Me on the Street

Goodbye August and hello October.  What is going on with this Midwest weather?  I hope it’s not a sign of a long cold winter but right now I’m tickled to wear pants. Yes, largely because I don’t have to shave my legs today, but also because I’ve FINALLY bought a pair of colored pants and…

Working with a good team

Last Sunday was another photo shoot job with Her Kansas City magazine and the best one yet!!

Usually to a location with beautiful blue waters to offer tranquility and lots of flora and fauna for a stunning color palette. I long for open seas versus my landlocked Kansas location.  The best I can do for…

Emmy frocks 2010

I’m not entirely sure what to say about many of the dresses worn last night at the Emmy awards.  In my humble opinion there were more bad dresses than good.  Apparently only 1/2 of the ladies got the memo that it was a Roman theme. 😉  Others made me wonder if they just forgot which award…
