless in Miami, December 6, 2011
[dcs_p]I’ve got the Stella in slip at the Miami Marina. Big business in South Beach today, and then it’s play time. Heading to the Bahamas for a little R&R and some blackjack. Victor’s already got his chick on board, and she’s putting on a show. Victor likes them big busted and this one’s stacked. The sun’s barely up, and she’s got her top off. We’re having breakfast on deck, and she’s too excited to sit, prancing back and forth. I see my crew keeps coming out to take a look, and now the lady on deck of the Azimut docked next to the Stella di Mare gets up with a huff and goes inside, slamming her sliding door. Victor says, “Doll, you’ve got to put your top on.”[/dcs_p]She tosses her blond hair. She’s not wearing much on the bottom, and it’s hard not to notice her absence of tan lines. “I thought I could go topless in Miami,” she pouts, and he says, “On the beach, doll. Not on Lou’s yacht–at least not while we’re in slip.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]Topless in Miami was told from the perspective of Patricia Bellomo’s main character, mobster Louie Morelli.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]If you enjoyed this post, please check out Patricia’s books at: www.patriciabellomo.com [/dcs_p][dcs_p]Books available at Amazon, B&N, and on all e-readers.

Stone Crabs and Suicide
Stone Crabs And Suicide, November 3, 2011
[dcs_p]Business meet at the Marriott on Biscayne Bay, and then to Joe’s Stone Crab for lunch. The Stella’s in slip at the Miami Marina, south of the MacArthur, so it’s not out of my way. Victor’s with me, of course. We call up Nathan, and he’s available, and at the last minute Franco joins us. So it’s the four of us in Joe’s dining-room, which is a blend of old Florida and old south. No frills, and the best stone crabs in South Florida.[/dcs_p] Nathan’s relaxed today, casually mentions a recent trip to New York. Victor and I exchange glances, and I can tell we’re on the same wavelength because a French diplomat assigned to the UN hung himself in his penthouse apartment. Not to be crass, but staged suicide is Nathan’s specialty. This diplomat’s death has been all over the news—one of those things. I casually mention this, and Nathan gives me a look, and now I know.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]Stone Crabs and Suicide was written in the POV of Patricia Bellomo’s main character, mobster Louie Morelli. If you enjoyed this anecdote, you may wish to consider buying one of her books. [/dcs_p][dcs_p]Available on Amazon.com and on all e-readers.

Working Girls
Working Girls, September 9, 2011
[dcs_p]Franco had a swank party last night–supposedly in honor of some pop-star who’s doing the diva round, but I never heard of the girl, and I wasn’t impressed when I met her. Victor thought she looked anorexic, but then, most of these girls do. Anyway, Franco had top-notch entertainment, and we ordered some Dom, sitting upstairs in the VIP suite when a couple of working girls showed. They were lovely Eastern European girls with bad English and beautiful bodies. Stood-up by their dates, they wanted to hang with my group–although none of my guys were buying.[/dcs_p]Victor has a soft spot for these third world hustlers, and he got them drunk on Dom while listening to their life stories. They wanted to give him a private party, but he refused. He says they’re too young and pretty, and they shouldn’t be selling their bodies. I heard him say he’s going to help one of them get an extended VISA and a regular job, but I think that’s the champagne talking. At least, I hope it is. Victor’s getting too sentimental.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]Working Girls was written in the voice of Patricia Bellomo’s main character, mobster Louie Morelli.
