Could you live in a house with no walls?

We arent talking about a loft here, we are talking about a house with no EXTERNAL walls… It’s in Costa Rica and was featured in the NYTimes.

My thoughts: While I love the idea of indoor/outdoor living, I have been to Costa Rica. The bugs there look like they are on steroids. [...]

The importance of being Ernest.

Hemingway, of course. He has been on my mind quite a lot lately.

First, I stumbled into the Hemingway African Art Gallery a few days ago, where I met the owner, who used to be partners with Gregory AKA Gloria Hemingway. (A FASCINATING story.) Gregory’s son still works there sometimes…. and apparently I can meet him [...]

Southwest Indian Traders

Of course I couldnt leave Park City without looking for some goodies to bring home. And of course I would never hold out on you guys. I spent one apres ski afternoon in town walking up and down the quaintest Main St. ever. I stumbled upon Southwest Indian Traders and had to take some pictures.

I'm back...

To sum it up, if you are a skier, Park City is the perfect place to hit for a gorgeous 4 day weekend. Direct flights are available from most major cities, and the ski areas are only 30 minutes from the airport. So we  were able to ski all four days.

I really love the Winter Olympics. When I was a kid, I wanted to be an Olympic figure skater… [...]

Why Bear? Why?

Tonight Man Vs Wild gave us some new episodes. I freakin love Bear Grylls. Really love him. But why did he have to give himself an ENEMA (of putrid bird crap water) on TV? Why? Because apparently, this can save your life one day. Your colon will absorb the water and you dont run the [...]

Miami

Every time I come to Miami, there is a new Hotel De jour that is the only place people are talking about… This year its the new W Hotel. We went there for dinner on Saturday night. The hotel houses the Miami outpost of NYC’s Mr. Chow. The lobby is pretty gorgeous… Super high ceilings [...]

Dreaming of Summer….

Remember when I said I was moving to Ibiza for the summer and none of you guys said anything back? WELL, I was serious.

Most of the homes I am looking at are relatively crappy. But there is one jaw dropper – that you can rent for $10,000 Euros a week!!!! (Just a TAD [...]
