I have a confession. Up until about 6 months ago I had never stepped foot into a barber shop. For years I had brought my two sons to my salon (which is terrific by the way) only to be subjected to pinched cheeks and ladies gossip about J lo's derriere -- you get the point.

Now that Thomas is taller than me I thought it time to switch to a more manly environment. Lucky for us Brian Bunce Barbers is in our very own Perry Hall, hon! (Located next to Outback Steakhouse)

He still lives in London and so the only time we really see each other is when he comes over to perform and this was the first time he would see our new house. He knows I like to

The Vu Skate Shop
I love walking into The Vu skate shop on Harford Road in Parkville.-- just up the street from the Holiday House, memorialized by John Waters' 2004 film "A Dirty Shame". I look so obviously out of place with my aviator sunglasses and highlighted blonde hair (sans dreadlocks and tattoos), but a friendly smile works wonders. Plus the owner, professional skater Gary Smith, is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet and oh so...
