A Day with Another Stylist-Rachel!

I would love to say I did something fun this weekend, but all I did was a little shopping and had dinner with a friend so far. And I'm also proud to say I didn't even emerge from the boudoir till around 1:30pm!!! It was only a four day week, but I still worked 48 hours and was exhausted!!! There is much work currently as many of the fall fashion receipts are coming and the store layouts are changing and many store events will be coming fast and furiously at the Mistress. This week my company sent many visual stylist to descend upon our New York location to ready the store and make fashion show preparations for the arrival and un-veiling of the Rachel Zoe Collection of clothing, so a huge lauch party was under way. I was also curious to see what the Zoe would be like,she herself being a very talented stylist. I do believe she seems not anything like on the reality show. And I found her line of clothes to really reflect her personal style. The collection is very luxe. I was shocked to see she wasn't old school though and wore white after Labor Day! I'll have to send her a well worded email on this subject. It was a lot of stressful work, but it was very fun to be chosen to go and have some fun at the launch, and even installing the window that reflects the collection. And it like literally was. not. a .disaster. And even after a few glasses of champagne and ogling the cute waiters, I managed not to make a spectacle. mistress and company even had time to hit Soho one night at the Mercer. You can read about that over at Gals About Town. Now excuse me whilst I go enjoy another cock-a-tail with my guest. Tootles!

Grande Dame

The last words RV Beaumont heard before succumbing to cancer were, "Have a safe trip, hooker." The popular Key West drag queen, who was born Timothy Swain and called everyone "hooker," passed away in her Petronia Street home at the age of 47.
RV Beaumont was lighthearted and funny and she always saw the comedy in life -- probably because she was always stoned! Swain waited tables at T.G.I.Friday's in Key West in the mid-1990s, before the drag shows at the 801 Bourbon Bar on Duval Street became a twice-a-night gig. Beaumont was best known for her portrayals of Bette Midler and Mary Poppins, with her outrageous and suggestive performance of "A Spoonful of Sugar,"which in 2000 earned her the title of Queen Mother at an annual fundraising drag pageant, where every Sunday found Beaumont calling bingo at the 801, and raising thousands of dollars for local charities. She would pull money out of that crowd every Sunday, and everyone had fun while she was doing it. it's estimated Beaumont raised more than $58,000 for his cancer organization over the years. Other charities included the Metropolitan Community Church, AIDS Help and Hospice. RV was at virtually at every charity event in Key West, in full dress and makeup, always having a good time. When melanoma spread to the liver, spine and brain, Beaumont held on, and would still perform one drag number each night until last month. Nothing was sacred or off-limits when she was on stage, and the laughter echoed through the upstairs cabaret. In the early '90s, Beaumont divided her time between Provincetown, Mass., and Key West. And RV Beaumont will never be forgotten. Thanks for the memories hooker!
