BABY BOOMER DIVA HALL OF FAME

Woo woo! What a day I had yesterday. First, I was accepted into the Baby Boomer Diva Hall of Fame. That's me in the top row on the left. What a great honor. I got lots of email--some from as far away as Australia.

THEN! I found out I have been selected to speak at the "Performing Motherhood: Outlaw Mothers in Music, Media, Arts and Cultural Expression" in New York City. I will hosting a workshop titled "Mommy Loudest: The art of Self Promotion". This event is sponsored by ARM/Mamapalooza.

I am embracing my age, gender and maternal instincts in grand style these days.

I also conducted a blogging workshop at Gilda's Club yesterday. I had a great time. We ended up hanging out together for an extra hour and a half. They say the best way to learn is to teach. I'd have to say that's true because I think I learned as much as my students yesterday!

ROCK -N- NOODLZ

I have what my friend Stacy calls "high class problems". I was invited to participate in a Baby Boomer Divas weekend getaway in Daytona Beach, FL. I was ecstatic until I learned the date--April 19. Problem is I have a fundraiser at Kent Lake Elementary School on April 18. I could not find a late night Friday flight or an early morning Saturday one from Detroit to Orlando, Daytona or even Jacksonville. I am so bummed out. I had to say no.

BUT!!! I am going to have a rockin' good time at "Rock -N- Noodles". There's no problem there.

I just wrapped up my first magazine article for Strut. It was a blast. I got to interview Skye Hoppus, Karen Newman, April Boyle and my own band mate Kara Rasmussen for a story on how to demonstrate the knack, attitude and power of kickass chic!

MORE BIG IDEAS

So I haven't seen The Mydols on The Big Idea yet. (My mom taped it.) But I got lots of calls, emails etc. from people who did. Everyone said we all sounded smart. I know we looked good. They have great make-up artists. The best! (While we were getting our makeup done Suze Orman came in to get hers for her show. Wow is she cute!!)

One of the make-up artists, Laura, told me I am on her reel too. I'll be up on her website soon. I feel VERY honored.

I love The Big Idea. The producers are all the NICEST people and the guests all really do have great ideas. We met the inventors of Trunkettes! I love them. (http://www.trunkettes.com/) I want some.

And what about the boss you ask? Donny is adorable. He's very much in the zone on the set and has great energy. Best thing about him? He calls me "Kiddo" whenever he says goodbye and I sort of melt.

Back to earth...Today, I had lunch with KAREN NEWMAN. I was starstruck. Holy cow, is she ever pretty. I'm doing a article for Strut magazine and she is a part of it. The story comes out in May. She is really, really nice and very articulate.

I'm also interviewing author Skye Hoppus for the same piece.

And! I am saving the best news for last...WILLIE AUDITIONED FOR JAZZ BAND AND MADE IT! I never had a doubt, but boy is he relieved. Great job KIDDO!

THE MYDOLS EXCELLENT ADVENTURE

Wow! The Mydols appearance on The Big Idea was fantastic. Kara and Wensdy were great on camera and they looked beautiful!

And what can I say about Marianne Williamson? She is so cute. I wanted to hug her. She autographed a copy of her book "The Age of Miracles" for me. Then I gave her a copy of my book, and she asked me to sign it for her. That was the first request for my autograph EVER! I will remember it forever.

I'll write more later...I have to get some work done!
