Throw me a toy! Pretty please! I wanna run after it! I can RUN!!!!!!
Goody goody goody goody goody!!! No more cage!
Chew chew chew chew chew!
Rip it up! Get it! Kill it! Yayyyyyyyy!!!! Freedom!
I'm so 'appy!!!! 'appy 'appy 'appy!!!! Freedom at LAST!!!!
This is my first Christmas at Twin Oaks, and Dolce's first Christmas, period!
We hung our stockings on the chimney. Felicia normally doesn't go for poinsettias but something about them seemed different this year, so for the first time in a long time, we have poinsettias.
"I'm just sitting by the fire watching everyone put up decorations. When did you say I get this plastic thing off my neck?"
India cut some branches from one of our evergreens and put some ornaments in a vase. Nice!
Our favorite cards line the China cabinet...
...and we dressed up the Sacha dogs by the front door.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Last memories of the Icon party: the best cigars ever...
...and, good mother that Felicia is, she lets India try a puff...
...which India immediately took to...
And finally, party's over! Andres picked us all up (I'm getting camera-shy), and we went back to our hotel and crashed! It was a great night with great memories and we can't wait til Art Basel 2009 and I can't wait until the next time I see my old friend Andres once again! Zara saw the photos and said, "I didn't know it was going to be that much fun! Next year I want to go!" I agree! So, next year, I wanna go too--inside Felicia's purse!
Brooke and India have a chocolate moment...(lollipops were planted in the grass!)
Brooke in front of the Icon Brickell's amazing spa...
Waiting for us to take a dip in the spa pool when the party's over...
I hope Felicia brings me back here again...I wanna live here!
Well at least Felicia let me out of that cage. When did the vet say I could run around again and get this thing off my neck?
At least I can play with Maia and Sacha!
Tuesday did you say? This Tuesday? And I get my (Selleria) stitches off my leg too?
(*Sigh*) Where are you going now?
Okay. Guess I'll find a comfy place to sit.
What are you staring at?
Well, at least it's fun watching India decorate the tree. I guess I'll stay awhile. Did any packages arrive for me from the Fendi store in NYC while I was gone? I ordered a BUNCH of stuff from Takashi. He thought I should have a different purse for every occasion...I like T so much!
The Icon Brickell Towers...the location of the party!
Northwest view...spectacular.
The pool on the 17th floor, where the party was held, in front of which....
Brooke and her newest fiance were dancing! (Just kidding, Christopher!)
We arrive at the 17th floor where we are greeted by a lovely gentleman rolling cigars. He cheerfully agrees to be lensed.
Felicia is amazed how smooth this cigar is and tries to forget the last time she smoked a cigar, or two, or possibly, more, she doesn't remember, really, on Eleuthera the year before. She couldn't move or speak for three days after. I was there and I remember! Fortunately, this cigar proved that quality counts, as does the company one keeps...
This is the lovely Philippe Starck-designed 40,000 square foot spa, a few floors away, overlooking the Bay.
India doesn't usually go to parties like this, all-about-the-books, nose-to-the-grindstone college student that she is. She enjoyed the views of Biscayne Bay, the ocean, and the Miami Skyline (below).
The view to the west was breathtaking. In fact, all the views were breathtaking.
Our hostess Sandra's husband Peter lights the candles...
...and we catch our breaths and enjoy the lovely time with lovely friends.
