Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes, cards and presents I have received. I feel truly blessed to see another birthday and to be this healthy and happy in my life. I have such wonderful, amazing friends and now the family I’ve always wanted. Ronn and the girls made me minestrone soup and salad last night, we then watched the movie, “Bolt” and I finally got a full 8 hours of sleep, so I feel totally rested. Unfortunately, Ronn is working late today, so I’m alone all day because the kids go back to their mom’s. So I plan to get my nails done and pamper myself. We have a busy weekend of parties, so having a relaxing day to myself is good. I may even go and have a scrumptious lunch and see a movie or go shopping, but I will enjoy my day today. Glad you all are enjoying the pics from Sanremo, more are coming later from Monaco, Amsterdam, Bordeaux and Paris. Ronn just bought a new video camera that doesn’t require video tapes, it has a chip, so it’s easy to load and edit. This will be so cool for future video clips that will be adding to our sites. Here are couple more pics Ronn shot of me Loire Valley, France.
Love Devin
It was a sad day today as we said farewell to Ed McMahon. He will always be a special memory for me for he was the one who gave me my $100,000 check when I won “Star Search” and I had the honor of appearing on Johnny Carson with him. Ed was a down to earth warm person. It was sad to see the struggles he had just before he died and the horrible injury he endured. He is surely someone fixed in my childhood memories. I wish his family peace and send my love and blessings to his soul. Rest in peace my friend.
Finally we are back online in the London airport heading home today. It was hard to distinguish the Internet in France since both Ronn and I don’t read French or speak it. We have decided we want to learn and have already started with a few basics. Our time last night in Paris was magical. We walked for hours taking in the Louve, corner cafes, shopping and a romantic dinner before saying goodbye to our now favorite city together. Everywhere we went, people recognized Ronn and asked for pics and autographs. Even the female taxi driver in little town of Onzain, which was near Lorie Valley asked for his autograph. The women at the counter where we exchanged dollars for Euros did also. Seems I can’t go anywhere with him without this happening. The security guys in the Louve asked for a photo with him. The chef at Loire Valley who prepared the best french meal we have ever experienced asked for an autograph for his mother! Will post pics from this dinner later, it was a work of art! The show is very well the most watched in the world, that’s for sure. At one point we had people from Italy, France, Morocco and Zanzabare asking for autographs and pics! We both have very much enjoyed this vacation and consider it one of our best. But, we are missing home now and can’t wait to see Nayo, Romeo and the girls. I’m glad you guys got to share some of our trip from our blogs here. Will post more pics and we are working on our video from the whole trip on our plane ride back.
After having some amazing tastings in the chateaus of LaGrange, Margaux and Lynch Bages in the Medoc region of Bordeaux and then experiencing some chateaus of the St. Emilion region, home of Petrus. Ronn was fascinated with the wine education he had and found we both loved the older wines from the Medoc, but still appreciated the Merlot blends of St. Emilion just as much. We bought a few bottles to keep for the future, as well as a few to drink now. 2005 was a great year for all of Bordeaux and we fell in love with LaGrange and savored a bottle in our room while catching up on emails in our lovely room we had in this 18th century chateau. So I can safely say, Ronn is very relaxed now and loving France. We both want to learn French and can’t wait to go to Loire Valley, which is so beautiful today. We will stay in another 18th century chateau and visit one more vineyard today there before returning on Friday for our final day in Paris. Then it’s back home on Saturday. So far this has been an amazing trip. We have shot lots of video and we are organizing the clips together for an edited DVD to share soon. Will try to take more pics to post later.
After a grueling week of press and gala functions, Ronn was ready for a much needed vacation. The last press interview was in Amsterdam. We had a wonderful time in Amsterdam and visited with a long time friend of Ronn’s, Amanda. Amanda and some of her friends took us to dinner and we got to experience herring, which is very popular. A stop in the red light district was funny when Ronn would walk by windows of girls recognizing him. I checked out the coffee shops and we both admired the beauty of this amazing city. Ronn and I both would love to see Player kick off a European tour in Amsterdam. Paris has always been one of my favorite cities. It had a been a while since I’d been there, over 10 years to be exact, so I figured what better place to visit with Ronn, especially since he informed me that he had only been there twice and didn’t really remember much about it.They say, you should only go to Paris with someone you love, so it was great to share walking the stairs of the Eiffel tower and shopping on the Champs’ Elysee’. We both love red wines and since I’d been to Bordeaux before and found the train ride from Paris to Bordeaux to be quite pleasant; I suggested this as a good alternative the tremendous amount of driving Ronn does daily. He was so relaxed, he slept the entire three hour train ride! We are staying in a private 1780 Chateau that is ironically owned by a Dutch family. It is so relaxing, beautiful and peaceful and we were greeted with a wonderful bottle of wine and cheese to kick start our day tomorrow of wine tastings in some of the best regions. 
and consider taking charge of your health and well being. I promise you will not be disappointed. 
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would love pole dancing as much as I do. I have never been the most athletic person, but found this cool studio and have been addicted. It was so challenging at first for me and I had bruises on my legs for nearly a year. But, once I got the moves down, it was so much fun and the best exercise ever! My whole body was sore at first, but then I built up my upper body strength and my core with pilates, and now I’m flying around that pole two to three times a week. Pole dancing has become a part of my life now and I highly suggest it if you want to get flexable and build strength and confidence. My goal is get my body in the best shape ever and have fun doing it, so I think I’m achieving that now. Ronn and I still work out together at the gym a couple days a week, which is always fun, but I can’t believe how much I have already achieved with pole dancing. So if you haven’t tried it, you don’t know what you are missing. Check out
