Ooh la la La Strada!


The waitresses of La Strada Restaurant (on Second Street) agreed to display some of their (ahem) hidden talents and posed for a 1940s-style pinup calendar to raise money for pancreatic cancer research. A long-time customer of the restaurant died of pancreatic cancer at age 55 about a year ago, and owner Lisa Ramelow organized the production of the calendar. If the calendar is half as much campy fun as the YouTube video of the photo shoot, it should be a big seller at the Belmont Shore Car Show on September 13. Part of the proceeds will go to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, which funds research as well as supporting victims of the disease and providing community outreach.
