deeply ensconced in conversation with the photographer Ben Watts (who has a well known sister named Naomi) and the subjects of his shoot for Victoria’s Secret — my new best friends. For some of Mr. Watts work in the current Sport’s Illustrated Swimsuit issue click here

Having a late night conversation round the fire pit with members of the Funeral Directors of America convention –I KID YOU NOT — (the new trends are life videos — like the bar/bat mitzvah video) and party favors — or Keepsakes — take aways from the funeral or memorial service, being a pamphlet with favorite quotations or poems, DVD or mix tape.

Enjoying all that Soak City has to offer in water slides

Go-Karting at Boomer’s

the excellent and quite decadent breakfasts at Norma’s (at the Parker)

The steaks at Fleming’s
