My Debut- World’s Greatest Commercials

Posted on

The day was Sunday…time was 5:45 PM. I was a total Nervous Nellie and probably should’ve only had one glass of wine at this point. My very first show as a television host is about to debut in 15 minutes. (caveat: I have done a lot of work…I was even on E! for a while co-hosting with two other dear friends in 2009) But this…..this was my first time on the air as a host, on a major network…by myself…on TV… carrying a show.  This was an epic moment for me. I’ve done some  things in my career that I’m

It’s the Final Countdown! Planet Primetime is COMING SOON!

Posted on

‘Planet Primetime’ Series Debut DECEMBER 1, 2015 !!!!! ONLY on Travel Channel I am beyond excited to share this news. After a year of traveling around the world I finally get to show everyone what my adventures truly entailed. It was a whirlwind of madness and activity. I have been ferociously anxious for this show to air. What you will see is a microcosm of what I experienced so I want to be able to get you my personal thoughts and photos of the extras that just cannot fit into an edit. Cliche alert- but I don’t care. I met

Bridal Shower Gift….Naughty & Nice….Sweet & Spicy.

Posted on

HERE COMES THE BRIDE…!!!! I am not naked here. DON’T give her a boring shower gift. Showers are pretty lame as it is. Spice it up a bit. Make Granny and Aunt Trudy blush!!….Although the old timers could always teach us a thing or…ten.  I seriously cannot handle wedding showers. Baby showers I understand, but wedding showers make my skin crawl. I am convinced that women who truly enjoy watching other women open plates and monogrammed towels… have psychotic tendencies. Gaggles of estrogen fueled relatives applauding after each item is logged for future thank you cards and consequently plopping the gifts

Hope to Thailand

Posted on

One of my closest friends will be leaving for Thailand soon in an effort to assist women who have just been rescued from the sex slave industry.  Miss Kelly King’s campaign is called Hope to Thailand and it is partnered with Fashion Hope.  Most of the women she is traveling so far to meet have no means of supporting themselves financially as well as no skills after being held and abused in captivity for so long. They are emotionally and physically destroyed but are on the way to a better life through rehabilitation and therapy at safe houses.  Kelly who

I like to think I am an innovator. I like to think I do/style original things. I like to think I am unique. BUT sometimes I see something I love and need/want/have to have it. Unfortunately I am not a Rockafella so if it’s crazy expensiveo I have to improvise and that is exactly what I plan to help you guys do. #DIY here we come….. With that said….I like the rock/glam/deconstructed beauty kinda of look. TONS of jewelry is my bag. I cannot pile enough jewelry on no matter the occasion. It’s kind of a problem and I probably

Lash-O-Rama…..New Product ALERT!

Posted on

I ADORE fake lashes. If you know me …you know this. They change my face, its kinda crazy. WAY back in the day when I was dancing professionally in NY…..(NOT stripping)….I wore falsies basically every day. I was performing as an NBA dancer on the court 4/5 times a week in full hair and makeup.  I learned very quickly how to get these suckers on…and how to get them on FAST.  I am late for everything. I was often late back then as well and totally had to throw quite a few pairs on while driving on the Cross Bronx

Fudge YOU!!!!!!

This was a hellofa good hair day if I do say so myself! I don’t claim to be a hair stylist or a makeup artist BUT I have had lots of professional careers and hobbies that required me to get DAMN good at beautifying myself. (NBA Dancer, Beauty Queen, TV Host, Unemployed Wifey etc)  An ex-beau who is a NYC hair maestro and a Mom who was a hairdresser in the 70’s in London have helped a lot too. I ADORE a deconstructed glamorous look. Beachy hair here I come! Beachy hair can go OH SO WRONG…OH SO FAST. Curls

W.I.W.L.N. (What I wore last night) just made it up. I’m a genius.

#OOTN #OOTD What I wore last night… As if you care. Black, Denim and Gold was the theme of the evening.  I had to wear a hat because my hair was dirty. Lovely, I know. Decided on which filth disguise to wear and built an outfit around it. Dry shampoo would’ve been a tad easier.   #guiseppezanotti black knee high leather wedge boots- #jbrand black jeggings –  blue denim button down @forever21-  black #LnA tank-  kick ass gold necklace #urbanoutfitters @urbanoutfitters – leather Moto jacket #Joie @joie –  Gold knit beret #Missoni  @shopwasteland  –  lips @nyxcosmetics Monte Carlo red! 💋

Layer Your Riches Bishes!!!!

Happy Hump Day! Fashion post for the ladies who like to wear stuff that looks expensive but ain’t. Here is the OUTFIT BREAKDOWN: (all very affordable) 1. White hi-low t shirt with gold zipper back- Fox’s Designer Off Price (ONLY my fav store on the planet), Designer is Vintage Havana. I bought this so many years ago I have no idea what I paid but I guarantee is was 30 or less. A simple white t shirt would suffice. Make sure it is not too tight. Loosey Goosey is sexier and edgier. 2. Black TO DIE FOR Leather Vest. I Pulled it
