There is a wonderful historic hotel in Scottsdale called the Valley Ho.  

Restored to its mid-century glory, my family loves staying there.  A feature my older son cannot get enough of is the blue-green spotlight that shines down on the bathtub in each of the rooms.

My husband and I lucked into a couple nights away during the holidays one year and we spent them at the Valley Ho.  The blue light over the bathtub must have been inspiring – I got these metallic turquoise Jimmy Choos on that trip.

The Blue Medusa Cocktail is perfect for sipping while wearing my lovely turquoise stilettos.  As I am writing this it occurs to me that I’ve never sipped this cocktail in the bathtub while wearing those Jimmy Choos.

Well, never say never.
