The Monkey Bar at Boca Raton Resort

Like all good Mizner Loyalist , we love Johnnie Brown. Johnny Brown was Addison Mizner's pet spider monkey. He is burried down a little Via off Worth Avenue in Palm Beach.

There used to be a great shop on Worth Ave called ' Johnny Brown', it is probably still there.

4UDECOR - Prémio Mobis

Loja de Cascais entre as melhores do mobiliário

Porto, 30 de Setembro 2008 – A loja 4UDecor, de Cascais, está entre os candidatos ao Prémio Mobis, que distingue as melhores empresas no sector do mobiliário. O vencedor será conhecido a 16 de Outubro, durante a Gala Prémio Mobis marcada para o Casino da Póvoa de Varzim. A cerimónia reunirá mais de quatrocentos convidados, destacando-se o Secretário de Estado do Comércio, Fernando Serrasqueiro, e de outras altas individualidades.

O Prémio Mobis é promovido anualmente pela revista Mobiliário em Notícia e envolve todas as associações ligadas ao sector do mobiliário e o AICEP. Segundo Emídio Brandão, editor da revista, “queremos premiar o compromisso das empresas com o design, com a inovação e com a marca, factores que fazem com que o móvel português ganhe cada vez maior competitividade a nível internacional”.

Ao todo serão premiadas três dezenas de empresas e empresários, tantas quantas as categorias a concurso, naquilo que muitos consideram como os “Óscares do Mobiliário”. Na ocasião, a Associação Portuguesa de Comércio Mobiliário procederá também à entrega da Etiqueta de Qualidade a cerca de 70 lojas.

O sector do mobiliário e da madeira emprega 54.500 trabalhadores. Segundo o «Estudo Estratégico das Indústrias de Madeira e Mobiliário» a indústria de mobiliário é dos sectores tradicionais da indústria portuguesa, aquele que, nos últimos anos, mais cresceu nos mercados internacionais e que conheceu uma evolução mais significativa no desenvolvimento de produtos, estratégias de marketing e evolução na cadeia de valor.

A Câmara Municipal de Paços de Ferreira apoia a iniciativa patrocinando o Premio Mobis Design.

Mizner's Boca Raton Resort

This is a promotional map from Addison Mizner ( Boca Raton Historical Society )
Mizner really did put Boca Raton on the map when he put The Boca Raton Resort on the map !
This is last October's cover, and it is soooooo Boca ! ( this October's cover might be very different )
It is just up the road from Boca raton, so you should ....
Take a drive and see how the other half lives, from Donald Trump’s fabulous Mar-a-Lago (1100 South Ocean), once the palatial estate of Marjorie Merriweather Post, past John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s former house (720 North Ocean ) and the Estee Lauder estate (126 South Ocean) to lovely Worth Avenue, one of the most famous shopping streets in the world. While you are there. make sure you pop into Via Mizner and visit the grave of Johnnie Brown, the pet monkey of Palm Beach/Boca Raton society architect Addison Mizner. It was eccentric Mizner, complete with a monkey on his shoulder, who, in the 1920s, brought the “Old World Mediterranean” look to Palm Beach and points south. If you decide to explore the north end of the island, you can find the former Kennedy compound at 1095 North Ocean, the family’s winter estate until 1995 and site of where William Kennedy Smith was infamously accused of rape in 1991 ( Boca Raton Mag. )
This is the Historical Society's Building, they took over the Original Town Hall Building.
It is a wonderful organization of which I have been involved with. I will post about that later.

( Click on pics to enlarge )
This is promotional literature from Mr. Mizners Company, he had a dream for Boca Raton and designed The Boca Raton Resort which really is The Centerpiece of Boca.

The Boca Raton Resort's entrance. ( click to enlarge )

How about a swim at this pool ? Yes, This is The Boca Raton Resort and yes more people watching, sometimes bordering on a freak show. But that is just through my eyes, what do I know ? ( if you come down and run into me at Mizner's, I'll tell you what I know, and you won't believe it !!! Truth really is stranger that fiction. ( click to enlarge )
The Boca Raton Resort Golf Course
I do not play golf, but I would drive the cart.
And then have a yummy lunch at Chauncy's.
This is Red Reef Park in Boca Raton.
More of Red Reef Park. Everyone comes to sun bathe and snorkel here.

This is what we refer to as 'Mizner'. It is an open air city center with apartments above the stores and restaurants below all inspired by the Mizner design style. You do not want to miss this !!! It has many great restaurants and good shopping as well. And the 'Starbucks' here is a hot spot.
If indeed you like people watching, come to 'Mizner' at night.
Now this....really can be a Freak Show Extrordinaire.

The Raleigh Hotel in MIAMI BEACH


When I first moved to Miami Beach as a small child we spent our summers at
The Raleigh Hotel, it was a happy , happy time. The beaches in Miami Beach were still real sand beaches. What they have on the beach where sand should be is something that they litterally 'dug up someplace', and called it sand.Since it is NO FUN walking on the sand barefoot, you can will me here, ( please DON'T)
I am isolating. After the debate last night,
My Head is Killing Me and I am Cranky.

more useless info : Chanel ( Karl Lagerfield ) just introduced their new collection at The Raleigh Swimming Pool www.RalieighHotel.com

Hooverville or Bushville

Oh look, The beginning of fall......

Central Park has always been a very special place to me. It is so very beautiful all year !!


I love to be in it, walk through it , or just walk by it along 5th Ave ( I am an EastSider).

When I first moved to Manhattan in 1975 I danced the nights away at places like; Studio 54, Xenon's, Hippopotamus , The Library, and I would end up eating breakfast just before dawn at The Brasserie on east 53rd Street . The Brasserie was well known and great for people watching, there were many drunk & stoned Movies Star's along with the Famous Clothing Designers. 'The Lush Life' in more than one way.

Right outside the windows of cafes all over Manhattan you would see people sleeping in doorways , hallways, over subway grates covered with newspaper to keep warm. By the rivers , and under bridges you would see people living in boxes and burning fires in coffee cans to cook and keep warm. The city of Manhattan was bankrupt, there was no help or place for these poor people.


But thankfully, I never saw a policeman chase a cold sleeping man off a subway grate -

You know, It was a difficult time for me (and it certainly could have gotten worse for me) as well, because I was young, stupid, spending everything I got my hands on, and I was so afraid that I might miss something. I was burning at both ends. It was all so sophisticated and beautiful I thought.
I believe today that I was just luckier than the men on the grates, or the ladies pushing everything they owned in a shopping cart, while dressed in soiled evening gowns , with pale dirty faces wearing false eyelashes and ruby red lips at 8:00 am in the morning.
You know, we just need to force ourselves to look to the left and the right, up and down....or we will miss 'something' or 'everything'.
