Halloween 2008...

From morning haircut (shown: colorist Eric, who caught the spirit) to my evening shift due to trunk show traffic (yes, Cathy Waterman's divine goodies), everyone was in a playful Halloween mood. Shown: our own store police officer Leo (helping out with mall trick or treaters.

Not Quite Ready for TV, but Here Goes....

Steve Kemble stopped by to film our store for a special on Channel 11...and caught the Cathy Waterman Trunk Show activity. As for his python ensemble, a big WOW!!!

My Favorite Bracelets...

This marks the 5th anniversary of wearing my Livestong bracelet, and only the second time I've taken it off (yes, it looks great at black-tie functions with a gown, trust me). And the 5th anniversary (yea!) of getting the news (yes I am the 1 out of 7 that helped the other 6 of you out)! It is the also the end of National Breast Cancer month, and we are supporting The Bridge Network's Art for the Bridge event in December. And that other good looking bracelet which is now one of my favorites? Why that was made by Jake during African Day at school.

Oh Cathy, you are Genius....

Just when you think it just can't get any better, in rolls the Cathy Waterman trunk show and we are stunned to see all the new things. In this case, words can't describe, you'll just have to click and see for yourself. Enjoy the view!

Party Makers & Party Animals...More 2 x 2

It is not a party unless Todd Fiscus has created it, and it is not truly fun unless he and Rob are in the midst. Still checking on how much that Louise Bourgeois in the background went for. Yumm...

2x2 for Aids and Art Gala: First Look

The actual 2 X 2 Event is this evening, and millions will be raised for AmFar and the Dallas Museum of Art. Our paddles won't attend the auction, but we did stop by Thursday for "First Look" at the divine Rachofsky Art House, where bids were already being taken on spectacular pieces of modern art. Luckily for me, the dress code was black and white, so I wore this amazing Cathy Waterman bamboo necklace with windowpane earrings, and yes, heads turned. Those dots of red in the midst of the sea of black and white? Why it's Lord of the Manor Howard Rachofsky, and friend Patti who stood out in a fire engine shade.

Pleeeeez Daddy.....

Our young friend has fallen in love with these ALink Diamonds, and promises a great school conference, a clean room, peace with her siblings and tons of other stuff if her father will just consider these pieces for her. And yes, she promises to share with her mom. Deal? Or no deal?

You Can Join the Bidding...

Join us on the Palm Night Auction website which closes on Sunday evening, even if you don't live in Dallas. There is some fab merchandise which benefits a great charity, The Family Place in Dallas. You can also buy Ylang 23 Jewelry raffle tickets online which will be drawn on November 7 (yes, 23 chances to win jewelry, including pieces from Cathy Waterman, Gurhan and Temple St. Clair).

Pleeeeeeez Mom....

Hope springs eternal from Jake that his parents will spring for the signed Tony Romo jersey, generously donated by The Dallas Cowboys but it was not to be (it was sold last night).

Palm Night for the Family Place 2007

It was a fabulous night at The Palm Restaurant to benefit The Family Place, and co-chairs Robin and Steve Ladik (she is pictured in the feathers) and Joyce and Tim Goss stunned the crowd with the hottest live auction in Palm Night's 14 year history. It was the British invasion under the tent for pre-activities and The Palm rolled out steak, lobsters and an endless supply of wine for the bidders. Even Austin Powers made an appearance and the winners of the evening? Why, the women and children of The Family Place.
