Rock Star Wife

Last night I trailed behind my swexy hubby Chris Swann to watch him in concert. He truly is one of the baddest bass players in the country!! Here he is rocking the HenBev B4 bass.

Check him out!!

Hang up and Drive - Saturn Vue Hybrid

Best Feature: Ummm it's a Hybrid... the gas mileage hands down.

Worst Feature: Nothing much the seats in back went all the way down but it was a bit heavy to pull back up.

Techno Features? XM radio, OnStar of course. Power everything.

Girl Friendly? Yes, you know it really really is good for us girls who have got a lot going on.

Trunk Space? And how. When I was taping this weekend I put the seats down and sat crossed legged in the back. I ate lunch and redid my makeup (for the camera).

My Take: Man the hybrid technology is amazing. This should not be the exception, it should be the rule with cars. We really are saving the environment. Driving a Hybrid make yo feel like you're doing something really responsible for our planet. The Saturn Vue is a really great car whether you're single married, kids or not. This size is just perfect. Hey this is cool- rather tan a spare tire, tee's a tire sealant and inflator kit. Hows that for saving our earth? I want a Hybrid.

How many folks I saw that need to hang up and drive? I was only distracted by 4 annoying folks this time.

My hand is actually burning on the hood HA!!

This is the console


That Hybrid Technology

Yes I can sit cross legged in the back- no problem

Oceanside Harbor Days

This weekend I covered a two-day event, Harbor Days in Oceanside. Here's the website with the information. Later I'll post a link for you to see once the show airs. Right now my feet hurt, I'm tired and sun burned (yes black folks do burn). In this picture I'm doing my final outro. I'm actually at the end of the two days and the end of my wits.


Etiquette Expert Opinion: I don't know I'm too tired to think...goodnight.

The Duchess

Protocol, prim, and proper. Last night I saw a screening of the film The Duchess starring Keria Knightely. Prior to the film we there was a tea and dessert reception in the theater lobby. I also host a teble setting contest where movie goers (women) raced against one anther to see who could set a table the fastest and correctly. It was fun. Well fun watching. Good job ladies!!!

I really enjoyed the film especially since it was based on a true story. Needless to say the whole protocol thing had me intrigued. I left wanting to more about Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. So now I'm pouring over the Internet reading so much. Interesting story.

Oh there was all of about 4 men at the screening and it seemed as thought they had no choice but to attend. I though that was funny. Girls take a ladies night out and go see this film. It's a great story, the costumes are amazing. Yes definitely an Oscar next year for that. You'll leave want to to learn more about the people and this era.

Etiquette Expert Opinion: Keep a limit on your house guests stay. Set a time to stay and an exact time to leave.

Wealth TV - Holiday Etiquette

Yippeeee, I was Invited back to tape another segment for Etiquette 101. It's a show that airs on Wealth TV. It's an HD Network check you local listings HERE. This show was on Holiday Etiquette which is coming up and we can all use some tips.

Hang Up and Drive - GMC Acadia

Best Feature: The Rearview Camera System!! I love it the rear image show up in the rear view mirror!!

Worst Feature: I don't know but that click-clack turn signal really gets to me.

Techno Features? Okay there were lots of them and this is not really high tech but I LOVED the dual sun roofs (hey it's California baby)!

Girl Friendly? Yes indeed honey. I was able to get up in the truck without having to hike up the dress I have on. Plus the seats were SUPER easy to fold down.

Trunk Space? From the rear to the drivers seats. Plenty of space. I had a photo shoot and fit my rolling rack in with ease.

My Take: Soccer moms this is a big YES. It seats 7 and not a "fake" seven. I mean a for real 7. The second row has 2 captains chairs. There's plenty of space to get in the back. I can't say how much I really liked the rearview camera system. It was really nice just having to look in the review mirror and not down at the console panel. Plus there's safety all around- it's got 1st, 2nd and 3rd row head curtain air bags. For me, it had a really smooth ride for a big car.

How many folks I say that need to hang up and drive? 9

Hopping in- glam style

Climate control in the back seats baby

Tons of space in the back

Another shot of the back (darn I should have put the seats down for you)!! But see the drivers seats? Well they fold all the way down to there.
