About Me

I'm new to MySpace, so hang in there with me while I learn the ropes! I'm cajun born and cajun bred, born in New Orleans. My parents raised our family in a small town outside of New Orleans called Hattiesburg, MS, in which I attended high school (or "hick school" as I now refer to it). I went to Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA for college and then back to Mississippi for grad school. After living in Dallas for seven years, I moved back to Los Angeles in 2001 to work as Director of Worldwide Sales for a major hotel chain. I now own a meeting planning/special events company headquarted in Manhattan Beach, CA, with offices in Reno/Tahoe and Honolulu (www.meetingdesigners.com). I live on the beach (don't hate me for that); travel a lot because of my job; visit Mom and Dad in Houston, TX when I can; still work with pageant contestants to help their dreams come true; and hope to one day have my own "E! True Hollywood Story!" LOL!

My Interests

I am an avid traveler, and my favorite destinations in the US are New Orleans and Las Vegas. I love New Orleans Saints and Texas Longhorns Football teams. I love going to movies and comedy shows, and I love to laugh! I also work with contestants competing in the Miss USA and Miss America Pageants.

I'd like to meet:

There are WAY TOO many people I would like to meet for the first time and again who inspire me in so many different ways. I'm a firm believer that you cannot have too many friends in life, either. I would love to meet again one of the first pageant winners I ever met---Cindy Williams (Mississippi USA 1986, now a news anchor in Maine) who truly inspired me with her friendshp and belief in me when I had no faith in myself in high school. I owe A LOT to her and thank her for introducing me to pageants. If I ever moved back to Dallas, I would want to catch up with my fellow alum and once ruler of the USA beauty queens Shannon, and we would eat Hagen Dazs ice cream and watch Brad Pitt movies until the cows came home, while gossiping about Pepperdine! Now there ARE some people who I care never to meet again...won't mention any names....RYAN SEACREST. (I'm kidding...well...not really...)

Music:

Pink, U2, Love Inc, James Blunt, and I LOVE BON JOVI!!!!! (I once was given a Clay Aiken CD, and it is still in its original wrapper....LOL....never once played!---Kathy Griffin HAS to love me for that!).

Movies:

My favorite movies are "Heathers" and any horror movie. I like to be scared!!!

Television:

I don't get to watch too much TV, but when I do, it is usually "CSI" (which I Tivo), "America's Next Top Model," and shows on Discovery, or HGTV. I also love Kathy Griffin's reality show. I love that bitch!

Books:

Favorite book: "Oh the Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Seuss.

Heroes:

My mom and dad (I know--cliche); tennis champion Chris Evert (I idolized her growing up since I played competitive USTA tennis); Miss USA and Miss Universe 1995 Chelsi Smith; ALL the pageant contestants I have ever worked with, especially Danielle, who is like my little sister; and Hillary Rodham Clinton for the glass ceilings and barriers she has broken in our country.

Observing an illusion....

I found myself observing. The setting, the sounds, the little itty-bitty nuances of people that create a single moment of reality that you find yourself a part of&.but not really& Because you're obser...
