May 23, 2016 No Comments

“I decided what I’m going to wear and it’s been that way since I was fourteen, when my mum let me loose in C&A. She, of course, was my first fashion guru.” – Victoria Beckham, That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between (I am still fascinated with Victoria Beckham, so I thought I’d share this blog post again. I originally wrote it on July 9, 2012. Enjoy!!) My fascination with Victoria Beckham began in 2007 when I watched her one-hour TV special, Victoria Beckham: Coming to America. It was part factual and part documentary spoof, but I thought […]

“I don’t think I ever felt beautiful until I was pregnant and when I gave birth to my children. I had terrible acne when I was a teenager and I was very tall, so tall I couldn’t see myself in my mother’s long mirror.” – Vanessa Redgrave Photo Source: Vogue My mom once told me that she named me after Vanessa Redgrave, because that was her favorite actress around at the time I was born and that she just liked that name. Lucky me, in that the legendary and talented actress and I were both born in the month of […]

In honor of Thanksgiving and in light of the recent events in my life (with the passing of my 88-year-old grandpa from colon cancer), I have decided to send up a prayer for my family and friends. Dear Lord, I come before you today with a heavy, and somewhat broken, heart. Heavy because of the anxiety and fears I keep bundled up inside, and broken-hearted because right now, I am missing both of my […]

Sharing in Guiliana & Bill’s Joy

November 20, 2012 No Comments

With nothing much to watch on TV tonight, I decided to watch Giuliana & Bill on The Style Network. Giuliana & Bill is a reality show featuring E! News host, and host of Fashion Police Giuliana Rancic and her husband Bill Rancic, an entrepreneur who won the first season of The Apprentice. The couple, who first met when Giuliana was interviewing Bill for E! News, were married on September 1, 2007. (Source: Wikipedia) I watched the 19th episode of season five, “Meet The Duke!” It’s about the birth of their son, Edward Duke Rancic, who was born on Aug. 29, 2012. They had a surrogate, Delphine, who graciously carried baby […]

It was part factual and part documentary spoof, but I thought she was really funny and totally fashionable! I googled her and discovered that she had written not one, but two books. The first book was […]
