Ah! Amor!
Do you suppose they're on a date?
Do you think he'll get a second one?
What do you suppose he's whispering; "Harder! Faster! Heave!"?
Annual Belle Isle Fundraiser Nets $140,000 for Future Island Improvement ProjectsPolish the Jewel Celebrates 10 Years of Passion and Radiance of Detroit’s Island Gem
DETROIT (Oct. 7, 2014) - In mid-September, more than 400 of metro Detroit’s most prominent civic and business leaders spent the afternoon embracing the memories and promise of Detroit’s gleaming island gem at Romancing the Isle, the 10th Anniversary Polish the Jewel Belle Isle Legacy Luncheon. Held at the Belle Isle Casino, the annual Polish the Jewel fundraiser offers an afternoon of networking in support of the Belle Isle Conservancy. This year’s event raised more than $140,000.
“Polish the Jewel punctuates what makes Belle Isle so special, the supporters and volunteers who are so dedicated to the island and all it has to offer,” said Michele Hodges, president of the Belle Isle Conservancy. “So much has happened over the last 10 years of Polish the Jewel events that has breathed new life into the island, and I look forward to seeing the exceptional opportunity that will be uncovered over the next 10 years.”
Commemorating the 10th anniversary event, Hodges recognized Belle Isle Conservancy chair and Polish the Jewel event founder Sarah Earley for her extraordinary dedication to the revitalization of Belle Isle Park.
“Sarah was the primary force behind the very first luncheon a decade ago,” Hodges said. “Not only has she been instrumental in developing the luncheon as a tradition we look forward to each year, but she has also been one of Belle Isle’s greatest supporters throughout its transformation.”
Over the past nine years, Polish the Jewel has raised more than $2.5 million to successfully fund two major construction projects on Belle Isle Park - enhancements to the island’s famed Sunset Point, as well as a historically accurate restoration of the horse stable roof. Proceeds from the 2014 Polish the Jewel will support further improvement projects, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, to ensure the island sparkles for years to come.
Rounding out the afternoon’s activities was a silent auction that raised $19,000 from an assortment of artwork, jewelry, fine wines and more, donated by businesses and retailers across metro Detroit.
Sponsors for the 2014 event included DTE Energy, MASCO Foundation, Sarah and Tony Earley, Franco Public Relations Group, Baker Tilly, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Ford Motor Company Fund, Ruth Roby Glancy, Lear Corporation and St. John Providence Hospital.
I friend of mine recently told me that Buenos Aires is such a romantic city - now I think I understand what that means. I've felt the happiest I can remember feeling in a long time here and the emptiest and saddest. Perhaps that's what real romance is about, maybe thats what I needed.

This was a cute couple who were walking on the beach together, just rubbing their new romance in my face! Ahem.

The Island Romance is a familiar sight on Casco Bay with its open upper deck fitted with a jaunty canopy over the stern. There are benches for seating, and tables can be set up for a buffet and bar service on the enclosed lower level. Bands love to play on the upper deck. Depending on the event, the Island Romance can comfortably accommodate 150-175 people.
Just back from my honeymoon in Italy. We spent the last few days in Rome and the number of photographic opportunities was unreal!

Hi Everyone! I've made this tiara from scratch, everything is wire wrapped, no glue or solder on it. The focal bead is an amazing prasiolite (green amethyst), the front is decorated with some delicate vine pattern, inspired by Magdalena Borejko's designs. I've used some tiny freshwater pearls and thai silver to wrap around the arch and the base of the tiara.
Romantic and very comfortable to wear!

I'll admit that I'm a fan of this band and finally getting the chance to photograph them is a huge deal for me.
Last time I saw them, I was totally disappointed by their live show, four years later and they have redeemed themselves in my eyes.

Image of the filmset of the movie Wild Romance, about the late Dutch rockstar Herman Brood. Brood was played by Daniël Boissevain (at the piano). He's talking to Koos 'Coach' van Dijk, who in real life was the manager of Herman Brood & his Wild Romance. Picture was taken in Paradiso Amsterdam, where the live scenes were filmed. Director Jean van de Velde is also in this image, with the bottle of Stoli in his hand.
