Foreign Work
The allure of Europe for media and marketing certainly makes sense; there are so many markets looking for smooth ideas and polished programs. Unfortunately, sometimes taking your talents to the land of the Euro isn’t as cushy as it sounds. Romania’s Arcul de Triumf, a replication of Paris’ Arc de Triomphe. It seems that only […]
Los Angeles vs. New York with Cosmo’s Associate Beauty Editor
As a lifelong Angeleno it’s difficult to always connect with the passive aggressive (and sometimes just plain aggressive) attitude of my New York counterparts. For them, they are more virtuous, better informed and, well, they reside at the center of the universe. Shoot, even most of the international flights are gatewayed through their Kennedy Airport. […]
Chewing Gum at the Office
Just another day at the office. The call from my side went something like this: “Montana, huh?” “You want to test your new product into Montana?” “But, why?” Twenty minutes later I took my directive and charted a marketing solution. But first it was time to speak with the natives. Or near natives. I have […]

Near its capital in Muscat is one of the most amazing sites: immense sandstone citadels that were carved naturally from the wind and have petrified over the last four centuries to remain in nearly the same […]
World Portraits: Charming
MOROCCO…Snake charming, one of the oldest professions of India, is making its way into the Middle East and delighting tourists and residents of the North African nation as of late.

From the TV Studio to Meet the Press host Tim Russert’s office to the 9/11 exhibit, there are almost too many things to […]

Here I am, rocked you like a hurricane Here I am, rocked you like a hurricane My body is burning It starts to shout Desire is coming It breaks out loud Lust is in cages Till storm breaks loose Just have to make it With someone I choose The night is calling I have to […]
World Travels: The Inner Peace of Egypt
People from all walks of life are finding that “mental days” in Egypt are just the passport in improving life perspectives. For some, the search for inner wellness starts in Giza. The chants resonated from deep within the Pharaoh’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza: aaaaaa (a as in ah), eeeeeee (e as in eat), […]
World Travels: England and their Enchanting Nights
Friends on the search for an eatery to rest at after a day of full-on sightseeing Arabian nights, culinary delights and good home cooking surround your taste buds in London. Rain is usually the fastest way to mess up a vacation. In London it’s a way of life. Even in a downpour the locals walk in […]
World Travels: Jordan, an Oasis of Peace and Beauty
From the cloak of Wadi Rum serenity to the nutrient-rich mud from the Dead Sea, Jordan delivers to the heart and soul. Why do we travel? Most of us have everything we need within a few miles of home: a place to sleep, our jobs, luxuries of life and entertainment and more. So what is […]
