Pictures From Fire Island

I could not think of a better way to celebrate my 40th birthday than to spend a weekend in Fire Island with friends. My partner Nathan Williams and event planner Nathan Scott organized the event, and it surpassed my wildest expectations. I told my Nathan that I didn't want a stuffy party where everyone stood around the pool and looked pretty. I wanted people to jump in the water, hop in the hot tub and enjoy the day. And that they did.
Without a doubt, this was the best birthday party I'd ever had and the best birthday gift I'd ever received. Check out the photos and see for yourself.
