Ben & La Rana

Felicia found a frog in the pool.

Ben agreed to hold it for a photo op.

Hello little frog!

Our landscape people call them ranas.

Mr. La Rana liked his tummy rub.

I love frogs.

We put him back by the pond.

He jumped back in.

And swam far away.
Till tomorrow,
Love, Maia

Dinner with Michael & Takashi at DBGB

I was in the taxi on my way to the hotel.

We were having dinner that night with Michael and Takashi.

Felicia told everyone to go to DB Bistro Moderne.

But what she really meant was DBGB. She doesn't know what GB stands for.

One is in Midtown. The other one is in Times Square. But everyone looked at their text messages just in time and changed course!
Till tomorrow,
Love, Maia

Gucci Party Supporting FFAWN

Another lovely day in New York City.

We walked by Louis Vuitton on our way to the party given by Gucci and Mary J. Blige benefiting the Foundation For the Advancement of Women Now.

India loved this outfit.

Once we made it by security...

..and were let into the Gucci store...

...we were greeted by the lovely Roya, with Michael. Donald Trump, the store's landlord, walked by and greeted us with a friendly "Hello" as we took this photo. Other guests were Mary J. Blige, Russell Simmons, Serena Williams, Toni Braxton and LeBron James.
Michael's suit caught the attention of James Andrew, (center), author of the blog, What Is James Wearing? Great blog! Check it out. On right, Scott McBee, great artist! He also has a website, click here.

Then another young guest caught Michael's attention.

We all thought she looked great!
Till tomorrow,

Fendi Fashion Show

It was an overcast day as we walked down 57th and toward Fifth Avenue.

The scaffolding in front of the Fendi store was finally taken down and everyone could see the great window displays.

Our Miss Brooke is a great fan of the leather bustier on the left mannequin.

We said hello to Ready to Wear Manager Mirella (left), and Leather Buyer Mandi, next to Takashi.

And we took a photo for Brooke of the red hood dress that she loves so well.

I wanted to say hi to Melanie also. I hadn't seen her since the Hamptons Classic a couple weeks ago.

Later that week we went to a Fendi fashion show at the Four Season Ty Bar.

It was followed by an after-party at the Fendi store.

Felicia (with Takashi) loved the blue Fendi purse.

Maia loved it even more. (Photo by Takashi.)

Beautiful eastern European Kristina tried on a chinchilla coat. Her seven-year-old daughter Stacey offered to teach Michael Russian when we met them at the Hamptons Classic a couple weeks ago!
