Barney's New York
Barneys creative director Simon Doonan.
Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2010 | 12:05 a.m.
Mastermind behind some of the most irreverently brilliant window displays in the world, Simon Doonan has served as creative director of Barneys for more than two decades. Not only is the venerable Doonan a creative genius, but "Beautiful People," his memoirs based on his zany childhood growing up in Reading, England, was turned into a television show in the U.K.
The fashionably fabulous Doonan recently shared with "Las Vegas Magazine" what makes Sin City so fantastic.
Canyon Ranch SpaClub: I don't actually climb the 40-foot rock wall; I get on the stair climber and just stare at it and fantasize about being on the wall.
Barbie Suite by Jonathan Adler: I have to go over to the Palms and check up on the Barbie suite and do a little bit of light feather dusting.
Jersey Boys: I'm not the youngest boy on the planet, so I remember when all of the (Four Seasons) songs came out. It brings me back to the '60s.
Liberace Museum: I always get a bit teary when I go to the museum ... all the sequins. People should get down and lick the carpet with gratitude for the fabulousness that was Liberace. Actually, Jonathan Adler and I named our dog Liberace.
