I Haven’t Forgotten About You!

Sorry to have been out of touch! If you’ve emailed me give me a few more days and I WILL get back to you! You see, I’m in the Hamptons right now Dahling. I flew in to New York on Thursday and spent my first day in Manhattan (always fun) and then on Friday my publicists (Tori and Monica) and I were in the car and off to the Hamptons. The major California cities are no stranger to traffic, in fact LA is renowned for its perpetual gridlock but the traffic from Manhattan to the Hamptons on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend rivals anything LA or San Francisco can produce. Apparently it normally takes a little under 2 hours to get to the Hamptons from New York. It took us well over four hours. But once we got here everything became significantly more relaxed.

My first stop was my hotel. From the outside, The Atlantic Hotel is reminiscent of the no-frills beach motels in Santa Cruz. But then you go into the lobby and you begin to see little signs of luxury. For their guests they have provide baskets overflowing with the most delectable fruit along with Tazo tea and …you guessed it, Starbucks Coffee! You’ve got to love that. As for my room; it’s beautiful. I almost feel like I need to find some guy to take home just so I can show him my place! I can visualize it now, “Yeah, yeah, I think you’re hot too…can you believe how spacious this place is? And what about my cool little settee and these fabulous curtains? Now those are hot!”

We then went to Bamboo, a wonderful Asian Fusion restaurant/bar. The food was a blend of Japanese, Chinese and Thai. These different countries may have severe political and social differences but their cuisine gets along spectacularly well!

After chit chatting with Tori and Monica over cosmos I began to realize what the difference is between New Yorkers and Californians and it is as follows: New Yorkers are sure that there is a big difference between the two groups and are fascinated by it while Californians spend very little time thinking about it nor do they necessarily think that there is much of a difference at all. Monica told me that her sister held a party with a “Northern California theme.” Apparently that means that all the guests were expected to wear flip flops and denim cut offs while sipping soy milk and Coronas. The only time my friends and I wear flip flops is when we are either at the beach (which is not a daily activity) or when we’re getting a pedicure. However I do like soy lattes and Coronas….

Anyway, the next day was my Champaign and Strawberries (and gourmet cookies) book signing at The Open Book in Westhampton. I love, love, love that book store! Terry, the owner, is one of the nicest most genuine people I’ve ever met and it’s clear that her customers feel the same way. If she recommends a book, they listen. Of course the strawberries and Champaign were fabulous and get this; they even had not 1, but 2 Frappuccinos waiting for me when I arrived! Yes, that’s right ladies and gentlemen; they provided me with caffeine, alcohol and sugar all in the space of a one signing event! If they were trying to buy my love they succeeded.

And now my big night is just hours away! That would be my launch party. A bona fide red carpet event with media, socialites and a few celebrities to boot! Shoshanna will be dressing me for the party (as she did for the book signing) and then Shu Uemura will be introducing their new mascara (not yet available in stores) in my gift bag and their top make-up artist will be on hand to apply their fabulous false eyelashes onto the guests in attendance.

There’s also a Red Dress Ink party in Manhattan on Tuesday but I’ll blog about that later. Right now I have to go prep myself for the day’s activities.

Here’s wishing Champaign wishes and caviar dreams to all of you!
