Indecent proposal

Still recovering from my ear's surgery I proposed, last minute, to Dr Warfel to come with me and my boss for the weekend. We had several meetings on Friday in Miami , but then I had two free days to spend in the fabulous warm sands of South Beach ! The proposal was very "indecent" because Mark supposed to study for a very difficult medical exam . Do you think he said no to a private ride to Miami and two nights at the Delano ?

Surfer's ear

Yesterday I had surgery to my right ear to fix what is called " the sufer's ear " a condition that was compromising my hearing.
Surfer's Ear is the common name for exostosis, abnormal bone growth, within the ear canal.
Over time irritation from cold wind and water cause the bone surrounding the ear canal to develop lumps of new bony growth which constrict the ear canal. The condition is so named due to its prevalence among cold water surfers.
I never surfed in my life ,neither I'm not an avid swimmer ...defenetely I don't have a swimmer body ! So I'm still wondering how I got it ! Anyway now it's fixed after three hours surgery.
I'm home recovering and feeling lovely from Percocet !

Eric and I went to see Madonna's concert at Madison Square Garden in New York. The new tour called "Sticky and Sweet" is touring around the States after a sucessul run in Europe. It was not my favorite , but we can't deny this woman is increbile !The energy of a teenager in a well "preserved" body.



In the VIP hospitality room we met Rosie O'Donald. Puff..we 're lesbians !

Back from Italy

I have been out of touch for few weeks. I was in Milan for business during the Womens Fashion Week. The atmosphere was as exciting and sparkling as always : lots of skinny models, celebrities, parties and that tireless, superficial circus of the fashion industry that moves a lot of money even in this bad economy.
The Giorgio Armani fashion show. Timeless elegance. Mr Armani is so fit and energetic ! God bless the Italian genes. My sister Cate attended the show as well. Of course she was first row!

Roberto Cavalli designed a limited edition (only for the Italian market) of the Diet Coke bottle. In Italy we called it Coca Cola Light. Don't ask me why ! The launch party was at the Just Cavalli Cafe' in Milan with live performances by Ne-Yo and Kelly Rowlands.
After Milan I stopped in Rome for a weekend to see my family and friends. I visited for the first time this amazing museum in the Ostiense area . It's a 1912 old power station that's no longer in service. The architecture of the spaces is industrial and scenographic : a spectacular unusual setting to display roman sculptures from the warehouses of the Capitolini Museums.The contrast between modern and ancient works together perfectly.







My dear friend Carmine came from Naples on a Sunday to see me in Rome. We spent some quality time together chatting about art, literature and boys ...like two old refined ladies.
