David Beahm Anniversary Party

Click here, or on the image below to see the album from the David Beahm Design party on Friday night.

It was a great time. I loved the milk shakes, and TINY burgers. Where do they get the tiny hamburger buns?

All the images from the party will be on pictage in a couple of days. There are some great ones that did not make it into the album. To see everything go to www.pictage.com/426821It was great to see everyone relaxing and having a good time. David has a hard working crew and they deserved the break.

I can't wait for the 20th anniversary party.

David Beahm Anniversary Collage Page

Last night David Beahm celebrated 10 years in business with, what else, a pool party.

It was super chic to have a pool party in midtown, in January. There was caviar, champagne, and bikinis. For a taste see the collage below.

It was great to see people I worked with years ago. David has created a great company through LOTS of hard work. No one deserves success more then he does. It was nice to see him unwind and have fun at a party instead of working.

David, Mazel Tov and more great decades of fun, laughter and success.

The album from the party will be online on Wednesday, so check back.

If you are in Soho go to Hampton Chutney

I was running errands and ended up in Soho. I stopped in to Hampton Chutney on Prince St. I have been there before. I had the seasonal special dosa (it is giant crispy crepe) with mushrooms, butternut squash, jack cheese, arugula, avocado and I think crack cocaine. It is amazing. I can't wait to go back and have another one.

I love this Green Tea

I am a fan of green tea. I don't drink coffee, or regular tea that often. I decided to try different green teas and I fell in love with this one.

It is called Genmai Cha. It is warm, light, and nutty in flavor. It is made from green tea leaves, toasted and popped brown rice and sometimes matcha (another green tea in powdered form.)

I get it from www.japanesegreenteaonline.com. They blend it with matcha and it adds something to it.

I started looking for Japanese green tea cause I found out that it has more health benefits then green tea from China. Also it is the type used in most studies that tell us how great green tea is. My only exposure to green tea was in Chinese restaurants. This was totally different and much better.

I found Japanese green tea light, grassy and smooth. It wasn't at all bitter. There are a couple of tricks to make it properly.

• Let the water cool for 4-5 minutes. The water needs to be hot, but not boiling. Letting it cool for a few minutes does the trick.
• Brew the tea for 1-4 minutes. Leaving it in longer will make it bitter. I brew a bunch and then put it in a thermos

That's all it takes. When you read about the beneficial effects on the Japanese they talk about how people drink like 5 cups a day. It seems like a lot, but when made properly it is really nice to drink.

Enjoy!

Hot Paul came over and we finished his site

So Saturday was my birthday and Hot Paul ended up coming over and we finished his site.

Now I have made a effort to keep this site very "shirts on". For some reason though Hot Paul seems to always be photographed without a shirt on. Saturday was no exception.

As we were working upstairs, Sam was downstairs working. After a couple of hours I needed a break and a giggle. I talked Hot Paul in to Shanghi-ing Sam with a lapdance. He reluctantly agreed (it was my birthday after all.)

I blasted some saucy music and Hot Paul sexily descended the stairs in his skivvies. We all had a giggle as Hot Paul wiggled it to Sensual Seduction by Snoop Dogg.

Of course I busted out the camera. Here are the two of them after all the shenanigans.

Hot Paul, pull it back on the tanning bro, you are starting to blend with the sofa.

The Tingler Has Landed!

A few years ago Sam's friend Jeremy from Australia rolled into town and he busted out with this little copper thing that looked like a wire claw. He called it "The Orgasmatron". I love how subtle the Australians are, but he wasn't wrong. We have the same thing stateside, only we call it "The Tingler".

Fast forward to a couple of months ago. I was having dinner with Carolyn and we were chatting about what favors she should get for a naughty themed party she was doing. I thought of the tingler and immidately we got up from the table and ran out to get one. Actually I think we were at 'inoteca so we leisurely finished a fantastic meal and then sauntered next door to Toys in Babeland. Either way we got a Tingler.

The Tingler made its debut at that party and was a hit. It feels fantastic and the fact that there was a male model at the other end didn't hurt the Tingler's popularity either.

The Tingler has made a couple of appearances since that first party and each have been a hit.

So tonight I found myself with Sam and a friend at 'inoteca finishing a fantastic meal and wouldn't you know it, there was some sauntering to Babeland, and before I could stop myself I had a Tingler in one hand and my debit card in the other.

Although it was way more expensive (over twice to be exact) at Babeland then on Amazon. I am glad I have it. If you do get one, and you need to, go on Amazon. They have one that vibrates, but that might be too much.
