With today’s temperatures proposed to go into the 80’s (Yes, it’s OCTOBER and I’m in NEW YORK!) I think the boys should head out for a last round of golf, don’t you?
After 18 holes, everyone buys the best guy a drink (or is it the other way around?) and I think this recipe from TheBar […]

This would be something Marilyn Monroe would’ve definitely served at a party… it matches her dress in Gentleman Prefer Blondes! It’s light (thanks to the club soda, but not so light you don’t know you’re drinking), bubbly, and slightly fruity thanks to […]

I can see it now - my thinner, sexier, dangerous dame self - on a terra cotta patio overlooking a giant inground pool. I’m tanned and dewy, wearing a white slinky dress with my long, dark hair cascading over my shoulders. In my hand? The hottest new drink in Miami - The Yellow Tomato Martini. […]
