Chapter 1 in which the writer attempts to tap into her inner surf goddess

I blame House Hunters International for my latest junket into delusion. This HGTV show is a mainstay in our home. It affords us an opportunity to snoop in someone’s home – in fact – three homes – in some foreign locale while never having to pull our carcasses off the couch. It serves to...

The Battle of the Beignet – A Quiet Evening in the French Quarter

In support of the most soulful city in the whole US of A on this Superbowl weekend – a favorite NOLA memory. For certain personality types, the generous piles of powdered sugar that cover the beignets served at the famous Café du Monde in the French Quarter are one of life’s little temptations that...

Snapshot from the 2010 FADA Los Angeles Art Show

I am happily ensconced in a small booth working the LA Art Show for an important client, a well-know art publication.   And I’m buzzed by all the art and creative people around me.   Artists, hippies, bohemians, eccentrics, taggers-turned-fine artists, hip collectors, hot curators, kids living in an art collective, just doing their...

Pop-Up Hotels – Porta-Tourism Thinks Inside The Box

When life gives you  lemons, make lemonade.  So the saying goes.  Apparently the travel industry is following suit, and doing a little squeezing of its own for the budget-constrained, on-the-go traveler who doesn’t mind a bit of pre-fab construction. Pop-up hotels have been well, popping-up all over the world for a couple of years...
