I am totally overrated – Page 6

We won!

Remember when I was on the Katie Couric show last year to talk about The Traveling Red Dress, but then my cat totally hogged the lime-light? Well, apparently whatever Hunter S. Thomcat did worked, because I just found out that the segment won an Exceptional Merit in Media Award last night. This is very nice becauseContinue reading “We won!”

It’s a vicious circle
