Richard O’Barry, the dolphin trainer for the once popular TV show, Flipper, demonstrates a massive amount of courage in his gripping documentation of the fate… Read the Rest…

Sep

2011

Remembering 9/11, I made these cookies for the local fire department as a thank you for their commitment and service to our community.

2011

Skincare is a top priority of mine. I have tried using every face wash that promised me it would clear, moisturize, add radiance, protect, and exfoliate my skin, and the end result is always the same. I toss out another half empty bottle of whatever-it-is, and move on to another product or even one of… Read the Rest…

I recently had the opportunity to model as a female version of Marty McFly with an amazing Delorean straight out of Back to the Future. The shoot will be used to benefit Parkinson’s disease research, via the Michael J. Fox Foundation. What a perfect match to use the Delorean from Michael’s incredible role as Marty… Read the Rest…
