30 days celebration of
MY 30th BIRTHDAY
You get 30 only once so I decided to celebrate in style;
Bodrum - Turkey - St.Tropez - France - Mexico City - New York - Hamptons
     
1. BODRUM - TURKEY
Immediately after arrival we headed of to party at BIANCA Club.
As predicted with Frank and his crew its always fun, if not to much fun!
Franks's house we stayed at. Beautiful.
Saturday at MASA KIZI with Emre, Ugur and Çigdem
Delicious food, good Rose and great company!
In the late afternoon the boat from BIANCA Beach CLub took us to Saturday Sunset party - a must for Sat afternoon!
Lot of fun with with Ugur and Çigdem , and great house music!
Many beautiful things to look at; women, bikinis, sun set....
After great dinner at MIAM Restaurant we had a cake with 2 candles: 1 for Ugur and Çigdem Anniversary and 1 for my birthday :-)

SPECIAL THANKS FOR AMAZING TIME I HAD IN TURKEY TO; Emre, Frank, Ugur and Çigdem!!!
2. ST TROPEZ - FRANCE
TUESDAY
St Tropez - Cote de Azur - The French Riviera - The hottest beach town in France is also the ultimate see-and-be-seen spot in all of Europe
The harbor, one of the best along this coast, was once filled with fishing boats; today it's crowded with yachts, and the waterfront is the town's de facto main street.
First night out at VIP Night Club was a blast!!!
With Sandy, Vincent, Paloma & Tony we had great great fun!
As we shared a table with BLACK-EYES-PEAS we had about 30 gorgeous women around us, and WILL-I-AM of course!
Vincent's favorite was the mulatto dancer, absolutely gorgeous!!!
WEDNESDAY
TAHITI Beach Club - Plage de Pampelonne
VILLA BELROSE has a breathtaking terrace overlooking St Tropez bay & invites you to a time of pure culinary pleasure.
The restaurant has a Michelin star and for a reason. The 5 course tasting menu is fantastic!!! My birthday cake was delicious to!
THURSDAY
Day trip to the Island
Our favorite afternoon activity - drinking Rose in our house vineyard.
Getting ready (with Paloma & Pia) and dinner at JOSEPH Restaurant in the Old Port
Thursday - back to VIP CLUB, this time also with Turkish gang
After-party at Emre's boat with all Turkish boys!
After party in St .Tropez means lots of Rose and lot of Champagne..
FRIDAY
Friday at NIKKI BEACH
Sipping Rose with Paloma & Pia
After quick bikini change we were ready for the crazy last 2 hours of the afternoon at NIKKI!
I looooooooved NIKKI Beach. The music is great and everyone had so much fun!
After NIKKI we continued the party at Emre's Boat
Turkish gang has been a great host! Great boat, lot of Rose, good music and fun group!
Sunset photo session was great fun! Even guys fully got into it!
This evening could be called "Sunset Rose"
Sunset views were breathtaking and I of course could not resist taking many many photos....
Arriving to OLD PORT
SATURDAY
In St.Tropez you always need to look good ...especially on the beach!
Lunch with AnaMaria & Jon in famous CLUB 55
Definitely next to Le Palmier the best place for lunch. Loved it!
Quick check on last hour in NIKKI Beach. As always - FUN!
Getting ready for big Saturday night! From Tiger to Zebra :-)
Drinks at BYBLOS HOTEL with AnaMaria & Jon's friends
My main Birthday party that week in LE CAVES DU ROY Night Club
What an amazing night! Best friends, best club, best champagne!
I even made friends with NBA basketball player Antawn Jamison from the Washington Wizards after spilling champagne on his wife's head...
I had great time! Loved the club! Thanks everyone for making it special!
 
SUNDAY
  
LE PALMIERS Beach Club - This All-white social club with top-notch dining room is THE place to be on Sunday!
It offers a sophisticated daytime social club mostly free of Platinum Card posing and Crystal showers - read quieter than NIKKI!
We enjoyed the chilled music, sun, white beds a lot!
Quiet dinner at NIKKI Beach, followed by fireworks show because of the Bastille Day.
VIP CLUB was great on Sunday, next to our table Simon Cowell from American Idol and Ne-Yo
Ne-Yo performed live his song "Closer - I just can't stop" which is one of 3 top songs in St.Tropez this summer. I love that song!
MONDAY
Breakfast with Anamaria, Jon and Sandy in Old Port
Last day in LE PALMIERS Club and Rose once again..
Our waiter and our beach clothing supplier
Anamaria and John
Delicious lunch at LE PALMIERS
Last party at NIKKI Beach
On one hand I was sad, on the other I think my body could not take Rose any more...
Last look at the sunset over the OLD PORT of St Tropez :-(
SPECIAL THANKS FOR ONE OF MY BEST HOLIDAYS EVER TO; Vincent and Sandy!
