So Much Fun Teaching

I taught a class at CreativeLive.com. It was so much fun. They flew me out to Seattle, picked me up in a car, put me in a hotel. I had my own stylist! Hair and makeup! When one of the PAs asked me what kind of milk I wanted in my coffee, I totally blushed. The […]

It’s Been So LONG

I always forget to update this blog and so, so much has changed. A year ago, I retired from Lip Service. It’s been a mix of emotions, I’m proud of my decision to move on. Lip Service was my identity for nine years, but I was ready. Now Lip Service is carrying on with the […]

Lip Service Kicked Ass Again

The last Lip Service (October 1, 2011) marked our 5th birthday.  It was the best show ever.  I always say that, but it just keeps getting better and better. This time I didn’t even tall a story, I was the host, which was fun, but nerve wracking.  You never get to rest as host.  Check […]
