LIFE: THOSE THINGS IMPORTANT TO ME!
I love music! Old music, new
music, all kinds of music! But
not all music. My favorite is
Tina Turner. I've seen her in
concert many times, and she
always amazes me. Always.
I think music is a part of our
life, and always should be. My
play list is old - Cher, Elton
John, Rod Stewart, Barbara,
and Madonna. But there are a
lot of songs that just move me.

Family relationships are odd. I
have little or no relationship
with most of my family by my
choosing and their stupidity.
Family are those people you
share your life with. My
partner, Maui, and my close
circle of friends. Happiness in
my life means limited real
family.

I love Halloween. I have so
many great memories from this
holiday! Including celebrating
several "Day of the Dead" in
Mexico...which was interesting.
I think of all my favorite
costumes over the years was
Marge Simpson. The wig was
so tall I could not drive in my
car with it on.

Kari is one of the few people
that I have maintained a
friendship with long term. She
and I became friends when she
was crowned Miss ND Teen USA
in the fall of 1983.
Kari is the kind of friend that is
almost family. I know her
relationships, and many of her
private secrets. In all those
years we have not always
maintained best friend status,
but I have always respected the
limits that being my friend
brings. Over the years Kari has
become my real BBF!

I am a clothes horse...the
worse kind! I have a passion
for shopping. And I do! I think
it is a sport. I have a full
wardrobe in Miami, and
Sheridan, and the mother of all
wardrobes in Denver.
I love a bargain, but more
important is the feel of the
fabric and the fit.
And if that were not enough, I
started my own Estate Sales
company...just to explore other
peoples collections.

I produced my first beauty
pageant in the spring of 1978.
That was a long, long, long time
ago. I loved the pageant
business, and it is a business. I
have worked as a
producer/director,
choreographer, trainer, stage
designer, franchise holder,
recruiter, consultant, and
judge. I was the youngest
franchise holder for Miss
Universe, and almost made a
career out of working in the
industry. ALMOST!

Christmas brings out my
creative juices. And, boy, do I
have creative juices. You can
see some of my decorating in
another section of this
website.
Besides the fun of creating
great decorative porches,
yards, and trees, I love the joy
of Christmas, and the fun of
buying gifts.

I have a passion for traveling.
A passion. In fact, I get bored
if I have to stay in one place for
to long. Lucky, my work takes
me off on so many adventures!
And sharing time between
homes in Denver, NYC, and
Miami Beach, gives me excuses
to jet around.
My favorites are our vacations
with Kari and Steve.

This one is a hard one, because
I am just not an activist for the
gay cause. The cause...should
just be life. I realize that there
are so many rights that people
believe they should have...but if
they don't effect me directly...I
don't let them destroy my
happiness. I have been lucky
enough to meet and fall in love
with my partner of 13 years.

I have had so many pets in my
life that I believe anyone
without some type of pet is
really missing out. Sheridan,
our 10 year old silky terrier is
certainly the center of our life.
He recently need some medical
attention and we stayed at the
vet for nearly 10 hours, just to
make sure he was good. It is
always so sad when someone
loses a pet, and I know how
great it will hurt once Sheridan
is gone.

Connie and I have been on so
many great business and
personal adventures that she
has become family. I am so
lucky to have a great friend to
be able to bounce situations off
and we share a complete
understanding of how our
industry works. She truely is
my other little sister.

CREATIVITY
I have been so blessed to be
one of those creative people
that learns fast and likes a
challenge. I've done so many
different creative things from
decorating pageant stages to
designing major ad champaigns;
from producing commercials to
designing weddings; from
photography to decorating for
Christmas and beyond; from
designing websites to designing
entire business marketing
materials. I have always been
lucky in teaching pageant
contestants, models, and
actors. Learning that we are
only bound by our fear of
success...I can look at
something and say "I can do
that, only better".
