Diane Keaton could do anything! From dramatic roles like Kay Corleone in “The Godfather” trilogy, to her hilariously offbeat portrayal of Annie Hall, which won her an Oscar, her talent seemed limitless. I also remember her lovely cold call to my mom after the release of her documentary, “A Piece of Work,” just to share her admiration. She will be greatly missed.
I found the must bag for fall in the must have color of the season. This one is an investment, but I have had bags that I’ve invested in that literally lasted for decades.
I love a deep purple, burgundy color just to add a pop of color. You could even try a simple accent of purple in a pair of gloves, a scarf or a piece of jewelry.
Link to the bag in my stories. What’s a piece you have that you invested in that lasted years?
From security guard to hosting a hit show for 19 years, Steve Wilkos has seen it all.

@kathygriffin and I have so much history together, that it was a no brainer when she asked me to join her for her YouTube show just like when I asked her to attend the @juliens_auctions preview. It’s always a great time when I get to chat with Kathy! Btw, she’s going to join me on my podcast. Stay tuned for those details!
Also fun fact: my mother gave Kathy the heels she’s wearing.
My mother and Cher were dear friends. She had Cher on the premiere episode of her talk show in 1986 along with Elton John and Paul Reubens aka Pee-Wee Herman.
I was going through a storage unit and came across several joke cards that were not part of the 70,000 currently preserved at the @ntlcomedycenter in Jamestown, NY. What a treat it was to find them. And now I can share them with you.
Comedy and laughter are critical, now maybe more than ever.
