About Me

From San Francisco by way of Kansas, Quit job as sales rep when I turned 40 in 2001 so I could go to school at U.C. Berkeley for TESL credential and then went to Hawaii, Chile and now in Spain to teach English. Got tired of teaching so did other things for my company here in Madrid, Vaughan Systems. Now I have a very popular radio program on Vaughan Radio called Women on the Rise - an interview show (not just with women anymore). We have 250,000 listeners and I meet the most fantastic people, many who are now my best friends here. I also am lucky in that I work as an editor when I'm not doing the radio and I get to work from home....life is good here!

I heard about Splendora from...

Paula Owen Viola, international makeup artist extraordinare!

Michal Buble, Five for Fighting, Wild Cherry, The Lighthouse Family, Blackeye Peas

I'm Watching

Don't watch TV, only internet videos.

Nothing at the moment. Really love Running with Scissors...probably the last person on the planet to read it.

I'm Renting These DVDs

The Office (American version), Rome, series two

I Just Bought

A Gucci handbag for 15 euros at a Vintage store. It's probably fake.

I'm Currently Obsessing About

How to find a worthy man who isn't a pushover or a player..here in Madrid.

Style Icon(s)

no icons, just real friends of mine here who really know how to dress themselves. Spanish women put themselves together really well (except for that pointy witch show look that just won't go away!)

Celebrity Alter Ego(s)

Holly Hunter, Katharine Hepburn, Hilary Swank

What's in Your Handbag

Cigarettes, keys, lip-plumper YSL lipcreme, sunglasses, wallet with 15 euros in it, cell phone

What's in Your Closet?

Bare bones wardrobe. I've thrown almost everything away; what I have now that I actually LIKE to wear are things from friends, or a few pairs of jeans and tops I bought in Madrid.
