Viceroy Madness

What happens when you go to one of the swankiest hotels in Palm Springs and you tell people it’s someone’s birthday in a few hours? You get many many martinis and a gaggle of gay men ready to ring in your newest year with you. We were supposed to meet up with some friends of Mary & Lewis’ last night for a few drinks & dinner – before we knew it, we had at least 20 gay men PARTYING with us and we took over then entire back end of the hotel. It was the complete Palm Springs experience! Topics of conversation: The word fabulous, Palm Springs Real Estate, Bravo’s newest TV show – Top Design, Jonathan Adler and the mayor of Signal Hill.

The Viceroy is great. Very Old Hollywood glamorous. All whites and blacks, with yellow accents. Pictures of Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield all over. We had a hard time holding the camera and the martinis in our hands, but here’s a few pics:

Man. We’re finally in Palm Springs and it is just as wonderful as we remember it. This place is for us. The Horizon is a beautifully renovated and restored old Hollywood icon hangout – absolutely mid-century modern, and it is amazing here.
