Festa Della Donna in Lodi CA

I just got back from the Festa Della Donna and oh was it amazing, beautiful and full of wonderful people! PDC The Boutique was one of the many wonderful vendors that participated today. You can view photos in the Lodi News Sentinal at www.lodinews.com search "Festa Della Donna" (A pic of my Husband and I were in the artical...Yay!) Below is the written article, what a wonderful cause!

The Vaccarezza Murdaca Family Foundation hosted the Festa della Donna fundraiser on May 13 at the Viaggio Estate Winery.More than 200 people attended the event, which was held to raise funds for Lodi House and the Salvation Army's Hope Harbor Shelter. Chefs from Stockton, who have cooked in Italy, worked with the Hope Harbor Shelter's culinary graduates to prepare the food. A silent auction was held and 30 raffle prizes were given. Those who attended also had the opportunity to view 36 tables that were each uniquely decorated by 36 individuals.Nancy Shock, one of the event coordinators, said the event raised over $70,000."In this time of recession, it was a grassroots effort that we were able to come up with that kind of profit," she said.

A special thanks to Kathleen and Ryan for making it so pleasant and fun! -Lisa

Lisa (Starkey)Laber in W Magazine!!!!

Ok so! It all started with the Angelina Jolie Cover above, in which W allowed Brad Pitt to photograph Angelina with kids and give us a private look into their lives though his eyes. It was beautiful. However, not everyone felt the same way (understandable, can't please everyone) but it was the backlash of a "Readers React" writer who claimed that showing a photo of Angelina breast feeding was pretty much offensive to her and other women so she threw the magazine in the trash. I felt provoked but it wasn't until every issue after that was pretty much the same way of thinking and that is not the type of "movement" that I care to see us "going down", if you will. It became this strange Celebrity vs. Models vs. Subscriber "beef" which was leading everyone off the point.

So long story short, I wrote into Readers React (I've never done this and often thought "who has the time") but it goes to show that your voice needs to be heard regardless of it's in a fashion publication or not. I wanted readers to see that currently in the real world many Americans are suffering from our economic downfall so who really gives a S*%@ about cover choices. Efforts should rather be put towards community recovery or even world recovery! Aside from that, it's just kinda cool! Lol! :) Here is what I wrote:

Cover Drama

Regardless of whether a celebrity or a model is on the cover of W, the magazine has never failed to promote high fashion and art. Readers who throw a tantrum over cover choices baffle me-yet such discussions have themselves become an art form in the pages of Readers React. Fellow readers, open your eyes and realize that there are worse things going on in life than having a celebrity on a magazine's cover!
