A-Team 3.0

Three generations of skilled Aspen Skiers gathered at a local restaurant to re-live the POW day last Friday.   The Kozlow's, Gardner's and Bellinson's drank shakes and ate fries as the snow kept fallin' down during DUMP-cember.  Take note of the youngest A-Teamer ---10 week old Bo Gardner (second from left).  He now owns the Guniness Book's  World Record for---- "youngest breast feeder on a Gondola over 10,000 feet".   Bo's Mom, Jody--- a rippin' ski diva shared her thinking-- "we want him acclimatized, ASAP." 

Does anyone still read books?.

RFK Jr. the RiverKeeper himself ----greeted the crowd at Explore bookstore.  "Call me Bobby"  he said.  The dude can rap.  Off the cuff, Bobby orated for about an hour on a variety of subjects and then signed books for the folks.  He's a Hillary man.  He distrusts Rudy and he wondered out loud why we decided to join into the "1800 year old  dispute" in Iraq.  That's --- Zach, star of CBS's Kid Nation getting his book signed by Bobby.

Aspen Daze

Day's of Our Lives star-- Deidre Hall accompanied by her two sons Tullly and David, participated in the Q & A  with RFK Jr. at Explore.

Not Guilty your Honor.

This good looking group made A-Spin sign off on a written,  3 page legal doc. before allowing the "money"  shot.  A-Spin had to agree to be "nice" before any photo's were taken.

 We were just hanging around minding our own business, rapping with the World's tallest Jew,  Jeff Cohen and his foxy wife Beanie----the next thing we know----protracted negotiations and posturing ensued.  A firm agreement was reached.    Joining the Cohen's,(L) are   Real Estate playa Jeff Surnow and his beautiful swan, --Elaine alongside Socialites Jimmy and Sherry Ketai.  Jimmy the K., a lawyer by training dotted the I's and crossed the T's before allowing any photo action on www.AspenSpin.com    P.S.   those are big fluffy POW flakes dotting the photo.

Lap Dance

Ski patrolling icon Steven "Chopper" Cohen gets a much deserved "thank you" lap dance from Lori Schmutz at "Trampo".   Lisa was rescued by Chopper after inadvertently dropping under the rope on Walsh's-----again.

going once, going twice....

 Auctioneer Lydia Fenet, of Christie's has a unique ability for getting the most out of her bidders.  Here she stands with presenting sponsor Janet O'Grady from Aspen Magazine.

We picked up on one of Lydia's trademark techniques--"Your outfit is stunning, -----do I hear $25,000....?". 

Style never goes out of Style

Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson, Director and Chief Curator of the Aspen Art Museum welcomes former Gucci CEO Domenico De Solo and his elegant wife Eleanore to Freestyle 2007.  De Solo, is now at the helm of Tom Ford International.   He's a Harvard trained lawyer, a member of several NYSE boards and he's generally credited for reestablishing the Gucci brand during his tenure and putting the Gucci name back in the fashion forefront.

Motown in da house.

This Detroit wrecking crew took down a bunch of live and silent auction items at the AAM / Basso FreeStyle extravaganza.  The Kaufmans, the Rogow's and Sandy Nelson made it known that the 313 is still alive and well.  

Milton in the middle

Bon Vivant ---Milton Dresner skis all day and parties all night.  Milt is shown here entertaining his gal pal Patricia Eltinoe and fashonista Judy Green ---both of L.A.  correction---The Palisades.

Freestylin'

World renowned fashion designer, Dennis Basso brought his 2007/08 collection to FreeStyle at the St. Regis.

 Dennis (center) strikes a pose with his ladies.   Event chairs Carolyn Powers (far left) and Betsy Fifield (far right).  In the center and rockin' that crazy-cool fur hat is Michele Herbert and resplendent in Silver---presenting sponsor Janet O'Grady of Aspen Magazine.

Sensible Growth

Long time Aspen developer Steve Marcus and his adorable lady Julie McClain enjoyed the FreeStyle fashion show and auction.

Marcus believes in sensible growth.  Perhaps his most famous project---the Ajax Mountain building on Durant Street---where all the commercial tenants seem to survive and prosper--happily.  In Aspen that's a feel good story.

Chi town M.I.L.F.'s

Irina Kaiser and Irene Michaels from Chicago did not even notice the sub-zero temps outside.  "It reminds us of home" quipped Irene.

Fashion Forward

Taking a risk is part of being on the cutting edge.  Marie E. Kelly a.ka. ---The Aspen Design Diva sported the most eye-catching outfit at FreeStyle.  Bulgari's rep. Natasha showed the design diva a few jewels to accent her fashion choices.

The Brawl on the Mall.

Would you pay to see it go down-----live?    How about on PPV?  The Brawl on the Mall!!  The Throwdown from Motown!!!   Since 1969 there's been trouble brewing between these two heavyweights.   It all started with a watermelon eating contest in the woods of Cheyboygan, Michigan.  Since then this legendary rivalry has only grown.

The guy on the left---he's a HUGE deal-maker, the other guy, ---the good lookin' one----- he's just an over-educated ski-bum.

It was "all good" for the time being at the AAM / Dennis Basso event, but it was just one more episode of  "inappropriate physical contact" away from being total kaos.  SECURITY!!!

Small town Girlz

These three ladies are always in the right place at the right time.  Each is an Aspen celeb. in her own right.  You may recall Asia's (left) bikini shot on Aspen Spin last Nov. It produced a ton of clicks.  Mary Sue Bonetti (center) photographs all the important A-List parties and Lori "L.B." Burnstein is moving so much real estate she might just become a "trust-a-farian".

Hellloooooooo!!!!
