After I dropped Angela off at the airport, I made plans to go out with my girlfriends–whom I hadn’t had much time to see–and blow off some steam. In other words, we went to a wine bar in South Beach. The wine bar is called 555Bistro, maybe some of you have been there! It has a great vibe. We sat outside and the weather was beautiful; a little chilly for South Beach, but I was in a thin shirt and jeans–no complaints here! We drank a healthy amount of wine and as the heat lamps outside started to run out of gas, we started to freeze in the 60 degree weather. Whomp whomp whomp. That’s when we decided to head over to a local spot called, “the room.” It’s a cozy little watering hole.

We called it quits at an early morning hour, and I took a cab back home with the girls and a new neighbor I met earlier that day. I convinced my neighbor that I had to see the rooftop Club 50 on top of our building; so many people had boasted about to me, so I had to see what they we’re talking about. We took the elevator up to the 50th floor and I was sucked in immediately by the gorgeous infinity pools and Latin music. We called it a night soon after we arrived and before I shut my eyes, I made sure to put Club 50 on my, “top places to meet hot Latin men,” list. Oh yeh.

If you’re curious, I am including some pictures of my new apartment at the Viceroy, designed by renowned interior designer Kelly Wearstler. I am just so in love with the simplicity and the style. I feel so comfortable here, and I’m happy to call this home–for now!

I’ve been shooting video for you guys on my trip to Miami, and I am working on putting together a, “Model in Miami,” video series. I’m new to editing film, so be patient.

Hope you all are staying warm up north! Ta for now!

Here’s my favorite picture from last weekend. I love spending time with my Grandpa!

I can’t emphasize enough, just how much I love this hotel. The staff always makes a tremendous effort to accommodate their customers. The Ritz Carlton does a fantastic job at exuding the, “home away from home,” feel with every over sized brown leather sofa, every Oriental rug, and every homely amenity that they offer.

And, if you can get access to the Club lounge, you’re in luck! The lounge is usually on the penthouse level: It’s a suite where you can kick back and relax in style with an aprés dinner drink, like a nice cordial or a glass of wine, and enjoy their beautifully crafted assortments of dessert.

If you must ask, what’s for breakfast? Well, head back upstairs to the lounge to satisfy your palette with their deliciously appetizing offerings. Oh, and don’t forget to grab your newspapers and a cup of coffee to-go before you run off to work! What a way to start the day! So, if you don’t know about the Club lounge, you ought to ask about it next time!

So, with that said, I have an entertaining short story for you:

One morning, I was asked by my Grandfather to scoop the snow from the road that was plowed into our driveway. Of course, my Grandfather monitored my progress so he could get an ETA for his business friends (at the bottom of the mountain) as to when he could get the Jeep out so he could meet with them. So, Papa went back inside to get changed and warm the car up, and I saw opportunity knocking. Meanwhile, while my Grandfather’s getting ready, I’m still scooping snow. Actually, scooping and sweating, in grossly over-sized black Mark Jacobs boots. So, I sat on top of the big pile of snow (that I still had to shovel) and waited for a friendly person to walk by and chat with.

The man that lived next door who was walking to his H2 parked on the street looked like a great prospect to share a casual conversation with. This is especially true because the alternatives for conversation were…well, nobody! So converse I did. He said his name was JP, and stated that he was my neighbor (to which I had to act delightfully surprised). “Oh, how fantastic! I was wondering when I would get the chance to meet the neighbors!”… and the conversation continued.

I suppose it could have been the neighborly charm, but somehow, I enlisted this man into conquering the big pile of snow at the end of our driveway. After our conversation, and once he finished the shoveling (okay, I helped too!), I invited him in for some water.

So JP and I continued inside, where I introduced our “lovely neighbor” to my family. After a warm conversation by the fire and a change of socks later, JP gracefully departed and my Grandparents both jumped to drop the bomb on me.

“Do you know what you just did?” My Grandmother shrieked.
“Well I was just being friendly with a neighbor. He offered to help shovel snow,” I responded curiously. “Why?”
“Because that was JP Getty, as in Getty Oil!” she blurted. “And there you were, asking him to help shovel snow! Oh boy.”
I shrugged my shoulders and quickly laughed, “Hah. I was wondering when we would meet.”

So, this is a great example of where the, “Land of the Giants,” theory applies…

Because my love for Tamarack is so huge, I added some pictures (below) that I took from some of my favorite trips! And please forgive me for leaving my summer mountain biking pictures (don’t want to relive the memory!) and the holiday party pics (you’ll have to take a trip to see what the parties are all about!) out of the quick recap….Here ya go:

My Grandparents just returned from their summer visit out there, and they said at the hottest it was 75, and at night it would dip below 35! And on the same day, DC registered a blistering 102 degrees. Needless to say, this resort is so magical during every season of the year. During my Grandparent’s visit, they sent me this picture that they took from our back porch.

If you’ve ever seen a double rainbow in Washington, DC, please inform me!
Here I am at Tamarack in the winter.

I love to snowboard! I know…kinda boyish, right? But still, so much fun!!! This picture reminds me that I need to get my friend’s travel plans coordinated so that they can all come out this year. I’m so excited!

Okay, so here’s the winter view off of my back porch

Well that’s a wrap folks! Watch for more MLE Resort News!

PS- The rumor is the Trumps are moving in! And the gossip continues to spread!!
