Man of Style: Rob Lowe

July 26, 2017 No Comments

I first remember watching Rob Lowe as Sodapop Curtis in The Outsiders and as Billy Hicks in St. Elmo’s Fire. He has appeared in some really great movies and TV shows, like West Wing, Brothers & Sisters, and Parks & Recreation. This 80’s heartthrob has a classic style that has been in the business for over 40 years, and he is still just as handsome now as he was back in the early 80s. This is why he is this month’s “Man of Style.” I have reacquainted myself with Rob Lowe since rediscovering him as Senator Robert McCallister on Brothers […]

Just Put on Your Red Shoes and Dance the Blues

January 12, 2017 No Comments

If there were ever one famous rocker from my childhood whose music drew me in like a moth to a flame, it was David Bowie. He made me want to put on my red shoes {even though I didn’t have any red shoes} and “dance the blues.” A year ago yesterday, this iconic singer, songwriter, and actor passed away. It was a shock to millions of people, myself included, but his music will live on in the hearts of all of us. “Let’s Dance” and “Little China Girl” were so memorable for me. His androgynous look, his unique voice, his […]

Man of Style: Tom Hiddleston

July 13, 2016 No Comments

My oldest niece, Kyra, is totally in love with Tom Hiddleston. It broke her heart a little when she found out that he was dating Taylor Swift. Now mind you, she likes Taylor Swift, but as she put it, “No. This cannot be happening. This is too much for me to handle. She had Harry Styles, then Calvin Harris, NOW HIM. I can’t.” Because of Kyra’s undying love for all things “TH”, I have decided to honor Tom Hiddleston as the first “Man of Style” in a new monthly series by the same name. Tom Hiddleston is an English actor. […]

Magazine Overload

October 13, 2015 No Comments

I recently used some airlines miles to subscribe to several of my favorite magazines. And today, I hit the motherload! I received not one, not two, but FIVE of my favorite magazines. Talk about magazine overload! 1. GLAMOUR Can I just say that I have a crush on Sandra Bullock? Surely I’m not alone, right? She “sped” into our hearts and “while you were sleeping”, gave a “two week notice” that she was all about “the proposal.” And while “hope floats”, she charmed us and won “Miss Congeniality.” Then for “28 days”, she tried to figure out the “divine secrets […]
