My dear wife, mother of my children, life partner, and person to call in case of an emergency has become a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California (don’t you dare pronounce that like our governor does!). We have put together a little website to introduce what she does at doreenmaller.com and she’s listed on the Psychology Today website, as well.
Please keep her in mind if you or anybody you know is searching for a very talented therapist.
My new studio is working out brilliantly. I love the space. Despite the fact that I’ve been orphaned by my regular assistant (who’s moving to Dallas!) and I’ve still got lots of boxes to unpack, it really feels like home. I finally have room to stretch out, both physically and artistically.
But one of the most unexpected pleasures of my new digs is my neighbor Albert. He’s also my landlord. And he’s is one of the most amusing and interesting characters I’ve met in a long time. Aside from being a very accomplished sculptor, he is also an avid and successful antique car collector. It’s a never-ending source of amusement to me that every few days, I’ll pop out of my cave for some fresh air and there will be the most magnificent hunk of steel, chrome and glass that I have ever seen.
One random evening a few weeks back was no exception. Albert was working a deal with a guy from Dubai to sell him a couple of Albert’s cars. One of them was this breathtakingly beautiful 1950’s Cadillac Fleetwood limo. Suffice it to say they don’t make ’em like this anymore.
By the way, that’s my studio’s roll-up door to the right of this photo. I literally almost crashed into this Caddy when I walked out of my door!
This week’s photoshoot featured fashions for pregnant moms, t-shirts and other stuff for new dads and grandfathers, a bra fit guide for new moms, and a whole mess o’ really cute baby clothes.
And one of our star models was none other than my darling niece Anna. The little pipsqueak charmed everybody in my studio with her good nature, her great “looks”, and her wonderful results. I’m not kidding when I say this kid has talent.
My good friend and partner in many awesome corporate events Rose Lanham has gone solo with an exciting new venture, Bonjour Events. I wish her all the best. I’ve worked side-by-side with Rose in the most stressful situations you can imagine, and she’s always graceful and professional.
If you want to work with somebody for your personal event, your corporate event, or just need a shoulder to cry on when your event (or your event planner!) has you spinning out of control, I encourage you to contact Rose. Go check her out her brand new website at http://www.bonjourevents.com/.
Here are a few words from Rose herself:
Rose Lanham is an event producer with over 12 years of experience in sports and corporate event marketing, most recently as the Natl. Events Manager for Yahoo!’s advertising sales division. She wants to share some of the tips that would have helped her along the way and hopes you find this site to be a useful community for sharing ideas. Perhaps like you, Rose was always attracted to event planning and volunteered at every opportunity to learn more and gain new experiences. Knowing a career in event management was her plan, Rose pursued a role at the Atlanta Olympic Games Yachting division, experiencing first hand the importance of precise event logistics and the stamina it takes to work in this industry.
A hearty and heartfelt “Mazel Tov” to our son Max, his castmates, their awesome director Mary Bettini Blank, the talented orchestra, and all the parents and friends of the Burlingame High School drama program. The show is a fun, irreverent romp and is very entertaining. We are, of course, deeply prideful of Max’s performance as The Narrator. Check out some delightful scenes from the show here on my website.
