One cannot produce a blog minus technology. Pity. I hate technology. Not only is it wildly frustrating, it is the epitome of rude. Finding a human being to discourse problems, problems and finally opinions on the lack of human help with those problems is impossible. Although The Diaries site created a couple of years ago… Continue reading New Year…New Blog

Women Who Behave…
10:38 PM...Twenty-One days until Amour turns exclusively Duchess Diaries Ever really considered the phrase, "Women who behave rarely make history?" It comes from 1970's feminist Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, who penned a tome pointing out that women who behave are left out of history entirely. So how is it we become women of history? According to… Continue reading Women Who Behave…
Snippets From A Day…
Put a group of entrepreneurs in an executive board room with The Fixer, mix well and see what happens. I love to see the reactions of others to her strange wisdom, gifts, insights and blunt conversation. There are some wide eyes, some doubts and, no doubt, some soul searching. Each person has an idea, a… Continue reading Snippets From A Day…
The Pen Is Mightier Than Your Job…
1:24 PM...Twenty-seven days and counting until Amour moves to Duchess Diaries... Well, well, well. Some see The Duchess Diaries as merely a bit of fluff at day's end. Throw in some fashion sport, a little gossip, mix in our beloved snark and obsession with pointy toe pumps and that's the whole of it, right? Not so fast… Continue reading The Pen Is Mightier Than Your Job…
Launching: Business Growth…Squee
10:42 PM We're hoping we've worked out the kinks. As with any venture involving the web, well, you know how I feel about that shit. Why can't we all just mix up a pitcher of dirty martinis and chat? I'm told the world doesn't work that way anymore. I am however, mannerly as ever, happy to… Continue reading Launching: Business Growth…Squee
Old Dogs Learn to Live Without Oscar…
Today's topic was supposed to be, "Old dogs unafraid of new tricks." And then Oscar died. If us old dogs don't have to learn new tricks living without the influence of Oscar de la Renta, we don't know the definition of challenge. Grey Goose in hand, I wipe away a tear as the words of… Continue reading Old Dogs Learn to Live Without Oscar…
Part 2: Hold Onto Your Hats…
8:48 PM "Men invest in business," she says. "Women, we want the business but we look for two for one deals. American marketing companies have been very successful brainwashing us to forget we intuitively know value when we see it.” “Women are much worse afflicted by inelastic expectations than men. We believe in fairy tales.… Continue reading Part 2: Hold Onto Your Hats…
The Tale of The Green Bra…
6:48 PM We get one jaunt to the sex shop and it's back to business. The Fixer says even writers must learn business; no matter our biggest goal is just to wear pearls again. She begins somberly. Seventy-two percent of businesses--shops, nonprofits, products, services-- fail within the first three years. That's not to say some… Continue reading The Tale of The Green Bra…
And Now This?…
Can I write a summary for television? I guess so. Evidently, we're taking this show on the road. Advisor Girl informs me we're going to television. At this point, who the hell am I to argue? It's just a nationally syndicated talk show with a well known host. No biggie. Never say you can't do… Continue reading And Now This?…
Ladies, We’re Talking Business…
9:52 PM We talk business. How to master it, make money and create the lives of which we dream. We touch on lots of personal stuff since that's got to squidge itself out of the way. But with The Fixer, it's mostly business. Listen up girls, she says women need be more mindful. Advisor Girl… Continue reading Ladies, We’re Talking Business…
