As I’ve mentioned a few times, I am super duper excited to get my hands on Grace Coddington’s upcoming memoir (to be released in November). As Vogue’s Creative Director, she is a force. Anna Wintour has described Grace as the “heart and soul of the magazine.” Her vision and talent extends far beyond the pages of the… Continue reading Graceful Grace

Bookworm: Little Black Jacket
I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was when Mr. UPS delivered my copy of The Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s Classic Revisited By Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld. My oh my. The book is a tribute to Chanel’s iconic black jacket. The little black jacket is, some would argue, one of the most important… Continue reading Bookworm: Little Black Jacket
Bookworm: Sutton
This weekend, I am sooooooo beyond excited to begin reading J.R. Moehringer’s new book, Sutton. Willie Sutton was the prolific United States bank robber convict who, when asked why he robbed banks, responded: “That’s where the money is.” During his 40-year criminal career he was known for his disguises, garnering two nicknames, “Slick Willie” and “Willie… Continue reading Bookworm: Sutton
The Power of Girlfriends
Yesterday, I did a 5-hour and fifteen minute (every minute counts!) hike with some outstanding girlfriends (who also happened to have a whole lot of endurance-Silver Lining). We did the hike to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of my FBC diagnosis. For me, it was as much a celebration of health as it was a celebration… Continue reading The Power of Girlfriends

Happy Birthday to The Princess Bride
Happy 25th Birthday to one of my ALL-TIME favorite movies: The Princess Bride! I couldn’t possibly tell you how many times I’ve seen it. Even IF I could come up with the number, I’m not sure I’d be able to admit it! Yes, it’s THAT good! And yes, I’m getting old! The Princess Bride is… Continue reading Happy Birthday to The Princess Bride
Under My Skin at The Pasadena Playhouse
Today was an extraordinarily long and difficult day. Why? More f-bomb cancer. I went with my dear girlfriend and her dear husband to discuss her upcoming (nasty f-bomb) cancer treatments, including gnarly chemo and radiation. F-bomb cancer. Seriously. Sorry about the f-bombs. Cancer just brings them out of me. Geesh. What can I do? After… Continue reading Under My Skin at The Pasadena Playhouse

Fun things are coming to The Silver Pen….Silver Lining!
To Blog or Not to Blog…That is the Question
Last week, I had the Silver Lined opportunity to participate on a panel (hosted by the Santa Barbara chapter of Women In Communications). The title/topic was: To Blog or Not to Blog, That is the Question. It was a fun and engaging night. One that really helped me think about/reflect on how and why I… Continue reading To Blog or Not to Blog…That is the Question
