On the grounds of the famed Presidio in San Francisco, in a building that used to be Army barracks, sits the Walt Disney Family Museum. Years after Walt Disney died, his daughter and grandson co-founded this endeavor. I was lucky enough to spend half a day there during my recent trip to San Francisco. It’s [...]

Last Friday, just as I returned home from an errand, Fedex drives up. I was still in the driveway. I wasn’t expecting anything, but I’m always thrilled to get a package. The guy jumped out and handed me a padded envelope, addressed to me. I glance over at the return address–Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. [...]

I was first introduced to Willa Shalit at Blogalicious last year. I am ashamed to say that I had never even heard of her before then. Willa is such an amazing woman–she’s headed theatrical productions (like The Vagina Monologues), she’s an artist (her lifecast sculptures are in 5 Presidential Libraries), she’s also an author and [...]

My trip last week to Chicago was cold short and cold sweet. I was in town for the LATISM (Latins in Social Media) conference. I had a great time–met some great new friends and reconnected with some old ones. I also met some brand representatives. And almost became a makeup artist. HA! Now, for those [...]

For nearly a week, I’ve been MIA. That’s because I was in New York City. I had an absolute BLAST, once I got over the CHILLY CHILLY. I was actually there to celebrate Black Girls Rock–a nonprofit movement started by Beverly Bond. Beverly, a DJ, was outraged by the way Black females are portrayed in [...]

Back in the Spring, I was fortunate enough to be a part of a Bloggers Press Junket sponsored by Walt Disney Studios and DreamWorks. One of the activities was an afternoon spent watching a lineup of upcoming films. It was then that I was introduced to Real Steel. It’s an underdog story that intertwines boxing, [...]

One of the most FAB places that I visited this summer was Luxury Avenue in Cancun. I got the chance to spend some time there while on my amazing press junket in August. This, my fellow shoppers, IS A MALL. High end brands, elegant surroundings–everything about the place says FAB.U.LOUS. Luxury Avenue Cancun debuted as [...]
