The Jet Set

Screenshots from Hatch.

When Don Draper made his way to California on Mad Men I was in heaven. There was the outrageously decadent design, but the dreamlike goings on intrigued me too. At first they threw me off, but the more I ponder the episode, the more Gatsbyish it seems.

Word has it the site of Don Draper's rendezvous was not in Palm Springs, but rather The Fox Residence in Chatsworth. Fitting, since it's where Frank Sinatra once lived and hosted some unforgettable parties.

Did you know Sinatra's Twin Palms Estate in Palms Springs recently hit the market?

Here it is below and view the complete MLS here.

Jonathan Adler recreated these looks in his design for The Parker - which I visited & blogged about a year ago.

Palm Springs Snaps

Don't you just love this piece of architecture? When you see the pic in black and white, it could be a 60's postcard. In the second photo, you can see a bit of today because I couldn't frame out my Audi's side mirror.

I wish I had a week in Palm Springs, just to snap all of the fun historical architecture.

So below is a photo I had to snag, because it reminded me of our kitty Simba. Do you remember the Saber Toothed Simba pic from my Xmas photo post? I practically went into shock when I saw the sign advertising this restaurant.
