Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend and holiday. I had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday, going to the mountains, and eating some very delicious food. Can't ask for more than that, but you know I do. π π
This weekend, I'm looking forward to a few celebrations. There might be refreshments to be had and maybe some singing. π It's a holiday weekend for us here in the U.S. and I'm going to make the absolute most of it. The weather has finally started to cool off a little and that gets me super excited about fall coming and some new lingerie.
I hope you will have the most beautiful weekend and maybe think about me once or twice. π
Throwback Thursday Had to go back a long way for these. Sometimes, I don't even know who that girl is. If I could talk to my younger self, I would tell her to relax. I could never have imagined how things would progress. I'm very grateful I didn't let fear or discouragement stand in the way and I have to thank all of you for helping me grow and flourish. π
Before I go out in public, I always like to check my garters. It's completely embarrassing to be walking into a restaurant and have one of my stockings around my knees. I think I'm good to go. What do you think? π

Are you in need of long stocking legs wrapped around you? A smoldering look into your eyes as hands run through your hair? Could you use soft warm pillows to lay your weary head on? If yes is your answer, I think we might be friends. π

Whiskey Wednesday Papi Steak is one of the newer steakhouses in Las Vegas, located inside the new Fountainbleu Hotel on the strip. I was able to try it recently and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is beautiful, the food delicious and the service stellar. Make sure to try one of their specialtiesβ¦.the truffle corn. It was so good! I also got to witness their amazing Tomahawk experience that happened at a neighboring table. It is quite the show if you go with a group and can eat all 55 ounces! π
The new hotel is lovely as well, very beautiful and spacious, so make sure to bring your walking shoes. There are also many other restaurants to explore, so I am looking forward to trying them all.
(Their Irish selection is not great, so I had a favorite Angels Envy ) Cheers! π₯ π
I'm running into the weekend like a house on fire! I hope yours has a few adventures and something to make you sing. That clock keeps ticking and I just want to laugh and smile every minute. π
It's always great to come home to Las Vegas, but I am missing some of my cruising daily rituals! Like having coffee and croissants on my balcony staring at the beautiful Caribbean. Working out with incredible views. Spending lazy afternoons soaking up the sun and sipping yummy drinks, like a Creamsicle cocktail that tastes just like the popsicle!
Dinners were delicious and I felt so pampered being served daily. I enjoyed sipping on Buffalo Trace with a tasty spinach filled appetizer and opted for the Chef's special of shrimp and pasta at the French inspired dining room called Normandie. When I couldn't decide on dessert, the servers would bring me both so I didn't have toβΊοΈ In todays pics it was the Sacher Torte and the Mille Feuille. One of the servers was from Argentina and we had fun chatting about all the treats we miss from there.
The ship was Celebrity Beyond ~the third ship in their Edge series. It is beautiful, very comfortable with lots of interesting spaces to hang out, and options of things to do while sailing. It traveled to Cozumel, Grand Cayman and The Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale. I never get tired of looking at beautiful blue oceans.
I'm back in Las Vegas, but I think I need a vacation from my vacation. Traveling can be stressful when things don't go the way they're supposed to, but I'm glad to finally be back. I spent a little longer today getting started, but I'm ready for a great week. π
This is my closing ceremony...not quite the Olympics but I had some epic views both large and small. I soaked up the sun and made a few friends along the way. As the moon was riding high over the ocean, I said goodnight to a fun vacation. Right now, I'm actually on my way back to Las Vegas.
I hoped you enjoyed my adventures and are having a great start to your week. π
Cruisin This muse had a beautiful day at sea. Lots of libations and plenty of sunshine. Had the most delicious dinner of octopus followed by cello in moonlight. I have to say that it's been super relaxing and I even think I got a little sun. π
I can't get over how beautiful the water is. I'm already making plans to come back and do some diving. The weather has been wonderful and very relaxing. No stress, Mon!
Not to worry; I'll be back in my garters soon. Hope everyone is having a good week. π
Grand Caymen I'm presently docked in the Grand Caymen. My whiskey choices were a little limited, but they did have Angel's Envy which made me smile. Fortunately, the big storm by-passed the ship. I was a little nervous there for awhile and the weather so far has been beautiful. I do have to tell you that American cruises tend to be a little more intoxicated than the European ships from what I've experienced. Much livelier crowd. π Cheers! π
Do you think I would make it on the runway? I think I'll save it for your very own fashion show. You just have to be my paparazzi. No peeking in the dressing room. A girl can't give away all of her secrets. π
Have a beautiful weekend! π

Recently, I got to enjoy one of the best Italian restaurants in Las Vegas..Piero's. All I can say is "WOW" It's a an old school restaurant that has seen it's share of celebrities both famous and infamous. I started off the evening with a cocktail and oysters. I had an Angel's Envy Paper Plane that was delicious and refreshing on a very hot summer day. You may also notice that this is one of the few times that I went out without stockings.
The food is very traditional and the portions are not small. I had the shrimp scampi and I have to tell you that I took half of it home. Even the bread was amazing. A glass of wine with dinner and there wasn't room for dessert.
There's a story that the restaurant had a few unsavory articles written about it because of the infamous guests and that there was some monkey business going on. So, the restaurant decided to embrace it and decorated the bar and entrance with monkeys, which I loved. It's hilarious and fun. If you're ever in Vegas or live here, it's an absolute must. Needless to say, it was a wonderful evening. I really hope you enjoy the photos and be sure to look at the list of guests.
Cheers! π

Happy Monday! It's a wonderful day to wake up to some beautiful sunshine and a bit cooler temperatures. Who would have ever thought that 106 F or 41 C for a high would feel cool. I'll absolutely take it.
Hope your weekend was restful and enjoyable. I'm super excited about the Olympics and especially the swimmers. It's incredible how fast they've become especially the younger athletes. They have some big futures ahead of them. Cheers to all of your favorite athletes and what a wonderful opening ceremony. Loved every bit of it. π
TGIF! This girl is looking forward to the weekend. I think a little romantic restaurant is in order. I'm wondering what you would pick? We have so many choices, but nothing too heavy so we can make the night last. A couple of refreshing cocktails and appetizers. After dinner, I think we should bring dessert back here to relax. Would you let me eat my dessert off of your chest? Silly boy, that's not your chest. You can surprise me for the rest of the weekend. π₯π

Feeling the blue today. I always forget how well this blue turned out and I can't believe how the time goes so fast. I have to find the right dress to wear with these stockings. I really spend more time thinking about the next set and I need to come back to some of my older lingerie. So many pretty things and so little time. I hope you enjoy them. π

Well, this day has completely gotten away from me. It's always the little things that add up and then before you know it you ask yourself what happened. I thought I would share some more of bath time with you. I do hope you've had the most beautiful day! π

I bet most of you don't know that I'm absolutely in love with tubs. Very early on, I would stay in the tub forever. Then I learned the joys of powerful faucets and my mother kept asking me what was taking so long.
So, in every suite, if I get a chance, it's tub time. I love to soak those aching muscles and joints after being in crazy positions for so long. Now, if you would only join me, we could have tub time together. π
