A few days ago, I got to cross “DJing at Victoria’s Secret” off my bucket list!!! How did the store manager find me? Instagram. Last week, I was contacted about DJing at a very cool event that’s right up my alley—She Rocks 2017. The contact form read: “…we are still in need of a badass […]
HuffPost today alerted me to a wedding portrait a bride’s mother had commissioned that, if you’re a pop culture/sci-fi geek, is pretty amazing. It’s like a Where’s Waldo, or, if you prefer, a Sgt.

I was lucky enough to make friends with Alisa Meredith, a visual social media marketing expert, at Social Media Marketing World. She gave a presentation on paid Pinterest ads, otherwise known as “promoted pins.” Her expertise was just oozing from her pores—she was on fire! So I had to pick her brain about Pinterest since […]
