One Happy Girl

What is it about having your makeup done by a pro that just puts a spring in a girl's step?!

For the last two days, our former station makeup artist has been doing up everyone's faces for new station-wide pictures and promos. I swear, I've been walking on air.


Gina and I chat about it in this latest installment of the Real Botox Diaries, along with a hint of a blog to come--a "refresh" of my home decor.

My awesome neighbor helped me do it, and she is one of the most talented interior decorators I have EVER met. That's saying A LOT, as I've worked with many over the years, especially during my Phoenix years while hosting my magazine show, Sonoran Living.

I will post pictures soon--and promise to share the top tips I learned from my girlfriend Kimberly.

Her future classmates were sitting on the floor outside, lined up against the hallway, waiting to leave for P.E.. As we approached, one little blonde girl shouted, “New girl, sit here!” Another joined in, “No. Sit here!” And another, “What’s your name, new girl?” I was stunned--flab...

That Time I Was Almost a Pop Star

Anri's Circuit of Rainbow music video (That's me on the right!) It was what I'd always imagined life would be like as a big-time singer. The massive, metallic stage opens like Moses parting the Red Sea...the recognizable guitar riff blaring throughout Tokyo's legendary Budokan arena. Five of us dancers on pedestals of varying heights, box-step and bounce...summoning the tens of thousands of screaming Japanese fans to get louder. Anticipation builds with every "Come on!" Let's go! Get it up!" we declare. Finally, the beloved Anri dances on to the stage...and the crowd goes wild... The year was 1988. I had dropped out of college for two semesters after a fighter-pilot-older-brother-of-my-high-school-friend told me he "saw Americans working" at Tokyo Disneyland . "You should go do that, Tracy!" he said, standing in my family's Tampa, Florida kitchen during Christmas break of my sophomore year. I called nearby D...
