There are destinations around the world where people get around by walking, bicycles, and donkeys. There are places where there are no cars, or at least, a place where no cars are allowed. To me, there is an adventure around every corner in these far away locales. Kira Cook hosts a series on PBS, entitled Islands without Cars. This first season of this show highlighted six islands without cars, including the Greek Island of Hydra, Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, Ireland’s Inis Meain, Italy’s Aeolian Islands, The Channel Island of Sark, and France’s Isle of Porquerolles. In doing a little more research […]
A Look Back at Oscars Red Carpet Fashions
Tonight is Oscars! And if you’re like me, then you’re more interested in the Red Carpet show than the actual awards show. Don’t get me wrong… I love film and entertainment and the whole aspect of film-making, but I love watching all of the actresses and actors walking the red carpet, showing off their designer frocks and their personal style. I love to see the glitz and glam that some of these entertainers put on display. The 89th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, will honor the best films of 2016 and will take […]

Celebrity Dinner Party: SNL Edition
Have you ever been asked this question? “Who would you invite to a dinner party, dead or alive?” I would have dinner parties every weekend – both Friday and Saturday nights – because my guest list is sooooooooo long! Who would be my first guests, you ask? I would have some of my favorite female Saturday Night Live veterans – Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Molly Shannon. I have watched SNL for the last 25 years, and there have been some funny women on that late night show. Tina Fey – Sarah Palin and Weekend Update. Amy […]
