Face Forward
Saturday Reggie and I got to escape our valley abode and travel west to Santa Monica and join our friends at the 4th annual Face Forward Gala, the theme “A Gatsby Affair”.

Gigi’s Meanderings Around the Web #11
This week zoomed by, it is all a blur. I spent yesterday cleaning out my garage, what an ordeal, how did I ever accumulate so much stuff? Why have I kept every vase from every floral arrangement I have received for the past 25 years? How many sets of holiday lights does one family need? […]
Post & Beam– And– A Film Screening
I love films especially independent films. Some where deep inside of me is a story waiting to be transformed for the big screen.

At My Age…
I’m going to be honest here. We live is a youth obsessed society, everywhere you look there are images of celebrities in the news, on the TV, FB etc., whether an update on Bey’s comings and goings or some Kardashian story, we are bombarded by these images. Our “norm” of what a person looks like […]
