I'm still enchanted and mesmerized by my stay at the historic Hotel Fort Des Moines for business travel this week.
This beautiful, old hotel, where former celebrities, foreign royalty and presidents alike have stayed, has captured both my heart and my imagination. I have researched that it originally opened in 1919.
I hope to stay here again on my next trip to Des Moines, for business or for pleasure.

This article in a 1929 newspaper has been under the vintage linoleum of a long-empty attic apartment in Warwick, NY. I am sure being beneath oilcloth for decades has helped preserve this paper.
We wound up in Downtown Phoenix on Sunday. Don't ask, long story.
So here on the sidewalk outside the hotel San Carlos they have this walk of stars. Supposedly the famous people that stayed at the San Carlos over the years.
I picked Mae because I always liked her in the Movies with WC Fields.
One of Mae's many quotes
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Mae West
Opened in 1927 it was the first Hotel to have Air Conditioning. Also it is said to be haunted Several deaths have occurred at the hotel and I guess that's what makes it haunted.
You can read all about it here if you're so inclined.
Hi Hi Hi... Apeurées par l'arrivée de ma toute nouvelle coloc (elle est pourtant très sympathique), mes deux moumounes ont étés se réfugier entre les deux fenêtres de mon salon... ;)
Ça force les rapprochements... ;)
Show that you know the power of being a woman with this tee inspired by history's original temptress and her forbidden fruit! As Mae West observed, "When women go wrong, men go right after them!"

Peligrosa mujer
En 1893 nació Mae West, carne de pecado, voraz vampiresa.
En 1927 marchó a la cárcel, con todo su elenco, por haber puesto en escena una invitación al placer, sutilmente llamada Sex, en un teatro de Broadway.
Cuando terminó de purgar su delito de obscenidad pública, decidió mudarse de Broadway a Hollywood, del teatro al cine, creyendo que llegaba al reino de la libertad. Pero el gobierno de los Estados Unidos impuso a Hollywood un certificado de corrección moral, que durante treinta y ocho años fue imprescindible para autorizar el estreno de cualquier película.
El Código Hays prohibió que el cine mostrara desnudos, danzas sugestivas, besos lascivos, adulterios, homosexualidades y otras perversiones que atentaran contra la santidad del matrimonio y el hogar. Ni las películas de Tarzán pudieron salvarse, y Betty Boop fue obligada a vestir falda larga. Y Mae West siguió metiéndose en líos.

"Royal" because it has the entire egg (it'd be "silver" if it were just the egg white, and "golden" if it were just the yolk) and "diamond" because its fizz comes from sparkling wine and not soda water.
Goji-berry-infused bourbon, Pama pomegranate liqueur, grapefruit, whole egg, sparkling wine.
Delish.
