Good afternoon my darling family and friends. Happy Halloween 2022. This Monday, October 31, I feel overwhelmed with joy for the much-needed victory of the Saints vs the Raiders 24-0.
I also feel blessed and honored to have reigned as the 2022 Queen of Halloween for the French Quarter Citizens at the NO Jazz Museum & have enjoyed all the Halloween Festivities on Friday, October 28.
“Today is the day when you should be yourself. Wishing you an incredible Happy Halloween. Let your crazy side show.
As always, it was so much fun the Inside New Orléans October-November issue Party at Dr. Lauren Agnew’s Eye Wares NOLA and Dr. Claire Melacon's Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery at 6001 Magazine Street. The Halloween costumes were beautiful as well as the food and the setting!

OMG ! I have been looking for this obituary since I learned that she has joined the Lord. I have missed her tremendously since she was my mentor and I adore her. We co-shared the New Orléans premiere of the film "The Big Easy" when it premiered in New Orléans to benefit Doctors without Borders. May her soul RIP.
