Since everything is none other than exactly as it is one may as well just break out in laughter. Long Chen Pa All is Still. February. Indian Snow Moon. Valentine’s Day. In our igloo cocoons, our lives may seem like snow globes, we swim in bubbles of crystalized emotions, new-earnestly patterned seeds, or emerge into [...]


Inspired by the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York City we put together NINE SELF-IMPORTANT SOUNDING CREDOS to consider when creating a brilliant interior.  I am joined by Michelle Barge, my partner with a passion for classic decor, a solid Sotheby’s background, and endless examples of Living The Nnnth Degree Life! and together we suggest the ultimate [...]


Five Favorites Blogging is obsessive, egotistical, infanticidal and Oedipal.  One is ever viligante and immersed, tied to the desk like a naughty lover.  Then one day, you get the Bloggers’ Chain Letter and though faintly like the Plea from your Ugandan Uncle for Cash or the latest heaven-sent Money Angel…with this one you are forced [...]


A bleg = blog + beg — i.e., using a blog to beg for information. Note: I beg here for what inspires YOU…MINIMAL OR MAXIMAL? GIve me silence, a white snowy expanse, an open infinity pool, a Rothko, a clear blue sky and sea and I am full or overstimulate me to the point of [...]

Drala.  A Tibetan concept that translates to Beyond and Above Aggression. Blameless. Connected to the essential and trancendant powers of Nature.  The Purity of Body.

3:43 AM  Another Gala and yet another night he steals away with the perky breasted waitress or this time the blond Russian czarina.  Nothing a little “adjustment” to his favorite ’78 Porsche won’t fix.  Afterwards, the nightcap toast to Dreamland on the Frette and tomorrow there is always The Handsome Hans, the tennis pro…and his [...]

“If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it.” Bhagavad-gita (9.26), Krishna The Shock and Beauty of Flowers begs the question: Which is the offering and Who is the recipient of Such A Moment of Adulation and Beauty?  I have never been able to separate [...]
