Wearing our tres chic Happy New Year blinking plastic tiaras in the shadow of Lady Liberty, we are sashaying into the New Year, filled with optimism and hope for a joyful and wonderful 2014!
We saw this Keith Haring sculpture* just a block away from the Statue of Liberty ferry terminal, and had to engage in some unplanned silliness. (Photos courtesy of bemused but accommodating out-of-towners from Liverpool and France.)
Then, to warm the cockles of our hearts, we dashed quickly off to the nearby Ritz Carlton for - - can you guess? The bartender was persuaded to combine ingredients from two separate drinks into a customized pomegranate, pear, pineapple and prosecco cocktail. (Try saying that 3 times fast! Especially after you've finished it.)
Check out how the drinks matched Jean's outfit. No, no - we know you think we planned it, but we didn't, even though it looks like our stylist worked on it for hours.

WHO DID IT BETTER?
Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen blow in the New Year. Their hats hint at the show they're now doing on Broadway - "Waiting for Godot". As for who did it better, we think it's a toss up.
Best wishes for a fabulous New Year!
Join us in 2014 for more adventures and FUN-filled escapades.
