I always feel like such a slouch next to glamorous Xavier. For one thing, he owns more shoes than I! Plus he’s totally hot. And get a load of that view from his terrace for crying out loud! He is among the finest hosts I’ve ever come across, making his guests feel totally welcome and loved. A wonderful way to spend the 4th of July.

I know it’s hokey, but I absolutely love fireworks.

Two of my best pals.
