The Nantucket Project

What an incredible journey! This year’s Nantucket Project brought in the best and the brightest writers, politicians, artists, and world leaders to the island of Nantucket for a whirlwind week that was certainly a meeting of the minds.

It was fabulous to hear so many successful people tell their stories. Norman Lear, creator of All in the Family, The Jeffersons and Good Times, took us through his groundbreaking career in television. At 94 years old, he is still producing: He just wrapped a 13 episode show for Netflix that premieres January 2nd. It’s a cuban version of One Day At a Time, starring Rita Moreno. I can’t wait to watch – she’s been a client and a friend for years!

Acclaimed actor Paul Giamatti, known for his work in Sideways, the HBO series John Adams and more, is currently traveling the country with his project called Theater of Wars. He and his fellow actors are performing Greek Tragedies for veterans all over the United States.

Another voice taking the stage was two-time Olympic gold medalist Hope Solo, the best goal-keeper in the world. She now has a new goal: fighting for equal pay for women. Monica Lewinsky is an anti-bullying ambassador, focusing her activism on preventing cyberbullying. Seeing so many strong women gave me such a thrill for the future.

For all the inspiring women, there were certainly hard-working men as well. Tom Scott is the man who made it all happen, and it was such a joy to meet the founder of the Nantucket Project. Deepak Chopra was on hand to help us all harness our chi and align our chakras, representing a voice for alternative medicine. Gordon Gund startedFoundation Fighting Blindness, dedicated to helping those who are losing their site. Through his research he has been able to reverse the blindness of seven children worldwide, and one of them was interviewed live at the event! The eyes of the audience were as wet as the coastal weather.

Summer Sparks

Have you ever wanted to dance on a rooftop while watching the sunset over the sea?

I’ll never forget tapping my toes on the Whaling Museums beautiful rooftop observation deck while I watched the sun dip into the waters of the Nantucket coastline. The Nantucket Historical Association is hosting more fabulous summer events on their gorgeous roof, so if you missed this party, there are more to come!

Rooftop Party

On July 14th, the Nantucket Preservation Society hosted the Summer Lecture and Luncheon. Attendees dined and enjoyed a talk from authors Hutton Wilkinson and Flynn Kuhnert, as they detailed their new book set titled A Walk to Elsie’s, which chronicles one of the most famous interior designers of the 20th century.

Bonnie with the authors.

It’s been so fabulous to attend the summertime community events of Nantucket and see all the fabulous women wearing B-L-T! It was like a mini fashion show at the Artist’s Association of Nantucket dinner party. Way to “B,” ladies!

Fourth of July

What better place to celebrate our nation’s birthday than one of its historic islands! Nantucket is an absolutely magical place to have the Fourth of July.

Downtown Main Street becomes the hub for all kinds of patriotic themed events.There are pie-eating contests, games, and of course a parade! It’s a wonder to witness all the beautiful houses in bloom.

The annual fireworks display on Jetties Beach is so fabulous, and it seems like each year is better than the year before! Flags are hanging high from all the homes, and everyone is having picnics on the beach. I like to enjoy the spectacle with a nice bottle of rosé.

I’m now on island for the summer season, so be sure to schedule your stylist appointment by calling me at (917) 209 – 0516 or emailing bonnie@bonnieroseman.com. Don’t forget to wear your patriotic combination of red, white and blue for the holiday!

Nantucket Film Festival

I am so exited for this year’s annual Nantucket Film Festival! Founded by the brother-sister team Jill and Jonathan Burkhart ten years ago, NFF has blossomed into a prestigious event attended by visitors from all over the world. This year’s treasure trove of films look especially grand!

Annabelle Hooper and the Ghosts of Nantucket will have its world premiere at the festival. It looks to be a fun family feature spotlighting some of the island’s oldest legends: in this case, the “Widow in White,” a famous island ghost story.

From director Ryan White, documentary film Serena traces the unstoppable career of tennis champion Serena Williams – how does she handle all the pressure, and the fame?

There will be documentary shorts, narrative shorts, and even film shorts for kids. One of my favorite events to attend is Morning Coffee With… Each day of the festival, comedian Eddie Brill hosts a fun chat between writers and directors attending the festival, and it is always as insightful as it is lively.

When putting together a wardrobe for a creative event such as a film festival, I like to have a little fun! Since the opening night feature film is Finding Dory, I will select pieces as colorful and textured as the coral reefs, to celebrate the undersea adventure.

The early summer weather in Nantucket could be anything! It can start out chilly, and then warm up, and then get cold….You have to be prepared to have a layered look. It’s best to pack along a lightweight coat, a cashmere sweater, and a scarf to “tie” your look together.

Spring is in full bloom here in Palm Beach, and so is the cultural scene this month, packed with music, art and fashion events, as abundant as the gorgeous flowers!

I am in love with Mother Nature!

It was a treat to go to the Coral Springs Museum and view Yuroz’s new works on canvas. I am always inspired by nature when it comes to my fashion designing, so it was amazing to see an artist’s use of color with Nature as the subject! Thank you to Lauri Welteroth for introducing me to this talent and to Bruce Helander for putting on such a fabulous exhibit of new works by Yuroz at the Coral Springs Museum.  Don’t miss this show, ending May 28th.

Yuroz Exhibition – Coral Springs Museum

The Culture and Cocktails series ended on a high note, musically speaking!  Three top pianists of the cabaret world, David Crohan, Copeland Davis and Wayne Hosford, performed in fine form on instruments that were each a work of art.
