We have arrived in L.A. and Venice, CA!!!!

I hope L.A. is ready for us. In Venice we restored a Beach Bungaloo on 1612 Abbot Kinney Blvd. As usual the taxidermy doesn’t disappoint either- we have a gorgeous hybrid zebra/wildebeest in the front. And don’t forget to check out 8383 West 3rd St.

Here are some photos from our opening party…

Kissing the Wildebeest.

Yum!

I was recently given a dinner in my honor at the St. Regis in New York. The dinner was also to celebrate their 21st hotel and their 100th anniversary. The mood was reminiscent of the dinners that Caroline Astor had in the 1920′s and was a “Midnight Supper”. It literally went to midnight. Fortunately, I was able to invite some good friends to celebrate.

Iris’ friend, Iris Apfel, Brooke Shields and me.

Mary Alice Stevenson looking gorgeous. Giving a toast.

Patti Wilson, who I adore. She is one of the hardest working stylists for Italian Vogue (with Brooke Shields).

George Cortina is the head editor of Japanese Vogue and we go back 20 years as friends. He just landed the cover of 10 Magazine nude. Pretty ballsy!
