Writing and More

I finally got the chance to post links to some of my articles on my site at http://simonadavid.com/Articles.html; please visit.

Also, as of March 5 I’m Vice President of the Board of Directors at WIM. Please, visit our site at http://www.writersinthemountains.org/ - a lot of good news this year, as we celebrate our 20^th anniversary. Actually, the website itself is in the process of being updated. So, please do keep an eye on us. We have many exciting projects coming up this year.

Cordially,

Saturday Gumbo

This is a show I really like, "Saturday Gumbo" with Susan Shaw every Saturday at 9 pm - it's all about great music, and all about New Orleans:

Understanding Fashion

Since it’s Fashion Week, I found an interesting interview with Ashley Mears, sociologist and model:
