My Interests

Capturing the moment I'm in and saving it in my mind like a film clip. Eating ice cream when it's cold out, eating ice cream when it's hot out, letting my poodle Movie Star share my ice cream. Being on stage in front of as many people as possible (spotlight addiction) and backstage with my girls! I LOVE Paris and reading Colette while I'm there. I engage in several conversations a week with my friends that over 70 years old (hanging out with older people is like getting a postcard from your future). My cheese enchilada's are bi-coastal famous. Travelling is like taking a nap from the mundane. I sigh with relief everytime I go to Coney Island.

I'd like to meet:

World Famous *BOB* has created a new three week workshop that will allow participants the chance to create a community of love and safety that allows them to take larger steps towards who they ultimately want to be - whether it's on stage or in everyday life situations.
