My friend, Jen, and I were lucky enough to appear in this video a few times. You can see me in a black leather jacket from -3:45 to -3:43, then again from -3.04 to -3:09 sitting down and seated wearing a pink sweater with Jon on the left standing up.

Click on the sound bite below to hear the broadcast: The Lady in Red approached the topic of gun control with guests Damon D'Amore and Ian Wittman on this radio show hosted by Access Films Producer Ben Wiggins. This discussion was a by-product of the tragedy in Newtown, CT in December 2012. We certainly understand that some people are very sensitive to this issue. We did our best to approach this super-sensitive and highly tragic issue with a total lack of sensationalism. One of the topics mentioned was blog The Lady in Red had published on this issue, Banning Hand Guns is Not the Way to Go, as well. |

I got to name a new drink at Tre Piani in Princeton, NJ. It's called the 'Pom Noir'. It's now on the menu, so ask for it by name!
The bartender, Dennis, at Tre Bar created the martini, which is a brilliant flavor burst of pomegranate juice, Grey Goose Cherry Noir vodka, and other yummylicious libations. It's like drinking ripe black cherries bursting with flavor, balanced by pomegranates, in the sophistication of a chilled martini. |
