"Selfies" a dangerous practice

There is a great story behind this picture. I was spending a day at Lake Gregory. It was another great day at the North Shore Beach. Warm sun, cool clean lake water and plenty of Coke Zero to keep me hydrated.  

 I was in heaven, I was just taking it all in.  It was a Picture perfect day! So I took a picture, or two, or three, of my self. I was just trying to get a good picture of me with the lake in the background and hopefully a picture of me without someone bending over with their butt in my pix. 

After a few shots of myself I stopped to look at my pictures to review what I taken to find the best picture to post. It was a fairly busy day at the lake and the beach was full of beach goers. I was reviewing my pix  when a young lifeguard approached me. " excuse me sir, you are not allowed to take pictures of other people" 

I was so taken off guard I just looked at him totally confused and said "OTHER PEOPLE" "Yes" he said "It  very much looked like to me that you were taking a picture of those people over there" I told him that I had reversed the lens on my phone camera and  was photographing myself. "Oh sorry" he said then went to the group of people to my right to tell them of the misunderstanding. 

My first thought was CONCEDED MUCH! as I looked over at the group of beach goers who were complaining. Believe me they were no work of art. I felt like some kind of pervert photographing babes at the beach. I myself have a tendency to not pay much attention to the goings on of the other people around me. Someone could be taking my picture and I  would even be aware of it or care. 

So a word to the wise be careful when doing a Selfie. And If you ever find yourself with nothing to do and lots of time to do it in. Go visit Lake Gregory in Crestline CA.

Away from the lake as I now look at the picture in question the real crime in this picture are the wrinkled rings around my turkey neck. You could cut my head off and count the rings to find out how old I am.

I give the Lake 5 lizard tails up and as always I hope your life is filled with Sweet Suntanned Cash Filled Dreams.

Palm Springs Pools Partys

Lets go retro! I'm a Rat Pack at heart. The Riviera Hotel Palm Springs is the place to be. From the moment you walk into the lobby you can almost feel the vibrations of song from Sammy,Dean and Old Blue Eyes.

 At the beginning of each new year I like to hit the desert resorts. One of my favorite haunts is the newly renovated and very circa 50,s Riviera. Winter is when the desert goes into full swing. 

This year lots of new restaurant's and hotels to explore. Desert living is in full color. There,s nothing a don't like about this resort. I'm a fan. when I die I'm going to live here.

The hotel by its own definition is opulent. 
 And, yes it is and I love it! There are two pools one is called the Chiki Bar. The main pool has lots of sun anywhere you sit, and the water is warm and clean. The bar tender at the pool keeps my glass filled with diet coke. As you may know I'm very sensitive to my surroundings. I cant be comfortable in an ugly environment, Visually this hotel is a 10! 



 The Spa Terre is the main attraction for me. Pictured here is the Buddha Room. $25.00 buys a day pass at the Spa. The Pass includes spa amenities as well as access to the main pool, food and bar services. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. You feel very welcomed. 

They treat Everyone like a VIP. I like to think of myself as VIP I'm not of course however I do suffer from an acute case of grandeur. Its so nice of the Riviera to indulge my eccentrics.  

When the sun goes down and I,m dining at the hotels Circa 59 restaurant I wear this Lizard Ricky dress T,sport coat and tan slacks I'm ready for the "after tan" celebration. 









From the lizards pool side desk I wish all Lounge Lizards Sweet sun tanned cash filled dreams. Visit the Palm Springs, CA. Iconic Riviera hotel and spa soon. Tell them the Lizard Ricky sent you.

Google Storenvy/Lizard Ricky for shirts.

• Mama Hooters (my wife) and I were recently down in Florida,"The Sunshine State" A sun worshippers paradise. HOWEVER !......This trip the sun was M.I.A. It rained almost everyday. It rained so much that Mama Hooters and i began to loose our good sense on humor. However, We have a vacation routine. When the sun is out so are we, when its not WE SHOP. This trip was no different. Millenia Mall just south of Orlando is one of my favorite malls anywhere. All the big stores are there. Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's etc, So on this shopping trip I told hooters (mama hooters) I wanted to buy a new suit. I said i have never bought a real good upscale suit and i would like to buy a Burberry suit. She asked how much that might cost. I told her $300-$350. That's pretty good I thought it would cost about $500. she said. I'm thinking GREAT now I got a new limit.  We went to the Burberry store and looked at what they had but the selection was poor. So we went to Bloomingdale's still nothing impressed me. Last stop, Neiman Marcus. With hooters in tow right behind me I ran strait to the Swim Suits department. hooters commented that we had just passed the Men's suits and why were looking at Swim suits. I told her I was talking about a new "Swim Suit" You're going so spend $300 on a new swim suit! I thought you meant business suit. hooters said. 

The salesman pulled out a light blue pair of Vilebrequin swim trunks.  Hooters was immediately taken by the Tiffany's jewelers shade of blue. "how much is this suit" she asked. $240.00 said the salesman. I tried on the suit, it was gorgeous! that blue against my tan skin was breath taking if i say so myself. As the salesman was ringing up the trunks he said to me "are you aware of how they work? I have no idea what he was talking about. He then said "are you aware of the features" of these trunks. Now i was intrigued "FEATURES" on a pair of swim trunks. 

Yes! he replied the trunks are a solid blue when they are dry but when they get wet they have a pattern. Flowers, sea turtles and other designs come out when the trunks are wet. 

As you can see from the photo at the top of the page the Velbrequin swim trunk makes a splash around the pool at the Ritz Carlton Orlando. Yes it was expensive, even ridiculous to spend that kind of money on a pair of swim trunks. The irony of it is that hooters thought I was buying a business suit and for me it was. I sell resort wear, I sell leisure. When I'm at the pool, I am at work. I cant be taken seriously wearing a pair of JOE AVERAGE SIX PACK BOARD SHORTS purchased from Walmart.

So as you can clearly see from the picture of me up top sporting the Velbrequin swim trunk from Saint-Tropez, is that I look fetching around the pool without a care in the world except for what to do about my sagging breasts.

And As always from the lizard to you may you always have Happy suntanned cash filled Dreams.

Happy New Year

 Happy New Year from Lake Arrowhead! "The weather is here wish you were beautiful". The lizard and family brought in the new year at Woody's on the lake in Arrowhead Village. As you can see the sun was out and the sky was blue. Lake Arrowhead Resort is next to Arrowhead village and has a wonderful spa. Spa of the Pines. We summer in the mountains and have found The Spa of the Pines to have several options for membership and services for the summer crowd. I give the resort 4 lizard tails up. I would give it 5 but the lake being at over 5500 ft altitude towards the end of the day cools winds can come up and make it a bit cool. And for a die hard sun worshiper cool weather when tanning is out of the question.  

Today I'm wearing my "GOT A LIZARD IN YOUR POCKET" shirt. On the front of the shirt is a lizard Ricky inside a faux pocket, with the witty quip on back.

This shirt always starts a conversation.

Vegas baby Vegas

From the Sage of Sun, The Sultan of Tan, The Liege of Leisure. Tahiti Village! one of my favorite pools in Vegas.

QUESTION: So what makes a pool a fav, by the Lizards standard . 

Oh! cripes!  so many factors. where do i begin. Water first and foremost without the water I'm pretty much screwed. The water, essential for a good pool. Water temp, also very important. I don't like to flinch getting in. One needs to be cool when upon entering the pool. and by cool i mean how i look. you know, my strut! when i stand up from my chair its important that my swim suit isn't stuck up my crack.  Lounges, the actual outdoor furniture that I'm sitting on. i prefer a chair as opposed  to a chase lounge.  i  like sitting upward so a pool with lots of chairs wins another tail up. 5 tails up is the highest rating you can get. MUSIC! there,s another big variable. i bring my own. most pools may not provide music and if they do depending on the clientele its not music i would enjoy.  Jimmy Buffet anything is my favorite. Downloads to my phone of many variety's can be heard coming from my phone however being a loyal parrot head, James buffet is my all time best sound. 

aesthetics oh so important! the view. I'm very visual, the scenery must be pleasing to my taste. the fastest way to spoil and good pool day is offending my visual pallet. surprisingly i don't mind children. The little bastards can be very entertaining. most hotels worth a second look will provide nice landscaping. PEOPLE! i love a pool filled with people. i could sit all day and people watch. However this is an area in which i wish to watch my literary step. I don,t wish to offend! So i will side step the people subject by saying what i look for are conversations with pool mates around Places of travel, Dining, Shopping and Must see Local stops. 

Lastly, Loads of Sun, Food, Drink and a great Gift Shop. I give the Tahiti Village, Vegas 5 lizard tails up.

And as always From my pool to yours may your life be filled with sweet suntanned cash filled dreams.
