Yesterday I did a segment of WWL-TV to talk about SBS, I encouraged folks to get out and buy local, to get something to refresh the home for the holiday season.

Unfortunately time was way too short and the graphics I sent to show what I was talking about didn't get shown. Instead the director had me do live teasers. I don't mind, but it ate into my prep time, including a quiet moment to go over my notes. Live TV is fun, but it is not without challenges.

Loved seeing you on tv. Love the purple hair! Lots of great ideas here....yes they should have shown some of your photos. Their camera work was really lacking. But you were great!
ReplyDeleteMight be shopping small but buying big at Lucullus on Chartres St. in New Orleans. It is a fabulous shop. We've been going there for years. Highly recommend.
