Girl on the Town – Picky and Pushy

23 Jun

The Virginia Robinson Garden's Annual Tour is one of my very favorite springtime events. On this day, chic women decked out in sunglasses, pearls, garden hats and flats, and men sporting that bare ankled "I just stepped off my yacht look" delight in being Looky Loos of the highest order! The tour is a highlight of the Beverly Hills Spring social season and offers a rare opportunity to step behind the gates of some of Beverly Hills most gorgeous estates. This...

Picky and Pushy have been happily married for a very long time! Forty seven years! People ask us what the secret is to our happy marriage. Well, we have lots of them, like listening to each other and listening to Cole Porter love songs. As Cole would say, and we would agree,"Birds do it, bees do it, even chic Malteses ( a little poetic license) at the Ritz do it, Let's do it! Let's fall in love!" But another secret is...

by Cindy Canzoneri

Girl on the Town

On Wednesday morning my horoscope encouraged me to simply enjoy life's little perks. And just like that, presto sesame, up popped a fabulous perk when Chanel hosted a super glam party at the Chateau Marmont showcasing the Chanel Cuba Resort Collection. It was hot weather for October in LA at 84 degrees at night! But it was perfect for the theme. Exotic palm trees, a Cuban band around the pool, mojitos, champagne, and Cuban croquettes created an escape to Havana...

The black and blue gradient painting is by Ruth Pastine. Her exhibition," Ethereal Material", explores the viewer's perception, color theory and...
