During the heady days of college, immersed in the bohemian lifestyle of the art student on campus, I became infatuated with the European painters whose unconventional techniques transposed the definition of art in the early 20th century.

Visiting the Hanky Panky showroom in NYC today, I walked into a carnival of color; not surprising for this playful and provocative brand. But it was the explosion of prints that really accelerated the “fun meter”. I felt as if I was in a candy store filling my goody bag – in this case my camera- with multiple visual treats.

Hey there Lingerie Lovers! I think I’ve finally recovered from my trip to Los Angeles. It was a whirlwind trip, but very productive. So it was well worth it…. And I got to hang out with boob and bra expert Elisabeth Dale! Ya can’t beat that, right? But you know me… I was back in the saddle as soon as I returned to New York. And there’s a lot going on in … Read More
