When entertainment writer Chris Trash asked me to contribute to a charity cookbook, I was excited to help. If you’re like me and love eating so much that it might as well be a hobby, by ordering this book you can both get your food fix and help those in need. Chris said, “the idea is to get a group of …
I love everything about the holidays…the decorations, caroling, and time spent with family and friends. A favorite holiday memory is dancing in Pacific Northwest Ballet’s Nutcracker. Each year while growing up, I had about forty performances filled with festive cheer and unexpected adventure. One that stands out was when it snowed so hard in Seattle that driving felt like going …
As I think about what I’m thankful for, all of you are high on my list. This past year I’ve received many wonderful emails, messages and comments from around the world. I especially appreciate all of your support at book signings. One that stands out was a university event in California. While I was traveling there, someone accidentally dropped a …
The inspiration for the But I Do storyline came from my several experiences at hosting university events as an author and Love and Romance expert for publications like Seventeen and Cosmopolitan and talk shows like those on RT TV. At each event, girls confided that they wanted to attract guys, but felt like they had to look and act a …
Tomorrow I’m posting my music video!!! Thanks so much for all of your encouraging comments and messages. They mean a lot to me.
…when I can’t sing, did a kissing scene on a piano with a stranger, and got help from Ben and Jerry.
I realize that I wrote a book filled with girls’ success stories about meeting appealing men, but sometimes what a girl really needs is a girls’ night out!
The U.S. Olympic women’s gymnastics team! According to The Wall Street Journal, during their first-place competition, our girls shared 55 individual hugs with teammates and coaches and five group hugs—more than any other team. They also freely hugged competitors who were feeling crestfallen after their performances, and those who had done well. Most of us can’t even walk on a …
We only have one scene left to film for my music video. It’s romantic, with just Rob and me. Only problem…Rob has to go out of town. His brother, who looks incredibly like him, is willing to stand in, but we’ll wait for the real McCoy to return:) I’ve been so grateful to have fantastic cast and crew members who …
Now I can say I have, thanks to my music video! I greatly appreciate all of you who donated your time to be extras and dance in it. Everyone looked fantastic! And huge thanks to Mr. Sun for letting us use his ballroom at China Harbor to film this scene.
It seems like something funny always happens when we’re filming. We came straight from other obligations to this venue. Katie works in finance. She didn’t think it would be appropriate to wear her performance makeup to the office that day, so on the way to the filming, she pulled over on a side street to do her makeup in the …
Holly asked what it’s like working with my music video co-stars. If I had searched the world, I couldn’t have found better ones. We have a ton of fun together. After our last rehearsal, Denise said, “That was productive. We spent half the time chatting and half the time practicing!” Denise brought her camera to our music video practice so …
Filming for my music video is officially underway. Here are pictures from the beginning scenes. My girlfriends and I portray insecure nerds landing in Europe. At this point in the storyline, my leading man doesn’t even know I exist─but never fear, revenge is on the way! We find a copy of The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men. It …
I’ve been inundated with music video mania! The project officially got rolling when I paired up with the fabulous composer, Todd Schwartzman, who opens for the likes of Brad Paisley and David Archuleta. We instantly clicked. I remember my first conversation with him. It went something like this, “I’m Katherine. I’ve heard such wonderful comments about your work and would love …
When people see me hobbling about lately and ask what happened, I explain that dance practice for my upcoming music video has been kicking my butt. Then the stream of questions begins: Are you a professional dancer? No. A singer? No. An actor? Well, I was a fish in my elementary school’s version of The Little Mermaid, if that counts:) …
