Think about when you take your child to the first day of kindergarten…leaving our little ones in the capable hands of the teacher who is going to teach them not only “everything [they] need to know” about kindergarten during that foray into their school years, but be there to put a bandage on their scraped knee, and give a hug when they need one, too.

At Long Last: Thinkin’ About Chillin’
Monday, August 30th, 2010Hi Everyone! I am still here in the islands working on my fashion shoots and dreaming about the Fall. Yes, it’s true! While most of you are still wearing summer trends, enjoying the lightweight styles, colorful brights, fairy-tale pieces, accessories galore, I have been in Fall mode since the February fashion shows. I loved what they were showing on the runways then and what is coming into the stores now. So,as summer winds down and the days get shorter, watch as the Fall fashions move us towards a more familiar, simplistic adult attitude.

Quiet on the Set
Friday, August 27th, 2010
This week has been crazy and quite the experience, traveling across five states with my daughter looking at prospective colleges. Thankfully technology makes sure I can stay in touch with all of you during this one of a kind trip. As a matter of fact, right not I am in the JFK library in Boston, Mass, making some final edits… I’ll share some of my adventures with you once I return. I really can’t wait to get back to the milder Southern California weather. I’m not sure how much longer I can handle the heat and humidity on the East Coast. In the mean time we have some great picks to share this week. So gather your family, grab the popcorn, and enjoy! As they say out here in Hollywood, “lights, camera, action!”

Brother, Can You Spare a Square?
Friday, August 27th, 2010I decided that I am truly gifted. So gifted, in fact, that I have decided to submit an application to Mensa, the association for geniuses like me. How gifted am I? In my entire family, it seems I am the only one who recognizes that when a toilet paper roll is utterly devoid of paper, it’s time to change the roll. (more…)
