• The Flashionista Report

"I publish The Flashionista Report where we celebrate the wisdom, wit, and awareness of modern fashionable worldly women with Hot Flashes you can actually enjoy."

I've had more than one life; just like most women and most cats. For twenty five years, my career as a design director required researching, writing and speaking about lifestyle trends and giving them commercial viability for the fashion industry. Five years ago I began focusing on style from the inside out.

The Flashionista Report is a voice for interpreting popular cultureand inspiring new ways of living, loving, and thinking for modern, fashionable, self-aware women. I launched in response to a lack of interesting content for the style-conscious, female boomer demoraphic.

The Flashionista Report delivers fresh and appealing content to women 45 and older. We cover hot topics and cool information relevant to our demographic, to sharpen, empower, and motivate new thinking, this also includes introducing new products and cutting-edge services.

"The first 50 years was the learning curve. Every success, faiilure, stroke of luck, lost love, and embarrassing moment have been absorbed and processed. Modern boomers have accumulated 50 years of experience and still have plenty of time to use it. Make the next 50 the best yet."

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

I think part of the 'change' involves a truer perception of reality about self. It's a real eye opener and a great motivator.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I just started a new business.  Right now my 10 year plans have to do with the success of the business.  I've had a business before and I've always felt if I would have stayed with it I would have had a very successful business by now.  But, at the time it wasn't financially possible for me to do so.  This time I'm going about it so I can avoid getting myself in that position again.

You should have turned your love of parties into a business.  It worked for Martha Stewart! AND It won't hurt you to attend a few LESS parties and a few MORE classes!
