Diving into Movies and seeing stars at the Beverly Hilton

Published on August 4, 2010

Some things are quintessential Beverly Hills, and those are the things I really enjoy. Watching television and movies as a child gave me a certain perception of what it would be like here – glamorous, fun, festive, tropical, with star watching. All these were rolled into [...]


Michael Jackson’s kids and family sign commemorative belt

Published on May 29, 2010

When Michael Jackson died I recounted my sadness and recalled that it was much like the day Elvis died. Again the similarities are eerie in the news that a blinged out limited edition commemorative belt has been designed by Simon Tavassoli of bbsimon of Newport Beach. The first belt has the distinction of the only [...]

I honestly think that this time of year is busier than any. We have LOTS of birthday parties to attend, since the Critter’s buddies were all born around the same time, and the weather is so nice I start to think about the summer wardrobes for our family. I’ve also been working on a [...]

The big edit.

Seems the theme these days is that change is good. It better be, because it seems I’ve constantly been changing forever! I guess it’s the nature of being a creative person involved in the design business. I’ve often wished that I had been inclined toward a profession that required only a Blackberry or an iPhone [...]

A Jackass wannabe, I guess – the dude is steroidally shrill. At least props go to the Mama Bear for taking control of the sitch…


If I can’t find glamour here in Beverly Hills…

…I can always find it in my hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. Just a casual tea party in the Belhaven neighborhood – thanks to the Wiggintons for the party and Dr Edwin McAllister for the photo!
