Timely Manor

Welcome to my virtual salon. Please, come in and do stay awhile.

The Contessa's dream:

...And someday, I shall have a grand mansion where we all can meet, and I will call it "Timely Manor."

Timely: occurring at a suitable or opportune time; well-timed

Manor: the main house on an estate; a mansion

Greetings for the New Year

This lovely sentiment was the closing paragraph of an email message I received from *Last Night Santa Cruz:

"Together, let's create a world full of play and celebration, where self-expression is a matter of course. A world full of surprises, in which relationships are authentic and open-ended. A world in which we share a direct connection to the world around us. Where one does not have to ask permission to realize one’s dreams of adventure and possibility."

Love and Celebration,
Last Night Santa Cruz


Now isn't that nice?


*Last Night Santa Cruz is a spontaneous people’s parade, a do-it-yourself (DIY) celebration organized at a grassroots level. No city sponsorship or corporate donors, all of us make it happen together. This family-friendly, all ages, all-inclusive parade will take place New Year’s Eve at sunset.

World AIDS Day

Hey Everyone,

I hope you'll all join me in lighting a candle on the 3rd Annual Light to Unite website. For every candle lit, Bristol-Myers Squibb will donate $1 (up to $100,000) to the National AIDS fund. You can find more information and light a candle at www.LightToUnite.org.

Please spread the word!

Thanks.
