Having a conversation last week with my daughter on what makes art truly art, we disagreed on a major point: Does a work need to be museum worthy to be recognized as Art? She (and I admit, sometimes I do too) believes that the commercial aspect of the field has re-directed the focus and the quality of what collectors value. I think that if a piece of work brings the viewer pleasure and initiates an … Read More
Today, Empreinte Lingerie joins our Spotlight Partnership, a very special moment for me. I know, first hand, that these intimates are the answer to every large cup woman’s fashion dreams. From the very first time I tried the iconic Melody molded lace cup bra, I was enthralled. Worth every penny from design to engineering, Empreinte bras are an investment in self esteem. The brand, a powerhouse presence globally, has made huge inroads into the US … Read More
Riding two or three times a week here in Mexico affords me an opportunity to meet so many interesting people, one of whom owns a very chic Italian clothing boutique in the Luxury Mall called Maliparmi. I knew the store before I met Rosanna because I bought a pair of sandals there that I thought were a steal at 250 pesos only to learn (after I wore them) that in fact, they were marked … Read More

So what should you look for when buying a suit?
Tip#1: Sizing – learn your … Read More
Today is my 65th birthday. I know that for some women, it is heresy to admit this milestone, but for me, I only see it as finally getting my dues: health insurance and movie tickets at a discount. Actually, to be honest, I don’t feel “old” even though my daughter’s birthday wish included the phrase, “you are finally an old lady”. To me the passage of time has only brought me more wisdom, less … Read More

I’ll admit it – I was a Pitch Perfect addict. I paid to see the ode to a cappella in theaters. Twice.
I rented the movie on Pay Per View. I watched it on cable…oh…let’s not count the number of times.
Was it a lot? Yes.
Did I need a Pitch Perfect 12-step program? Maybe.
As far as I was concerned, Pitch Perfect was aca-awesome, and I couldn’t WAIT for the sequel.… Read More
