Sex After 60!

Sex after 60! Can you wear your clothes? That may be a funny question to many of us but to those who are experiencing a second chapter in their lives, after losing a long time spouse or partner, this is serious because they may not like exposing themselves to a new person. Only someone like Susan Warner can tell you what to do. She has been through it all and today she is smiling.

Charo Oquet Offers A Life Lesson

We are so happy for Charo Oquet who had her steel installation unveiled tonight on the grounds of the Bass Museum. More then 50 fans showed up to applaud her work. Eliot and I love her art, love her look and love her heart. Listen to her speech. She lives in the moment. Photos by Eliot Hess.

Celebrating Purim At Kodesh House

Rabbi Marc Philippe and his wife (Rabbetzin) Valerie, hosted a wonderful Purim celebration last night in their backyard. Over 50 people attended because the gathering was very spiritual. The Rabbi and Valerie have started a spiritual and cultural center to offer everyone a new modern way to reach your inner soul.

Famed Artist John DeFaro, a long time good friend, is always eager to do a reality check on life. John’s parents lived on our floor in our NYC Co-Op. We were good neighbors for many decades.
55 years ago, September 9th, 1966, Eric Schneider (No relation. My maiden name is Schneider) and I, walked into Fairchild Publications to start our careers. We were messengers (copy girl/copy boy) for WWD, HFD and 10 other newspapers. We stayed in touch all these years and now live a few blocks from each other in South Beach. Guess what? We both still work. Eric has been a publisher for textile magazines for decades.
Rabbi Marc Philippe and Rebbetzin Valerie celebrating their new startup called Kodesh House, a spiritual and cultural center. All contributions are welcomed.
Valerie made the most delicious vegan chili and Hamantaschen for everyone. It was truly outstanding. It just warmed the heart. Food like that always works wonders.
Rabbi Marc Philippe is one of the most modern Rabbi’s in the universe. Young and older find him the answer to their dreams because he loves and accepts diversification and new ways of thinking. He sings and plays instruments like a rock star.

Susan Is Suddenly Single

Love and sex in your mature years. This is my client Susan Warner. She tells it all. Listen to the podcast. Get ready to blush. The link to the podcast is just below the photo.

Some like to impersonate Carrie Bradshaw with their fantastic and outlandish clothing and vast closets. Even Sarah Jessica Parker pretends to be Carrie Bradshaw when she  dresses to walk the red carpet. 

However, there is one gal in all of NYC who, if he knew her, should have been the muse for Darren Star. Let me introduce you to Susan S Warner, the adorable, petite blond who at 58 lost her handsome and extraordinary husband to cancer and six months prior, her wonderful son, 32, to death by suicide.

“And Just Like That,” Susan became Carrie. Carrie may have her beat on exposure, but Susan has her beat on life’s experiences. It’s now four years later. After the most challenging days and nights, Susan decided to live her best life possible and that meant, “Susan was suddenly single.”

We Didn’t Walk A Mile In His Shoes

For many years, the founder of Zappos, had one of the biggest names in the tech industry. Tony Hsieh was admired by all who wanted to be the creator of a start-up and make it big. Everyone wrote about him and he was a keynoter at every major conference. He had it all. At least we thought so.

I’m still in shock how his life ended. When I saw this article about Tony in the WSJ, I wanted to copy and paste it here because most of you don’t have a subscription. This is such a sad story.

The Frost Art Walk, one of my favorite activities takes place next week. Some of the best jazz musicians in South Florida will perform this month at the Miami Botanical Garden. We finally got to dine at Carbone of South Beach, the most popular “A” crowd restaurant in Miami. And this spring you’ll be able to watch movies under the stars. And our roving photographer, Eliot Hess, has more photos of our beloved city, like the one pictured here. So many reasons to love our city. 

March 15. Frost Art Walk

One of my favorite activities is about to take place next Tuesday, March 15, from 12pm to 1pm. Amy Galpin, the Chief Curator, for the Frost Art Museum, is going to give a tour of the public art on the campus of Florida International University. This is a very special treat because the art sculptures surrounding the museum on the FIU campus is so striking that you want to know more about it.

Entertainment at the Miami Botanical Garden

One of the most picturesque areas where you really come face to face with nature, while enjoying the fresh air, is the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens, and they offer all kinds of entertainment. At the end of this month some of the best jazz musicians in South Florida will be performing along with Broadway star Avery Sommers (Chicago, Showboat, Ain’t Misbehavin’). Bring a chair or a blanket.

Dining with the “A” Crowd

I finally dined at Carbone’s of South Beach last night, the most popular, and revered restaurant in Miami Beach, with my husband and two dear friends. The only reason I got in was because my BFF’s had the reservation and suddenly couldn’t use it. I jumped at the chance because getting a reservation is almost impossible. We knew the prices were exorbitant, but $170 each? Then when it came time for the desert, we were handed a check at the same time, and told that the folks with the next reservation were waiting. Will I return?

Movies Under the Stars

The first time I went to a movie in an open-air arena was in Monaco, thirty years ago. I thought it was so cool to be sitting under the stars looking at a huge screen. Now I am going to be able to have that experience all over again when the Rooftop Cinema Club comes to town in the Spring.

Surprise Party For Ron Abel In Palm Beach

It’s only 90 minutes away. Wednesday we made it to Palm Beach in an hour. We will be going to PB more often because every time we go we meet more and more people. They become friends. The bash Sunny Sessa hosted for Ron for his birthday was over the top with singing, games, and gambling. Sunny’s sit down dinners are always several courses with plenty of options. We all went home with filled bellies, Sunny presents and memorabilia.

My Guest Appearance On The “Sunday Painter” Podcast With Alex Nunez

Click here for the podcast

https://www.mixcloud.com/sundaypainter/lois-whitman-hess-sunday-painter/

The minute I laid eyes on Alex Nunez a number of years ago, I knew that she was destined to be one of the most important artists of our times. Not only is she a talented painter who puts secret messages in her work, but she can talk about all kinds of art in the most fascinating ways. Trust me, if you never cared about art before, you will once Alex starts to explain what a painting is all about. She has her Masters In Fine Arts. You have to check out all of her work on Instagram. https://instagram.com/shockingly_unambitious?utm_medium=copy_link

Alex also has a podcast that plays music artists like to listen to while they work. Music influences art, and art influences music. I have no idea why Alex asked me to be a guest on her show other than to talk about why I surround myself with so much art, and why I hang out with people who create contemporary work. Answer: I love their energy.

Thank you SZS for these signs

Thank you Esther

Esther Dyson is one of the most respected members of the tech community. Her resignation from Yandex N.V. is a clear indication that the tech industry is going to support Ukraine any way they can. We hope this sends a strong message to the people of Russia who must stop this war now.

Yandex N.V. is a multinational corporation primarily for Russian and Russian-language users, providing 70 Internet-related products and services, including transportation, search and information services, e-commerce, navigation, mobile applications, and online advertising

Dyson is a Swiss-born American investor, journalist, author, commentator and philanthropist. Dyson is a leading angel investor focused on health care, open government, digital technology, biotechnology, and outer space. Dyson’s career now focuses on health and she continues to invest in health and technology startups.

Her resignation letter states:

Today I resigned as a non-executive board member of Yandex N.V. My co-director Ilya Strebulaev has also resigned. Please see the Yandex press release on our resignations:

Ilya and I issued a joint statement in our personal capacities as follows:

“Today we resigned from the Board of Yandex with heavy hearts.

We have been honored to serve on the Yandex board and to support its founder Arkady Volozh and the outstanding management team and employees who have built an exceptional, world-class technology business. The team has always sought to do the right thing and to serve the Russian population with access to information, mobility and many other services. Today, the company and all its employees are going through a terrible time. They find themselves under enormous pressure both inside and outside the country. Unfortunately, we have both reached the view that, in the current political environment in Russia, it has become impossible for the team to continue to provide a free and open platform for information for the Russian public without breaking the law and putting the company and its employees at risk. In these circumstances, we do not believe that we are able to continue to contribute meaningfully as members of the Board.

We respect our fellow board members who have committed to supporting the company and its nearly 20,000 employees. We know that they will continue to support the management team in its goal to stay true to its values while navigating an exceptionally challenging set of political pressures, with a view to ensuring both business continuity and, above all, the safety and security of its employees. We also want to express our deep admiration for the staff, and to acknowledge the impossible situation in which they find themselves.

Our hearts go out to the people of Ukraine as they face these brutal events, as well as to the millions of Russians of good faith who would speak out if they could do so safely. We will continue to support the Board and management in our individual capacities.”

Apple Is Bringing Back 1 Of the Best Things About Its Iconic Retail Stores

I miss hanging out in the Apple store. I also miss hanging out in Tower Records, Blockbuster, and Sam Goody’s. Thank goodness Apple is coming back and Books and Books is a favorite meeting spot in Miami. This is very much part of our social life. It makes us feel connected and part of the community. This is a different experience than social media. We enjoy it.

The company’s in-person classes and workshops return today.

Starting today, Apple’s retail stores are getting back one of their best features–the in-person classes and workshops known as “Today at Apple.” That means you can visit the Today at Apple page on the company’s website to see a collection of classes available at the Apple Store near you.

If you’ve ever been in an Apple Store, you’ve probably seen a group of people listening to an instructor talk about photography, creating videos using an iPhone, or editing photos on a Mac. For the last two years, however, Apple’s retail stores have looked a lot different. The pandemic forced every company to make drastic changes to the way they interact with customers, while still trying to meet their needs.

I think it’s fair to say that Apple did as good a job as any. The company implemented a rigorous screening process for customers entering its stores, implemented order pickup, and allowed customers to make an appointment to shop with a specialist.

During the pandemic, one of the most impressive feats was the way Apple translated its in-store experience online. The company even created a program called “Today at Apple at Home,” which allowed customers to take part in workshops and classes virtually, even when retail stores were shut down.

That’s a big deal considering Apple’s retail stores have–for the past two decades–been an important extension of the company’s brand. They’re a place where you could experience any of Apple’s products in person.

Of course, there are plenty of other places you can go to check out the latest iPhone or Mac. What makes an Apple Store different is the experience. Everything about an Apple Store invites you to pick and touch the products.

Not only that, but Apple Stores are staffed by passionate Apple employees who will take the time to explain the features of your new device, and walk you through how to set it up and copy over all of your information. Then, you could sign up for a class to learn even more about using your device.

At the original San Francisco flagship store, I used to sit in the theater upstairs and listen to workshops about everything from making a movie using iMovie, to editing photos in Aperture. It’s one of the things that I missed about Apple Stores during the pandemic, just walking in and listening to someone as passionate about using Apple’s creative tools to tell stories and make things.

“We can’t wait to welcome more of our communities back to our stores to experience Today at Apple, led by our incredible Apple Creatives,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail and People. “We’ve missed experiencing this connection in our stores, and we’re so happy that Today at Apple is back in person.”

For Apple, its retail stores have always been about more than just taking your money and handing over a box with an iPhone. Obviously, Apple is happy to sell you whatever you’re looking for when you walk into one of its stores. Not only that, it’s very good at it. Apple Stores are–by far–the most valuable retail locations in the world.

Still, they’ve always been about more than just “shopping.” There is something about walking into an Apple Store that’s different than most retail stores. It really is a different experience, and that’s the point.

Apple created its stores to help its customers connect with its people and its brand. I know that sounds cliche but it’s true, and Apple has done it in a way almost no other tech company–or retailer, for that matter–has been able to copy. Things like Today at Apple are a big part of the reason why.

Starting today, Apple’s retail stores are getting back one of their best features–the in-person classes and workshops known as “Today at Apple.” That means you can visit the Today at Apple page on the company’s website to see a collection of classes available at the Apple Store near you.
