A Week Of Recovery And Almost Good As New

It became apparent just how much fun I was having in NYC and Montauk last week when I downloaded my pics and realized I had my flash off half the time...

Fortunately, my friends can handle their Savie a smidge better than my lightweight self...

But, the fun we had was very much worth the last several days of detox...

We hung at the Surf Lodge...

We played bikini tops optional Gypset at Cavet's Cove...

Behaved when asked...

But, that never lasted for long...

We had magical sunsets...

Incredible evenings...

And, a perfect crescent moon right on cue. I couldn't have asked for a better time. Unless...

You add bumping into Rafa Nadal at 1am as he's returning to your hotel. See, it pays to endure second hand smoke as your friends have a cig outside. Sooo worth smelling like an ashtray in bed all night...

Kindness of Annie Wannie for hijacking my Merkin clutch and whipping out my camera for the moment cuz I would NOT have had the guts to do it. Now excuse me while I go make my same ressie at the St. Regis for next year. Intel says the second floor's the place to be...XXOO

  9. Your's is the first Blog I read every morning. Came across it in the NYT's article about True Prep and have been a reader ever since. Great design, structure and content. You should write a book...or maybe you have. Living in and loving Maryland. Thanks!

  14. Running into Nadal right before his win!!!?? I assume this was Sunday night. That would have made my year. Love the Calypso top as well, just tried on the beige one in the madison ave store last week. Blue looks great with your tan though :)

  18. Allie Wallie-- I was glad to help you capture our "Nadal Stalking Moment." Actually, I just wanted to test drive your Merkin-- haha. He was a great sport and I loved seeing the smile on your face!

    You never know what will happen when we Hammerhead gals reunite. I laughed until I cried all weekend just like when we were 18. And that's a wonderful thing.

    Here's to the laughs of our past, the ones we share now and all of those on the horizon.

    Love you-- Annie Wannie
