Dame of the Month

June 7th, 2005

Back so soon? Yes, indeed. I told you I was going to be reliable.

Now, I know all of you have been holding your breath but it’s finally here:

The feature on my makeover is up on the Urban Decay website. Go, go now.

www.urbandecay.com

They have great products, by the way, I recommend them highly, and I’m not just saying that.

They’ve also done a fantastic job of describing me in nothing but flattering terms. Incidentally, if you had told me a year ago that there’d be a major cosmetic company making veiled references to my bosom, I would have turned red and zipped my jacket up.

Now, before you go clicking away to find the pictures of me in order to return and comment on the feature, I have a one request:

BE KIND.

Have fun heckling.

 
 

The Women of Bethesda

June 1st, 2005

Hi all,

I know, you were wondering where I was. So was I. A lot of times I had no idea. Especially when I was in Maryland. My tour’s just about over and I’ve had a blast — though, I won’t be sorry to be not living out of a suitcase anymore. I promise I won’t leave you stranded for so long from here on out. You’ll hear from me weekly.

The thing was, I hadn’t gotten used to blogging and then BAM, all of the sudden I’m forced to road blog and I’m afraid I wasn’t up to the task.

I have so many tour adventures to recount, but why put them all in one blog when I can spread them out and thereby create many blogs? It’s just sound economics. Trickle down blogging. Or something.

In any event, I wanted to share one of the most special events that I attended: a Meet the Author Tea at the beautiful home of Rosalie Norair. These women were incredible. By the end of my time with them, they had discusssed everything from the relevance of Thucydides in modern times to the reasons behind the deliciousness of pecan tarts.

I want to thank them all — it was so much fun. And of course, what overdue blog of mine would be complete without a picture? More to come on the Tour. Including an amusing incident with a kabob. Meet the Women of Bethesda (or close to it).
