“Heaven Has No Rage Like Love to Hatred Turned, Nor Hell a Fury Like a Woman Scorned.” This quote from William Congreve’s tragic play The Mourning Bride is the opening to a lawsuit demanding $30.5 million from singer Lady Gaga. The fact that the suit was filed by her producer turned boyfriend, Rob Fusari, leaves us to surmise the same afterlife-inspired wrath can also come from a man. Fusari[…]
What a weekend! I am still walking on cloud nine… Saturday night I picked up an Emmy for National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Southeast Chapter; Outstanding Achievement: On-Camera Talent – Performer/Narrator. The night started with dinner at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Buckhead — complete with Emmy Award winning desserts! I started the show as a presenter, along side of Barry Frankel from Habif, Arogeti & Wynne. They[…]
This past weekend I had the tremendous honor to help host the “Peace, Love and Pure” fashion show, supporting Bert’s Big Adventure. Founded by my friends, Bert and Stacey Weiss, BBA helps children facing chronic illness to get out of the hospital and spend quality time their families. The program is year-round, but culminates in an annual trip to Disney World, allowing the children and their families to experience “Magic[…]
If you were up early Sunday morning, you may have seen us. Hundreds of Porsche Roadsters lined up in a caravan down Peachtree Street. It was stretch for me to be up at 8 am on a Sunday — but for the Governor’s Mansion, I rallied. After drinking coffee with all the members of the Peachtree Porsche Club, we all got a lecture from the motorcycle officers who’d agreed to[…]
To celebrate the launch of my new column, I got to host 944 Magazine’s party for their March Issue! What better excuse to kick up our (high) heels?!? Designer Reco Chappele was kind enough to provide my gorgeous one shoulder flapper dress. See that cuff on my right writst? He made that for me — out of a zipper! Stylist Provi lent her finishing touches. Halo Lounge in Midtown partnered[…]
Who says 80 is old? This is a picture of me with 80 year old retired astronaut, Richard Gordon. I met him when I attended Space Camp in Huntsville, last year. He piloted two space missions for NASA in the 60s, and since then has run companies all over North America. He shows no signs of slowing down. I met him when he asked to stand next to me in[…]
It’s been a year since the W Buckhead opened it’s doors so what else is there to do but celebrate with a pool party? My girlfriend, Parker Wallace and I attended in matching winter white and enjoyed toasty mugs of hot chocolate. It is February, after all! But the pool was far from empty — bikini clad models frolicked in what can only swimming pool-sized hot tub, especially heated for[…]
Ready to be inspired? Check out the dancer with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. Their bodies are off the charts! I got to meet a pair of them this week, and was surprised to see they were wearing track suits. But it makes sense, because what they are, in reality, are finely tuned athletes. And their dancing is out of this world. They’re in town this weekend at the Fox.[…]
Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus is in town, and I got to go behind the scenes. The highlight of the day was getting to be a “clown for a day”. That included full makeup, courtesy of Clown buddy, Todd. Believe it or not, he used a sock full of baby powder to set the grease paint in place. Then we took the stage, spinning not one… But two plates[…]
It’s a dog’s life! Friday night I got to strut my stuff at the annual “Doggies On The Catwalk” event, benefitting PALS Atlanta. Put on my the design students from the UrbanCouture program at Grady Hischool, it featured local celebs, and their dogs, wearing outfits designed by the kids! All the proceeds go to benefit pets and owners in need, here in the Atlanta area. My designer was Destini Rhone,[…]
