LionsLair logoSubmitted by Kimberly Berger, owner of Lion’s Lair Boutique in Islamorada, Florida

I started Lion’s Lair as an airbrush artist, painting on everything from motorcycles to murals to t-shirts to swimwear.  Due to the store’s tropical location, hand painted swimwear became a very popular item. In 1996 as a 26 year old, DDD-cup entrepreneur, I quickly realized that I wasn’t the only one that didn’t fit in mainstream sizes and … Read More

When we were children, my grandmother would travel east from Ohio to visit us in NY staying several weeks in my brother’s bedroom. He moved in with me next door and both of us shared the bathroom with Sylvia. One of our favorite pastimes was to peak into the shower where her lingerie was hanging to dry.  We would count the rows of hooks on her bra; 16 if I … Read More

Orange has a sense of humor, a modicum of optimism and incredible warmth. I even took a risk and painted … Read More


Hot Disguise ~ Mimi Holliday

I am constantly amazed at what Halloween has become in the United States. Two days ago I was in Ricky’s, the edgy New York cosmetic and accessory chain and the entire store was converted to a costume hub.  Forget about buying shampoo. Last week at Costco, racks of kiddy costumes had usurped the apparel aisles.  In the malls Pop Up stores are bedecked with orange and black paraphernalia. This day … Read More
