The Belair Ashram
Hosted an international Swami from Maharashtra, India at the retreat. Dude and Honey realized they were lovers in a previous life and that Honey was destined to be Queen of Mars.

POSH PENTHOUSE
In their posh penthouse Dude holds up various paintings..an Italian oil, Vintage Kama Sutra prints and self portraits. Honey, a gallery owner, is very critical as where each framed work will be displayed. She believes that the old and the new should be juxtaposed which makes the collection visually more stimulating. By the way, Dude and Honey do not favor going to auctions but instead to be personally invited to art happenings and artists’ studios. They find it fascinating to discover talent prior to their appearance on the world stage and then with the exaggeration of prices. As their expertise is valued and for a handsome fee, they guide their acquaintances in making perfect selections. They are connoisseurs. Their Scottish terrier – Ruby – joins in the action. Note she fits right in with the decor.
The rage of the moment …..pink and black decor.

MARFA, TEXAS
Can you possibly imagine an art haven out in West Texas with a population on a good day of just under 3,000 folks, one traffic light and where creative souls reside. Musicians, painters, photographers and film makers live in this community just under 4,000 feet above sea level. It is near the Big Bend region where the living is quiet, easy, and meditative.
And can you envision an …a sculptural art installation of a store in this remote region that draws tourists from all over the world. Dude and Honey start with a visit to this attraction and overnight at the Hotel Paisano where the legendary actors stayed while filming Giant in 1956. Yes indeed…James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson.
As known and established art connoisseurs, they will guest lecture on their collection. The next day they visit the grounds and buildings once established by a very famous world class minimalist artist. Situated on a pre-existing military base, they walk the outdoor areas and indoor buildings. It is all a very magical setting especially observing how the shadows change on the sculptures during daylight. Dude remarks: Honey we were wise to purchase his work at auction.
They visit everything possible to view and the locals to meet…then leave… It is a small community and a helicopter is on standby to fly them out of the Lone State
An unlikely place in the middle of the desert to view contemporary art BUT GO GO GO!

Safari
Sitting around a campfire at 6:30am and after breakfast, they leave their luxurious campsite. Dude and Honey set out on their first safari. Led by a Samburu guide spear in hand they sit atop an elephant. It will be an “up close” encounter tramping through the bush in search of big game animals and birds. The panorama is stunning. The early morning light is dazzling as the sun rises into the horizon. Their guide is on foot and clad in beaded necklaces with a colorful cotton wrap around his waist. He is tall and lean. As luck would have it, a rare white rhino, cheetah, and gazelle come into view. They sit in silence to observe the animals. They go on safari the following day and observe a live kill…a lion chasing and capturing a gazelle. Honey turns her head to avoid watching the scene. Could any trip be more dangerous, more exciting, more thrilling than an African Safari.
-
Beaded Adornments
In the afternoon, their safari guide invites Honey to meet with the women of the Samburu tribe. She wants to buy or barter for beaded adornments. . . to be all the rage back home. They sit on the ground – with a blanket underneath – and Honey tries on an array of neckwear. The colors of the jewelry are heightened by the beauty of the women and the brownish terrain.
Dude decides to walk around the camp site and enter a mud and stick dwelling.
A tribesman escorts him and speaks of their love of singing and dancing, herding of goats and cows, and consumption of blood drawn from livestock. Milk and blood are their two main protein food staples. And, circumcisions – but we will not discuss this TMI subject in detail – occur when the males are teenagers. This initiation into male hood is a glorified tribal event.
Never underestimate the allure of crafts from other cultures. Let your individuality shine!

PUMPIN’ GAS
Honey and Dude’s chauffeur Mr. Paul stops for gas and on a lark Honey decides she wants to fill the Bentley’s tank up. Being highly spirited she jumps out of the car and thinks how do I do this? Dah. She props herself up against the fuel tank and poses like she is in a photo shoot. An attendant appears and pumps the gas. The next vehicle will be electric. Ah, she sighs with a gracious smile – Thank You!
When in doubt act helpless and ask for assistance.

RINGSIDE
With unbridled fanfare Atanasio – The Immortal and his challenger to the World Heavy Weight Championship Boxing Match parade into the arena. The boxers are garbed in outrageously colorful and sequined robes, with hip hop music blasting, and their entourage in tow. The crowd is boisterous. They are standing and screaming and rooting for their Fav. The tension is palpable. Dude and Honey join in with all the hoopla. After all, they paid $100,000 per tix to be apart of the scene. Honey is totally enamored with the fighters’ physiques – a sure fire turn on…their musculature is taut and lean. Round One the boxers begin to spar, stare each other down and prance around the ring – which she thinks is seductive. Hell, Dude we need to pump up our arms and add kick boxing in our weekly routine at the gym.
They personally want to meet with the winner of the Belt and get a signed glove.

Clairvoyant
Once a year Dude and Honey seek the advice and insights of a clairvoyant. All three peer into the crystal ball of the famed Madame Esmeralda and await her readings. She is renowned. She is clever. She has an innate talent. She lives in the outskirts of Bohemia to which Dude and Honey make their journey. She speaks. Her words foretell of a special invitation in which they will mingle with other celebrities. Dude and Honey are beyond speechless. Her psychic visions predict a year filled with good fortune, wealth, and especially notoriety.
A gypsy awaits you. Her sageness is wise.

PURA VIDA
High above the rain forrest in Costa Rica, Dude and Honey enjoy the fast paced action of zooming on zip lines. They move from one platform to another and end up at waterfalls and land in pools of refreshing water. Whew this is so much fun! More adventure in the days to follow: scuba diving, soaking in hot springs, visiting Arenal Volcano and Corcovado National Park. Everywhere they go, they are greeted with the saying PURA VIDA – meaning No Worries, to Happiness, and The Good Life. En route to the canopy tour, they see their first sloth. “They look so cuddly” says Dude but not as cuddly as you – Honey.
Soar above gorgeous scenery and relish the vista. PURA VIDA!
-
Magic Mushroom
Long before and still while dating Dude and Honey ventured out onto the streets of Philadelphia. And, lo and behold, gasp – gasp – gasp they both went non compos mentis viewing a huge black fiberglass mushroom sculpture in a gallery window. Measuring about 5’ high and 6’ wide, it was a “must have” purchase. Could it be considered their first major art acquisition. Hell no! Not even close! Just a great conversation piece and for great merrymaking. . . Remembering the early years, the “mushroom” is staged on the their property in a guest house near the pool and outdoor spa. From time to time they luxuriate underneath and remember past adventures with a nod to new ones yet to be realized. Ah, Pura Vida they both sigh!
It is never too late to reminisce. Let the good times roll.

Vatican City
Alessio their private guide escorts Dude and Honey to view the Pieta symbolizing Virgin Mary cradling her son Jesus at Saint Peters Basilica. Pieta’s meaning represents Pity or Compassion. Dude and Honey marvel at the sculpture carved out of a single block of Carrara marble. They are impressed and momentarily mournful and delight in seeing Michelangelo’s masterpiece created from 1498 to 1499 during the Italian Renaissance. The Swiss Guard in his colorful uniform adds to their viewing pleasure. Honey thinks he is Uomo bramoso..
Alessio then says he has arranged an exclusive after hour tour of the Pope’s private quarters. Except for a few dignitaries milling around and the Swiss Guards, Dude and Honey are the only ones there. The Pope is not at Vatican City. Dude lies on the floor and with his new digital camera takes videos and stills of the murals with a focus on the ceiling frescoes. Honey is beside herself marveling at the paintings …gasping at the intricacies and depictions of the scenes. Her favorite painting is the powerful scene of the Creation of Adam. Having spent an hour, they are ushered into the Pope’s private chambers and view his elevator, Papal Throne, balcony where he waves and blesses the crowd. But Honey is blown away when Alessio pulls out the drawers of the Pope’s vestments which are bejeweled, woven with gold and silk threads and are simply breath taking.
She then announces: Dude, I am ready for il desinare! ANDIAMO for Carciofi fritti, Insalata di Rucola, Carbonara, accompanied with Rosso di Montalcino.
Needless to say, always hire the best private guide one who comes highly recommended and book well in advance.

Komodo Island
On an Indonesian Island in its National Park reside Komodo “dragons”. They are huge measuring up to 10 feet in length and can weigh 150 to 365 pounds. Being predators and using their powerful and muscular jaws they like to feast on deer, pigs, buffalo and yes have even devoured human beings. Their bites are venomous due to toxic bacteria in their saliva! And death ensues. And so why are Dude and Honey going to this destination? Because it is a World Unesco Heritage Site with world class snorkeling and scuba diving in the surrounding waters. Their park ranger leads them around the island until one is spotted. When just 10 feet away, the guide gives Dude a tall forked wooden stick to be used as a restraint, if necessary. WHOA! Honey is paralyzed and scared and can barely breathe. With unbound bravado, Dude stands by the Komodo dragon for a photo opportunity with his Honey.
-
Snorkeling
The reefs and snorkeling around Komodo Island have pristine beaches and spectacular sapphire waters which beckon tourists for the rich and varied marine life. As the tale goes, three stranded divers survived by eating shell fish and warding off a dragon by using stones and weights from their gear. They survived! The ocean waters are powerful and the currents are strong – you must remain vigilant looking out for dragons near the shore line and waters! They are fierce predators.

Interview
As I understand, this is your first appearance on national TV. How do you explain your notoriety.
Honey: Dude, I will answer first! Simply put we are influencers. We are
unabashedly vocal about giving opinions and standing out in a crowd.Dude: What can I say, we enjoy being outrageous and noticed. After all, who would purchase a large black fiberglass mushroom for their living quarters.
Tell the viewing audience about your backgrounds. We know you met at the Belair Ashram, but little is known prior to that encounter.
Honey: Ah, me. My parents were hippies from the prairie and we roamed around the states in a broken down RV. My so-called camper education gave me insights that I did not want to be poor nor hidden away in some. God – forsaken place. I saw the light when my grandparents told me about Woodstock and Big City Life. Presently, my parents are crashed out in Portland. Probably stoned all day and selling junk at flea markets.
Dude: I was raised in the Australian Outback. My parents are ranchers
and my “mum” is a photographer by avocation. I am fortunate to have a college education and studied music and design. But living life to the fullest has ever – widened my ambitions. Periodically I will return to Aussie Land.Do you have Any personal sayings. I heard somewhere the term Honeyspeak.
Honey: Ta Da and Looks Good / Feels Good.
You have a pet scottie named Ruby, will you add another puppy?
Dude: I have always desired having pet seals and would name the male Leo and the female Lola. Imagine your guests being greeted with a balanced tray of drinks on our seals’ noses.
Honey: By the way, the seal’s whiskers are aids to keeping objects balanced.
How Very Butler-esque!
Last question for today. Do you have a bucket list….sorry that is such a Cliche….things to do, places to go? You already have done so much..
Dude: Next time, Buddy.

Policia
Mientras que en Lima, Perú visitando sitios notables y antes de ir a Cusco, Valle Sagrado, y Machu Picchu, Honey ve a un hombre guapo, uno de los muchos que hacen guardia en el Palacio de Gobierno.

Andean Adventure
From Cusco – 11,152’ above sea level to the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu and inhaled oxygen along the way accompanied with coca leaves tea, Dude and Honey experience a luxury Peruvian journey. Most exciting Dude and Honey spend four days with expert guides Glamping on the Inca Trail. The provisions are superb…luxe tents, hot water showers, inflatable mattresses, multi course gourmet meals and a massage therapist on hand. Honey says this is the only way she would go. The trek leads them to Machu Picchu and after a nights rest, they explore the architecture, elevations, and views of this ancient Incan retreat almost 8,000 ft. high. They’re somewhat acclimatized and especially after having their bodies wrapped in coca leaves followed by a massage. Good for exfoliation, altitude sickness, detoxing and good for feeling a bit high! The last day they climb Mt. Picchu. Take every precaution to avoid altitude sickness by sipping coca tea and inhaling puffs from an oxygen tank. PURA VIDA.
And don’t even try the guinea pig no matter how it is prepared!
But if you do – you are able to select one that is alive and ready to be skinned, seasoned and cooked!

Sing - Sing
When on tour in New Guinea, Dude and Honey have the experience of a life- time. Flying in small planes to utterly remote and primitive places, they experience tribal villages – some previously inhabited by headhunters if not cannibals on the Sepik River to the Highlands where the Wigmen / Hulis live. With New Guinea’s steep terrain it is assumed that there are pockets of tribes yet to be discovered in the dense jungles. Imagine around 600 tribes and 850 tribal languages in this part of the world. Dude and Honey’s adventure starts in Mt. Hagen home to an annual Sing – Sing – a festival of dancing, singing, and distinctive and colorful outfits on show. The make-up, the birds of paradise feathers, the self – crafted adornments are a huge WOW. Surprisingly most of the outfits are made from natural materials. It is a HAPPENING like none other. Dude, stand still you are not the center of attention this time! Honey, you are such a great photographer!
-
BIG DADDY
It is a given, Dude and Honey are enamored with adventure travel and immersive experiences. Anything out of the ordinary suits them just fine. Hell, everyone goes to Europe. Been there done that. So off to Southern Namibia a god forsaken and desolate place that looks like a mars landscape. First they land in Windhoek the capital, overnight, and the next morning take a private charter to Sossusvlei – known as BIG DADDY one of the many sand dunes in the Namibia. They trek and quad bike relishing the sheer height of this dune approximately 1,000 feet high. Hey Dude, the other day I saw four tourists sliding down a smaller dune on their derrières … not for me..it would ruffle my feathers. Right! Dude let’s race and give me a head start so I can win!
You don’t need to be an Evel Knievel to be a dare devil and experience the thrill of cavorting in a barren landscape.
-
Himba Tribe
Then off to Kunene Region in Northern Namibia home of the semi nomadic Himba tribe. They arrive by light aircraft and jeep to a remote luxury camp bordering the Angola border. Dude and Honey are totally off the grid and love it. There are only 8 separate lodges. Then off to visit the Himba. OMG – The women are strikingly beautiful with their bodies and hair covered with a red paste of Otjize-aromatic resin, butter fat, and red ochre. Their hair is covered in mud and styled traditionally. Of note they are adorned with jewelry and are artisans of ostrich shell necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Honey is going to buy as much of this jewelry as possible and use it in one of her fashion shows…perhaps ones inspired by African motifs. And since the paste supposedly does wonders for the skin, maybe she will try to market it.
The Himba live in domed huts formed out of mud, branches and cow dung. And in a harsh climate and with the lack of potable water, the Himba do not bathe but partake in a daily smoke bath which maintains their personal hygiene. Dude says amazingly there is no distasteful odor.
Thank goodness our guide brought bottles of water in the jeep and a cooler of ice. It is damn hot.
You can travel to exceedingly remote landscapes on the planet and still stay in luxe accommodations. Dude and Honey wouldn’t have it any other way!
-
PADAUNG WOMEN
Dude and Honey relish traveling and have visited destinations both near and far. The Grand Tetons – Lapland – Costa Rica – India, Machu Picchu. They are off to Myanmar and Inle Lake where homes are built on stilts, floating gardens cultivate vegetables and other crops. But their most unusual experience is meeting The Ring Necked Women in a craft shop. The elongated necks are the result of brass rings placed on a girl starting at age five and new ones being coiled through the years. Can you imagine the look is a symbol of beauty and cultural identity and a means to earn money. Honey wonders if their visit is an exploitation to draw tourists. Then she muses is this any different than having inked tattoos, multiple body piercings, enlarged lips or ear lobes, and using the human figure as a canvas for paint, mud, and other natural elements or other extreme cultural manifestations. I think not.
NEVERMIND, I WILL CONTINUE WITH MY OWN SENSE OF EXPRESSION AND STYLE. FLAMBOYANCE!

Boho-Chic
On the grounds of a farm in front of a barn door, Dude and Honey launch her Boho-Chic designs. Her collection is not Punk, Couture Minimalist, Anti – Fashion, Grunge or Rock.

To date, you have experienced so much, what are are you dreaming about Next?
Dude: As I love being a chef, I would like a food network to feature my skills and twists on exotic preparations. One thought to do an all kangaroo meal. The show would start with the ancient Aboriginal way of burying the animal In earthen soil and coals. Kangaroo can also be roasted, stir fried with root vegetables, stir fried with teriyaki and ginger in a wok, grilled sirloin steaks, Chile tacos, and the list goes on. But if the animal rights PROTEST what about my take on Squirrel, Armadillo, Moose? I am GAME!
Honey: Although I have launched my own couture line, there is a fashion house
like none other. The Atelier of Dutch Atelier. Genius. Mesmerizing. Futuristic. Brilliant with the fusion of hi technology and luxurious fabrics I dream of six custom designed outfits. After all we are constantly attending dinner parties and galas.Dude: On the topic of exotic foods, there is a famous Snake Restaurant in Vietnam called NguyenVan Duc…the dinner starts with the beating heart and proceeds to a full multi course meal and at some restaurants you can select your reptile for consumption. Hiss!
Honey: I would faint from having a panic attack. Furthermore, I am frightened
just viewing snakes caged in zoos or pet stores or in the wild. I flee. I would be in heaven to be 007’s Gal in a James Bond Movie. I favor traveling globally to Michelin rated restaurants.Dude: Honey, what about a food truck tour.
Honey: Dude are you out of your F……..mind?!
So you enjoy being in the tabloids?
Dude and Honey: Wouldn’t have it any other way! Silly question!
What haven’t you done and would possibly consider even if it out of character?
Honey: Ride on a float in the Thanksgiving or Rose Bowl Parade but would want Dude to design the set inclusive of props and use my brand Haunt to Flaunt for costumes Hmm let me think..what an unusual question. Dude…your turn.
Dude: Climb Kilimanjaro or Mount Everest with several personal Sherpas.
I see you have a home theater, what do you favor viewing?
Honey: It definitely is not sci-fi or comedy or cartoons/ animations but love – Mystery, Crime – Romance – Thrillers – and old movies featuring glamorous female stars of the late 30’s to 50’s and also Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chan, and The Thin Man. The outfits, the manner of speaking, and the sets are so captivating and alluring. LOVE LOVE LOVE it all.

Passion
After an evening at the “hottest” private (members only) Jazz Club, Dude and Honey play a game which results in heated moments of passion. This scenario of lust results in slow and fast motions, clutching and grabbing until they both pass out. Her gold lame coat with leopard skin trim has been tossed on the floor along with his trousers. Honey says “every female should adorn herself in outer wear that glimmers and sexy undergarments that allure your lover.” Her G-string is the crowning touch! Dude is lustful and deliriously in love. Don’t hold back on your desires!

Holi Festival
After their tenth anniversary shindig, Dude and Honey along with their elitist friends jetset to partake in the Holi Festival of Colors In Jaipur. It is a Hindu age old tradition where thousands of participants from all castes – Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras, and Dalits mingle and celebrate. Vibrant colored powders are thrown into the air and faces are smudged. It is a sight to behold and experience. This riot of colored powders known as Gulal has cultural meanings:
Blue for Krishna, a Hindu deity
Green for rebirth and new beginnings
Red for marriage and fertility
Yellow, the color of turmeric which is the main spice in curry also having medicinal propertiesHoney says “I have never seen the likes of this at a festival. What unrestrained jubilation! I feel so light hearted and filled with joie de vivre.
Let’s return to the Palace and have our bodies scrubbed and cleansed at the spa followed by a warm oiled Abhyanga – an ancient Indian massage. If you wish to feel incredibly hedonistic and totally immersed in an exuberant event, attend a Holi Festival.
जश्न की खुशी
