My sister was featured on CBS Chicago in partnership with the Red Cross this morning for her life saving actions on a fellow runner who had collapsed on a trail earlier this year. They are now lifelong friends who run together, thanks to the power of a steady head and CPR. Cheers to another fabulous industry event season! Shoutout to @jen_nifer.w for being my partner in all the madness 🍸 Our party tricks are only getting better with time 🕺🏼 Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 1: Moi! All looks served up in the last 24 hours, because we’re celebrating iconic style this weekend! Also, a word on “iconic.” There is no one universal icon, but just a slew of individuals who tapped into the needs and passions of the communities they wanted to connect with and influence. Everyone has the capacity to be an icon, just recognize the people you value - and invest your time, energy, and authenticity there. Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 2: Madonna. The queen of pop, the mother of reinvention, whose career has never been more relevant to me than on the edge of 40 - as I determine what it means to live authentically and unapologetically. I love you, Madge! Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 3: Lady Gaga, one of my all-time favorite pop culture icons. As she stated so perfectly in her song, “Applause”: “One second I'm a Koons fan, suddenly the Koons is me. Pop culture was in art, now art's in pop culture, in me.” 💯 Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 4: Beyonce, queen of the power (body)suit, regular wearer of capes, and who sports statement hats that look like they were made by a milliner from outer space. Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 5: Marlene Dietrich, for whom John Wayne dodged the draft in order to pursue (according to biographer Marc Eliot). “He had fallen madly in love with the actress whose insatiable desire for American men spiked if she could also break up their marriages or humiliate them in some way.” She had a very sexy gender-bending allure that I just adore. Countdown to 40 🪩 DAY 6: Rihanna, who is stunning whether she’s pregnant or on the red carpet (or both!)
