Way to go—you nearly forgot! The one day dedicated to the woman who carried you, raised you, and continues to stay up all night worrying about you...and you’ve got nothing. Yes, Mother’s Day is almost here (it’s Sunday, May 12, if you’re really lost) and you need a gift for Mom. But no more sulking. The days, hours, and minutes are ticking down, and you’ve got to think of something fast. If you don’t, you’ll be thrown to the bottom of the sibling power rankings. Lucky for you, there are plenty of useful last-minute gifts. |

Walking through the lobby of the Fairmont hotel in Monaco, home to the Backgammon World Championship, is like striding through an aquarium. Well-tended women, summa cum laude graduates of the Ivanka Trump School of Advanced Moisturizing, move through the first-floor casino as if in schools, their older boyfriends, many of them Russian, in tow. Call girls, only slightly less well tended, perch on couches and sip cocktails from long straws. There’s a throwback bad-taste glamour here in Monte Carlo, the Las Vegas of Europe. Yet the Fairmont, in its way, is an up-to-date sin palace. |
