Most intriguing. So...who's that girl? None other than Mary-Louise Parker of Showtime Weeds fame (and two of our favorite chick flicks, Fried Green Tomatoes and Boys on the Side). Many on Twitter guessed that "Cherry Cola" was Rihanna, but although RiRi is from Barbados and therefore would have Chanize 2011-03-11T15:10:24-05:00 Beaucoup Beach Amenities at the Newly Reopened Four Seasons Resort Nevis http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/3/10/132759/593 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/FSpeeka.jpg" class="top"> Today we continue our coverage (see yesterday's story <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/3/9/134549/5159/hotels/Cabana_Time_Peaking_Inside_the_Renovated_Four_Seasons_Resort_Nevis">here</a>) of the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/FOUR+SEASONS+NEVIS/local/1825">Four Seasons Nevis</a> re-opening.

When the announcement came that the FS was definitely reopening in December 2010, at the tail end of a recession, we wondered if all would be the same.
