In the Press

Welcome to my “trophy” room. I wouldn’t describe myself as a bragger, but there’s a time and place when modesty should be shoved in the corner, and this is one of them. After all, I want you to be impressed by my hard work. Here you’ll find the shout-outs and accolades The Beauty Girl has earned, the stories I write for other magazines and websites (my life revolves around deadlines!), my latest TV appearances, the events, parties and partnerships I’ve created, along with pretty much anything else I’ve done that toots my own horn.

My Reality TV Show Debut! My Episode on The Style Network’s Chicagolicious

I had so much fun appearing on The Style network’s Chicagolicious last night. I watch a lot of reality TV, so getting to be in an episode and seeing what really goes on behind-the-scenes was a treat. I have to say, there are a ton of cameras. Surprisingly, they’re not in your face. Sure, you know they’re there (always behind you), but they’re easy to forget about at the same time. Another interesting fact: You’ll never hear the word “action” called by the director like you do on movie sets. Instead the director lets you know when the cameras are rolling. Apparently this detail is meant to seem like they’re simply capturing the situation that’s happening at that moment rather than filming a scene for a TV show. For this episode I participated in three days of filming and wanted to share some photos I took during my experience. P.S. If you missed it, click here to see when my episode (Chicagolicious: Hair Battle Royale) will air again. Read More

My TODAY show segment: Modern Online Clubs

I was back at the TODAY show this week, but this time around I was on the 4th hour with Hoda and Kathie Lee. I had a blast with them and even got my own jingle! They are like the aunt or friend we’d all love to have — fun, supportive and a little bit cuckoo in the best way. Here’s the segment in case you missed it along with some behind-the-scenes photos.

Posing with Kathie Lee and Hoda. The night before the segment I stopped by the studio to set up the products with the prop stylist. Here I am sitting on the famous TODAY show couch. 30 seconds before going live. This photo was taken during our segment. Loved chatting with TODAY show style editor Bobbie Thomas.

TV Segment: Back To School Fashions featured on “Great Day St. Louis”

I’m back in Chicago after a whirlwind work trip (3 cities in 3 days)! Here’s the TV segment I did this morning in St. Louis. And I had an hour to kill before my flight so I put on my tourist hat and went to the top of the arch. The structure really is breathtaking as is the view from the top. I have the photos to prove it. See below. view from inside the top of the arch.
