I have a very good friend, Kym Canter, her day job is as creative director of J. Mendel. They make stunning lux clothes. But this friend has a dream above and beyond making the beautiful more beautiful... She has a bunny (an 18 year old plush) with model ambition. This bunny has enlisted Kym to make sure the world knows and loves her and kym is more than happy to oblige 24/7. Weirdly, it's happening! In the book, "Star Von Bunny, a model tale" she's snapped with all sorts of talent and fame, 'her friends.' This bunny and kym are already far far away from their humble beginnings in their respective suburban bedrooms and on their way take over the world or at least know it well.

I was recently at the Peninsula in Beverly Hills for a few days. My friend kept telling me I had no idea what I was in for, "it will make the Ritz Carlton look like a motel..." At first glance I didn't get it, sure an army of uniformed men descended on our car to carry things for us and the bellman asked if he could take anything to be pressed. All very nice.  It became crystal clear the next morning when I ordered breakfast and it was going to take 20 to 30 minutes to be delivered. I said "ooh, too bad I really need a coffee. " then I heard!!! "I can send up the coffee right away" 4 minutes later the bell rang, viola, a perfect cappuccino. I caught on... we had a car and driver 24/7 and took full advantage of the spa. Felt a little odd when the staff backed up to the wall when I walked past, but I dealt. The next morning the cappuccino in 4 minutes was offered when I ordered my breakfast. Apparently, at the peninsula you only have to say "yes" once, I would love to see their database!  On our last day we asked what time we should check out of our rooms and their response was "whenever you like" and I never signed a check or saw a bill ever for anything, ever.  They have perfected the art of the fantasy and I was just a novice I can just imagine where I could take this, with a little practice.
