The incredible Leslie O’Hashi, owner of Bodyline Dance Theatre. Leslie is one of the first people I met upon moving to Wyoming almost a year ago to work as an anchor/reporter for CBS NewsChannel 5. I heard about Leslie when she lost her grant for a dance program that miraculously helped kids with disabilities. Right then, I decided that one …
For as long as I can remember, I have been home in Seattle for the holidays enjoying our trademark Cahoon traditions. These include joining the happy throngs celebrating nightly at Snowflake Lane. enjoying Christmas dinner at the stunning, historic Fairmont Olympic, riding the downtown carousal, sipping hot chocolate while wandering in and out of the vendors at Pike Place …
This holiday has always been one of my absolute favorites…from baking ghost cookies for the neighborhood, to dressing up, and attending parties. I’ve loved it all since I was a little kid. So, I decided to chat with little kids in my community about what they enjoy most about this holiday. If you look closely at this CBS feature, you …
For years, I have been a fan of both Dancing with the Stars and Boys & Girls Clubs. So, when I was asked to help raise funds for our local club by competing in DWTS of Cheyenne, the answer was an instant, “Yes!” While working as an anchor/reporter for CBS NewsChannel 5, I have had the privilege of meeting the …
Thanks to all of you and your amazing support, I was the #1 ranked show host for the US and Canadian launch of VS1, a live lifestyle show. I had so much fun interacting with viewers, chatting about everything from makeup and travel to dating and dance, and being immersed in the live experience. Here is a picture from one …
Fall is one of my favorite times of year, and one of the reasons is Halloween. To me, this holiday represents a time to celebrate the miracle of nature while marveling at the dramatic change of seasons. It’s a time to pause and recapture our childlike wonder, to use our imaginations and dress-up like we did regularly when we were …
Today is Part II of my Toronto Film Premiere Roundup. In my last post, I covered a flick that I love so much I feel like I’ve morphed into a walking ad for it. That is Carrie Pilby, which screened at TIFF. Today, I’m going independent with a feature that I saw at Toronto Indie the day before. This film …
As promised, I’m letting you all in on a few of the films that I saw while attending the Toronto film festivals. I meant to write this roundup last week on my flight to NYC, but I was so excited about planning my adventures there that I didn’t get a chance to do it until now—on the plane coming home. …
Last weekend, my short film, In Memory Of, premiered at the Carlton Cinema in Downtown Toronto. It completely sold out! The manager set up all the metal chairs he had in the back, and that wasn’t enough. So many more people clamored for tickets that he let some of them watch while standing, squeezed into corners, and even sitting on …
We still have plenty of warm, sunny days left. So if you haven’t fully embraced summer, it’s not too late! Here are three must-do’s before you say goodbye to the rays and greet the fall leaves. 1. Peruse an arts-and-crafts fair. Admire the masterpieces, and find unique, handmade gifts, jewelry, and clothing. 2. Go on a road trip with friends. …
For those of you who join me on Snapchat (katherinechloe), you know that I’ve been house-sitting in a dreamy Seattle neighbourhood. Seriously, I could never leave the basement here and still feel like a princess. And best of all, it’s close to the Washington Park Arboretum, which is perfect for exploring, jogging, and canoeing amid the water lilies. Here is …
Even though this movie is made for kids, its appeal is universal. Personally, I was laughing harder than some of the tots in the theater…along with Dory-loving big kids and adults. Besides its wit and adorable factor, what I love most about Finding Dory is…well, Dory. She obviously has more challenges than any other sea animal in the show, and …
There’s sunshine in the heart of me, My blood sings in the breeze; The mountains are a part of me, I’m fellow to the trees. ~Robert W. Service (1874–1958), “A Rolling Stone,” 1912 Halter top by Guess from Macy’s.
There is magic in creating something wonderful from nothing. A book comes from a blank piece of paper. A sculpture comes from a lump of clay. And a garden comes from a patch of dirt. When, as a child, I had to let go of my trampoline due to a crippling back condition, I decided to turn the space where …
Online dating can be fun and one hundred percent safe, or it can put the un-savvy in an unsafe situation. When you’re about to meet in the flesh that stranger who has been typing you messages while hiding behind the computer screen, safety precautions must be put into play. The gorgeous girl next to me in this picture is so …
