We got a high-energy walk-through of Emerson College/Los Angeles last week and before too much time elapsed, I wrote Patrick to thank him for the two-hour tour. As it turns out, I’m going to see him again tomorrow — before the letter hits his mailbox. It’s still OK, though, because I promised “it’s in the…
I wrote a ‘get well’ note to Matt, who was felled with a heart problem after a weekend basketball game… it’s never easy to know what to say when someone’s fallen — but I wanted him to know he needs to take care of himself before everyone else. Please Share
I’ve been drifting around trying to figure out who could be a teammate in finding me the right job. My friend Jackie L. — who’s a high-placed power-broker on the East Coast — spent an hour brainstorming with me, and suggested a recruiter she knows. After I made contact with him, I thanked Jackie for…
What I love about Myron and Linda is they’re the perfect combination — of sensibility and humor. We travelled together to Sicily for 17 days, with a group, and Linda kept us in stitches the entire time. (Her impersonation of a low-key European hairdryer is hilarious). They’ve been following my blog since the beginning, and…
http://www.lewsilvers.com/artist-bio/ Do you have one teacher who made a difference in your life? For me, it was Mr. Silvers, in fourth grade. He “saw” who I was… gave me my first nickname — “Eggy”, because I admitted when I was little, I couldn’t pronounce my own name and came up with that instead. Years later,…
www.joieweddings.com/ Some people “get” a paper addiction more than others. Jennifer Hronek, our wedding planner, understands. When Vin and I got married, he was in charge of the music. I was in charge of — the paper. Invitation design, check. “Save the Date”, yes. “Thank you notes” for all as a table favor — of…
I’m usually up for any airplane conversation, but on the flight to Puerto Rico the day after Christmas I wasn’t feeling very social. I was feeling sad about the disconnected state of my marriage, tired from the holidays, and was not psyched for a trip to the sun & the fun. I’d been so ambivalent…
The end of the year means schmaltz. Everyone’s rummaging through their mental closets, trying to come up with their prettiest inventory. Look at the posts. “Top 10 things to be grateful for.” “Top 20 TED speeches” (that’s actually interesting). “Top fitness goals for the new year.” I propose something easier. Work on a way…
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…
I hope I’m not turning into one of those crazy ladies who hides things in her shoes. I went to pick up my sunglasses the other day from Iavor at Dan Deutsch Optical Outlook in Westwood. I’ve known Iavor Tsalov about a year now. After years at another optical store, when the corporation moved our…
