Tweet The Greystone Concours has now become THE annual event for luxury and antique car fans! My Perfect Husband (MPH) and I have been guests at the last two shows, and it is now our favorite springtime date. If you followed our post from last year’s event, you know that the show is rated by […]


Madame Chocolat + Domaine Carneros = Fabulous decadence

Published on May 10, 2012

Tweet I’ve been writing about how much I love Madame Chocolat since she opened her fabulous factory/atelier. Her latest addition to the scrumptious lineup of chocolate treats? Champagne truffles, made with Domaine Carneros champagne! Barrie and I recently attended the very sweet launch of the fabulous duet and confirmed yet again that we are addicts […]


Caine’s Arcade – Entrepreneurship Goes Viral

Published on May 2, 2012

Tweet The things I would miss if I didn’t keep up with the PBS Parents Facebook page! I can’t begin to say all the things I love about this story – Caine built an entire arcade with business systems in place out of cardboard and repurposed objects out of his dad’s East LA auto parts […]


Rosie Pope IS Pregnant in Heels and has Fabulous New West Coast Store

Published on April 16, 2012

Tweet Never have I felt such empathy with a reality show as when I was watching Rosie Pope in Bravo’s Pregnant in Heels. The reality series made her a household name to stylish mommies to be, and I found myself wishing that not only did I wish I had had her fashions and practical advice […]


Two Evil Queens + Mirror Mirror Premiere = Wicked Fun!

Published on April 6, 2012

Tweet I was feeling a bit guilty for leaving the Perfect Husband and the Critter home to attend the premiere of Mirror Mirror with my two main gays, it being a “family” movie and all. A ski trip for my hubs and kidlet had been postponed, and my plus two had already been invited. Truth […]


LAArt Show for Generations of Art Lovers

Published on March 9, 2012

Tweet . . You may recall that Barrie and I went to the LAArtShow Premiere Opening Party awhile back. My Perfect Husband thinks most contemporary art is bulls@*t, and I needed some catch up time with the gay husband, so we made it a downtown night. We started with cocktails and nibbles joined by a […]


Fun with the Oscars

Published on February 26, 2012

Tweet I look forward to tweeting while I watch the red carpet arrivals and will be rooting for “Man or Muppet,” music and lyrics by Bret McKenzie to take home the gold statue for Best Music (Original Song). I also am very excited that a fellow Mississippian’s fabulous book has become a movie with FOUR […]


Don’t Bug Out, OVO Awesome for All Ages!

Published on February 2, 2012

Tweet I just LOVE how the folks at Cirque du Soleil pay attention to every last detail – even the letters of the name OVO, the Portuguese word for “egg” create a visual of the eyes and nose of a bug! And that is what you will see in the first female conceived and directed […]


PBS Press Tour and Meeting our Idols

Published on

Tweet I always am thrilled to attend the biannual PBS Press Tour. You may have read this story about how they got me out of the “daughter doghouse” forever with the spectacular performance by her lifelong idol Tony Bennett, but there was so much more. I was fortunate to visit for a while with Lesli […]


Mendelssohn’s Mystical Landscapes with the LA Philharmonic at Disney Hall

Published on December 7, 2011

Tweet We were quite the culture vultures recently as guests experiencing the Toyota Symphonies for Youth production of “Mendelssohn’s Mystical Landscapes” at Walt Disney Concert Hall. The event promised to be a great outing for the family and did not disappoint! I was unsure if my almost five year old Critter would be able to […]
