Tweet A few months ago, my dear friend Alfred asked me to be a member on his team as he campaigns for the Man of the Year award with the Leukemia and Lyphoma Society. Alfred and I are friends not only as Los Angelenos, but we also hail from the same home town in Mississippi. […]
Tweet 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 […]
Tweet This is a terrific video explaining the insane festival of St Paddy’s Day that happens in my home town every year. As you also know, I have been posting a lot about children’s television programming lately, and this coincides with the Jim Henson exhibit at the Mississippi Museum of Art. Kermit was the co […]
Tweet When my perfect Husband wonders what kinds of things I do when out with my gay friends I can now show him this and know that it explains everything. A girl could never get her hubby to do it like this… Speaking of gays, The Critter’s favorite “uncle” has invited me to go to […]

Tweet …that this would be approved so soon. So there goes the neighborhood, until the three year construction period is over, starting with demo in June. I SO dread the dust and wondering what is in the particulate. I suppose the City Council made the best deal for the city that they could, and my […]
Tweet I haven’t posted in so long! It’s not that I haven’t been collecting a bevy of quirky information that I have experienced lately. As a designer and artist I am always seeing the design in things and I have quite a few subjects to share. There’s Easter, construction at the Peninsula, new music and […]
Tweet For about a year after I made my permanent move to Los Angeles, I was always stopping people and asking them if they were from New Orleans – or Mississippi. After plenty of “no’s” and way too many – “but don’t I know you?” conversations, it finally dawned on me that all these people […]
