XOXO XOJET and BENTLEY

Whether on the road or in the sky, there are some who demand (and can afford) the best. Last night, in a gleaming white hangar, the two came together. Paul Miller Bentley unveiled America's first 2012 Bentley Continental GT and guests were invited to board XOJet's Bombardier Challenger 300.
There were show girls from Caesars Atlantic City, Double Cross Vodka flowed and DJ Shughes provided a great soundtrack for the evening.

Ship Her Out

She'd walk on water (if she could) or swim in the coldest pool (she has) for you- - what are you going to do for her? May we suggest a water related activity of a different caliber for Mother's Day? One that won't muse her hair –– an elegant cruise around Manhattan aboard the Spirit of New York or the Bateaux.
