Trafalgar – The Innovator for Guided Vacations

As a little girl, my mom and I loved to visit travel agencies in the 70s and the 80s.  I would always see Trafalgar brochures all over the place…posters on the walls, brochures, magazines etc. and I always wondered what travel experiences could be discovered behind this name? My curiosity remained but was never realized because mom […]

Samantha Brown at 2015 The Los Angeles Travel and Adventure Show

If you are a travel enthusiast, it is a no brainer that you should have visited the Annual Los Angeles Travel and Adventure show, held last Febuary 21-22 at the Long Beach Convention Center. It is the largest travel show in the country. It is “THE” spot where travelers and families congregate annually to dream, […]

Howard Jones Returns to Orange County

Before there was EDM or Electronica there was Howard Jones with his synth/electronica genre, at least in my opinion. Howard Jones, the famed English singer/songwriter who had top 40 hit singles in the UK and his 1984 album Human’s Lib went to number one in the UK. This is not the first time I’ve seen […]

Hindsight’s Laura Ramsey

VH-1’s Hindsight is a great nostalgia TV show especially if you’re a Gen-Xer like me. Going back on the decade of the ’90s – it’s the era of alternative rock, dialing star 69, video rental stores, pagers, and AOL – America Online Instant messaging (did I mention I got addicted to AOL emails/chatrooms and Instant Messaging?) […]

Wing Lam – Surfer, Taco Maker and CEO of Wahoo’s

I don’t usually interview business personalities but when I ran into Wing Lam this past Christmas at the Lake Forest restaurant, I realized that Wahoo’s and the CEO at the helm are just as much a part of pop culture as movie stars and musicians. I recent had the opportunity to interview Wing and his wife Kelly. They […]

Dancing with Billy Idol

  It was 1983 and I bought my first Billy Idol vinyl album “Rebel Yell“. Fast forward 33 years, he was still rockin’ with his punk/new wave genre at The Observatory Santa Ana last Feb. 21st. It was the last leg of his US tour. In the early ’80s, Idol was a member of the […]

She Rocks Awards 2015

I was so thrilled to celebrate the achievements of these fabulous women for this year’s She Rocks Awards at the Anaheim Hilton during the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) event. Not to mention it was my first time to cover this award show that honor women from all walks of the industry as musicians, […]

The National Association of Music Merchants promotes the pleasures and benefits of making music and serves music enthusiasts of all age. NAMM seeks out the newest innovations in musical products, recording technology, sound and lighting. I was able to attend NAMM’s Media Preview Day last Jan. 21st at […]

My Oscar Week

Yes I have a fever… an Oscar fever. Every year, since I was a little girl, I always did the countdown to the Oscar’s Awards. Yes, even that young I was already into glitz and glamour. I remember in the 80’s when the movie “Terms of Endearment” received an Oscars Award for Best Picture in […]
