Wendy Williams

How you doin?

So, I was on the Wendy Williams Show today as part of her 'Ask Wendy' segment. Let me say she is one TALL drink of water! But I digress. My question to her was this: As an interior designer I am often asked by my friends to help them with their apartments, a little advice here, a bit there. Which is fine. Recently a close friend has assumed that I will manage the entire redecoration of his apartment for free. Should I 'man up' and do it for a friend? or ask for compensation and risk alienating him? I just have my mothers voice in the back of my head saying "Don't mix friends and business"
How do you feel about that?

The Buggles.



So why the obscure 80's one-hit-wonder reference? As many of you may know, The Buggles, Video Killed the Radio Star, was the very 1st video to ever be played on MTV. I thought it was only fitting that I would use them as my 1st post on my blog. Much like video revolutionized the music industry, many feel that online sites, such as this blog, are revolutionizing print media.

Even though I belive the 'times they are a changing', I do not think print media is going to become extinct any time soon. Do they need to change with the times, absolutlely! Think outside the box and rethink their approach? Double absolutely! I feel people will always enjoy the tactile satisfaction of pouring over a magazine, but no longer limit their information source to this medium alone. Besides what would I read at the beach?


What do you think?
