Blow, Gabriel, Blow!

Do you hear that playin'?
Yes I hear that playin'!
Do you know who's playin'?
No, who is that playin'?
Why it's Gabriel, Gabriel playin'!

What a treat our HOTT Crew had on the T on New Years Eve! This ebulliently happy hottie with a great big tuba entertained the passengers on our subway car! 2015 promises to be another fantastic year!

Meanwhile, friend of our HOTT Crew, Dodie, was invited to the premier gala of the year at Simone de Beauvoir de Beauport's seaside mansion on Cape Ann! Only the creme de la creme attend this annual event, and our Dodie was appropriately decked out!

Dodie's Great Aunt was none other than Jacqueline Kennedy, so it was most appropriate that Dodie wore a replica (the original is in Dodie's safe deposit box at Cambridge Trust near HOTT Headquarters in Harvard Square) of the Sunburst Pin Brooch that Jacqueline Kennedy wore during the famous state visit to France in 1961!

But a glistening pin brooch isn't enough bling for Simone de Beauvoir de Beauport's New Year's Eve gala, yet what would go well with the famous brooch? Our friends TJ & Maxx arrived with their beloved pooch, Stella the Sea Beast (below) to whisk Dodie to her elegant event, and this is when Dodie came up with her brilliant idea!

Stella the Sea Beast, proud owner of the ocean front home where TJ & Maxx live, always wears a diamond-studded dog collar. Well, our Dodie ripped that collar off of Stella and turned it into a fashionable choker even Princess Diana would have been proud to wear! Way to go, Dodie!
