Adam Silverman is a world-reknowned ceramicist whose work could be from another time or another planet. If you want an out-of-body experience, go see his exhibit at the Laguna Art Museum … he took us through it — truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience — and I’m still enraptured. http://lagunaartmuseum.org/adam-silverman-2/ Please Share
After Donna Brown G. said she wanted to go see her friend Charles Robinson — a great actor — in “Death of a Salesman” — we gathered ourselves up (back on September 22nd) and went to see his performance. We were so moved that afterwards, even though we’d gotten to shake his hand in the…
Hairdressers can make or break someone. In the case of Kim Vo, who is the Ambassador to Schwarzkopf hair products — and “Blonder to the Stars” — he’s not only the confidante of celebrities (like Brittany Spears) — he’s also kind to nervous young non-celebs. My niece Kuu (age 20) wanted to get her first-ever…
http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/ PEOPLE magazine picked “HYPERBOLE AND A HALF” by Allie Brosh in its Books section this week (12/16/13). I went to Allie’s website and looked at several of her posts. Rebecca Donohue (at FishBowl Worldwide Media), who has started up many successful blogs herself and knows how to get to that vaunted #1-most-read-spot … suggested at…
Ralph Lauren and Polo have created their own distinct luxury brand. Clothing. Interior design. Lifestyle. When I received a box from there, I had a feeling it might be something beautiful. And it was. A candle, wrapped in its own plaid & gold-etched box and a thick red ribbon bow. I wrote Vic, who had…
Hint: It’s not the Spandex or a light lunch in the tea room. It’s CUSTOMER SERVICE. I was speaking with Bree, the effervescent sales manager for Equinox Gym the other day. (I joined several months ago but have been too shy and reticent to go on my own.) It was a quiet Sunday afternoon,…

Chef Raphael Lunetta of JiRaffe Restaurant gives back… after he volunteered a dinner for eight, prepared at one’s home, my husband bid on it. It’s a way to donate to in this case, autism, at an event called “Denim & Diamonds”. It took several months to secure a date, and we opted to invite people…
The world of matching linens baffles me. I grew up with ratty towels, used to almost rags. When I went away to college, I grabbed the least-shredded light orange and tan ones, and headed off to school. It wasn’t until I got married that I discovered there are “thread counts”. I also learned that the…
Marshall is the handsome director of the Brown-RISD Hillel in Providence, Rhode Island. In a former life, he could have been a Jewish “Ken doll”, he’s that gorgeous. He’s also smart and is building a cross-country network. I’ve introduced him to a few people and he’s excellent at staying in touch. I admire that. Please…
