I referenced these as “stuck at home” pictures somewhere and a friend reached out concerned about why. I explained that among a few work-related reasons, this is the only way these outfits will ever see the light of day. I would hazard a guess that if I shot two different outfits a day for 365 consecutive days, there would be many, many more outfits that would never be worn. Yeah, the wardrobe is WAY too big!

This Made Me So Very Happy

Summer weather, even though it isn’t yet summer. May 11, 2022, a post-event Happy Hour gathering with the fundraising team from The Cleveland International Film Festival! Forgive me if I misquote anything here (I am doing this from my fading memory), we raised approximately $88,000 for the festival. Our goal, set without any idea how patrons would respond after the two-year COVID shutdown and our move to Playhouse Square, was $100,000. But we averaged more per live attendee than ever (and yes, some of the donations were online and many attendees remains virtual through the streaming festival). Almost 4X the amount!

So it was well into the 80’s temperature-wise, so this gal went cold shoulder, short skirt, sun hat and all cute and went about her day.

So there she is as she walked around a mall for quite a while before meeting her teammates at a great spot right on the river in Cleveland’s Flats. Not much more of a story, but again, getting out there. Being the woman I was born to be. Being smart, appropriate (and cute to boot!), supremely confident and highly visible.
