Sometimes I think it’s easier to break into the Hollywood scene if your parents are already in the industry. I, myself, am not famous and I don’t have “famous” parents (although I think my mom and dad are pretty awesome). So it’s no wonder that there is a whole generation of actors that we love to watch now, only to discover that their mother and/or father are actors themselves. I was watching Hawaii 5-0 a few months ago because my friend from high school, Kinna McInroe, had a guest spot on an episode that aired on Jan. 8th. As I was watching […]
Winter Styles You’ll Want to Copy
The first and second big snows of 2016 have hit the East and I must say, I love it! I love the look of stylish winter coats, and like many other women, I try to incorporate the styles I see on the street into my own personal style.

But I also love the look of a classy coat, like these from Bloomingdale’s. Photo Source: Bloomingdale’s 1. SAM. Freestyle Down Jacket […]
The Lovely Vanessa Redgrave

Lucky me, in that the legendary and talented actress and I were both born in the month of […]
I'm Gonna Knock You Out
I’m not a big fan of boxing. The blood. The brutality. The sometimes life-changing injuries these athletes suffer. So this is just not a sport I can get into, if you know what I mean. But, the other day after I had a minor office procedure done, I was home channel surfing and ended up stopping on the HBO documentary of the Klitschko brothers, a pair of Ukranian heavyweight boxers. Both brothers are over 6’7″ and each have a reach of over 80-inches. Photo Source: Amazon “A documentary portrait of boxing brothers Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko who between them […]
Movie Review: The Judge
My husband and I recently watched The Judge, with Robert Duvall and Robert Downey Jr. We both thought it was a great movie! It’s more than a courtroom thriller. It’s about relationships in and out of the courtroom. Photo Source: PopSugar Entertainment Here is a brief description of the movie, according to IMDb: “Hank Palmer is a successful defense attorney in Chicago, who is getting a divorce. When his brother calls with the news that their mother has died, Hank returns to his childhood home to attend the funeral. Despite the brittle bond between Hank and the Judge, Hank must […]
