Exclusive Backstage, Beauty, and First Looks were photographed by Arun Nevader just moments before Gwen Stefani debuted her spring 2011 collection from her clothing line, L.A.M.B. during the last day of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week New York at Lincoln Center September 16, 2010.

This collection was enchanting and pretty. Any woman wanting to feel more feminine or be the belle of the ball should consider Monique L’huillier’s Spring 2011 Collection.

Monique L’huillier’s Spring 2011 Collection can be described as enchanting. Models are styled with fairy accents, fresh water colors and soft spring palettes. But she’s not afraid to use RED! This is the apple for Eve and our very own Garden of Eden.

I ran into TV personality and stylist Robert Verdi at Lincoln Center on September 13, 2010. We had both just seen the Carolina Herrera show, and I was curious to get his thoughts about fashion week in New York this season.

The Emmys were ultra-exciting—but the excitement started even before the ultra-glamorous TV Awards Ceremony. All over Hollywood celebs, including Emmy-nominated actors, former Emmy winners, presenters, and industry VIPS, were invited to a series of Pre-Emmy Gifting Suites, where they were introduced to all kinds of terrific products, clothes, and accessories.

Entering from the highway is a long driveway, taking you past the golf course, specialty villas, the spa, water park, conference center and Chez Roux to the hotel’s modern entryway.

Obviously, film stars on Broadway are nothing new, but what was very refreshing about last season for the most part (we will get to Catherine Zeta Jones in a moment) was that the stars gave terrific and, in some cases, remarkable performances.

After a recent stint at WAA (Western Arts Alliance) in Long Beach, California, I had the pleasure of listening to one of the most beautiful male voices I have ever heard live.  Mark Masri performed Wednesday, September 1, at the Beacon Ballroom at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Long Beach.  I suppose I should give a little history.  WAA is a nonprofit sector that supports venue presenters for the performing arts centers.   Many presenters come to this annual conference to find their acts to book for […]

Like good spy thrillers, the plot twists and turns add to the suspense from the very first page. Jordan Kirkwood, the title character, the last operative, has spent the better part of his life as an NSA agent. This job, of course, has caused him to make a number of sacrifices in his personal life, not least of which has been spending little time with his wife who is now dead and his two children, Christa and Ken.
