What, Kate Moss's dad works in travel?
July 4, 2008
TW features reporter Janine Kelso was at the USA ball last night . . .
Travel Weekly was a guest at last night's annual USA ball, a glittering event held at The Dorchester on Park Lane.
A thank you speech was made before dinner by Peter Moss, director of sales Europe and Asia for Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau.
TW was reliably informed that Peter Moss, an important travel industry figure, was none other than supermodel Kate Moss' dad.
Other highlights of the night included a jazz band, a team of American football players and a girlband who belted out classics such as Chaka Khan's Ain't Nobody to get everyone shaking their booty.
Fort Lauderdale's charismatic Alfredo Gonzalez said he reckoned he was the only visitor from the States at last year's bash. But he definitely wasn't the only yank this year with several Americans making it across the pond for the event, including Jesse Davis from Las Vegas, who brought a touch of neon with him in the form of flashing Vegas badges for everyone to wear.
