Marronage…the meaning of which is to “emancipate one’s self”, think about that for a second. Setting yourself free, opening up to who you really are and embracing it. Of late, we have thought a lot about the freedom to relax. The freedom to renew. Create. Invigorate. Rejuvenate. Rebel. Love. The freedom to be who we really are. The freedom to find yourself.
With that in mind, we created Marronage, a brand … Read More

It was just over 20 years ago I first fought the battle we are once again fighting. The never-ending battle for a woman’s right to choose. It was a clear day in DC back in 20 something, and along with what seemed like a million other women we marched, and we responded to the vitriol being hurled at us in kind. We raised our signs as high as our arms would allow … Read More

I do. Til death do us part. I pronounce you. I take you. I promise. Happily ever after. Tie the knot. Bliss.

I was damn lucky to meet and often become close with people who initially freaked me out…. there was no comfort zone, and it was exhilarating. This was the 80’s, a time when the LBQGT community was more threatened and yet somehow more embraced than now. Doesn’t … Read More

“Dad”, that is what I call my father. We all do, all 9 of us. He is also known as Papa. My dad has no interest whatsoever in what I am writing in this blog other than the fact that I am the one writing it. Absolutely no interest in fashion or shopping, which is one of the many reasons I love him. He is, however, a magnet for anyone under the … Read More

A margarita can be very inspiring, two of them can really get the lime juices flowing. I was at my local “Cheers” for only the second time in 13 months, Santa Fe. Not the city but the Mexican bar and restaurant on 71rst street and Columbus Avenue in NYC. It was the most glorious evening and I had not quite dealt with the fact that I had no subject for my next … Read More
