I love New York, but I’m spending my holiday in warm and sunny St. Bart’s. And, I’m not alone. Ryan Gosling is here and so is Russell Simmons and Jon Bon Jovi. No, we’re not traveling together but I’ve seen the paparazzi hard at work.
Before heading out, I was at the Dubin Breast Center Benefit at the Mandarin Oriental. Michael J. Fox was there, Paula Zahn, John McEnroe, and we were treated to a performance by the lovely young singer, Caroline Jones. It was a wonderful night of music, great people and delicious food. The center raised over $1.5 million and the money couldn’t have gone to a better cause.
I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday and here’s to a stylish new year!
