With hair and makeup out of the way, we sally forth to our third and final essential ingredient of a winning publicity photo.
The retouch.
“But I want to look like myself,” you say.
And good for you. You should. In a recent Vanity Fair interview, 51-year-old film star and legendary beauty, Michelle Pfeiffer was asked to comment on the preponderance of plastic [...]
Some people put on makeup like they brush their teeth or put on clothes, which is to say every day. Some people never go near the stuff. Me, I fall somewhere in between. I wouldn’t go out for the evening without mascara, lip gloss and a smattering of powder, but I would and do frequently roll out [...]
The photos from Friday’s shoot with uber wonderful photographer, Biz Urban are in and FYI, the woman is equal parts saint and wizard. In the course of five plus hours, she put up with my blinking problem, perennially crooked smile, and the wilting heat and still managed to get some good shots.
Some really good shots.
We’ll be posting [...]
Yes, it’s that time. Time to retire my lovely but alas somewhat dated (2006)publicity photos and forge that new photographic frontier: photos that actually look like me. Currently.
To that end, today, all day, I’ll be primping, prepping, and yes preening for new photos by Manhattan photographer, the lovely and talented Biz Urban.
And bonus, we’re going to shoot before [...]
My fellow Harlequin author, Geri Krotow’s World War II set category romance novel, A Rendezvous to Remember, may be sitting on the presidential night stand “as we speak.”
The recipient of said signed book is Michelle, not Barack, though he definitely gave it a thumbing through. “This looks sexy,” he said.
Not only is the First Lady making [...]

Among our distinguished guests will be visiting out-of-towner, PW blogger, Barbara Vey. For the June Salon, Barbara’s videotaped set of interviews asking LJ guests to define romance fiction [...]
Last night I was an audience member of The Colbert Report with buddy Maya Rodale. Both longtime fans of the show, we were thrilled to be seated in the VIP audience seats (row #2!!!) where we would be up close and (hopefully) personal with our hero.
We were, we did, and I’m happy to rapport…oops, I [...]
I was chatting with a friend the other day, who asked me if I happened to know how to delete a Facebook post. “Sure,” I answered without hesitating and went on to tell her how.
Afterward, the “wow” factor hit me like a wave! I really do know how to delete FB posts as well as do lots [...]
Okay, I just all but brushed shoulders with Matthew Modine (”And the Band Played On,” “Gross Anatomy”), one of my all-time favorite actors, and I’m just un-cool enough to hop online and report it.
I say “all but” because at six feet four he stood head and shoulders above me. I was dashing out to pick up [...]
Okay, the past s-i-x plus days of straight rain aside, springtime in New York is well, pretty great. Still, the grass is always greener, especially once you put the manuscript deadline to bed and pull the vacation pictures out.
This March, author buddy Liz Maverick and I decamped from a blizzard-stricken New York for Paris. Liz was the perfect [...]
