A Fish Out of Water: The Story of Skidboot | January 20, 2011

A Fish Out of Water: The Story of Skidboot

By Michael T. Smith

December 24, 1992, David Harwig, a Texas cowboy, sat in his living room.

His life was hard. David shoed and trained horses and worked his ranch. When time allowed, he entered calf-roping competitions with some success. It was a rough life. Although still a young man, David already had two hip replacements.

The hard work was the last thing on David’s mind on that Christmas Eve. He sat in his chair and fretted. Christmas was hours away and he didn’t have a Christmas gift for his wife Barbara.

The phone rang. “Hello?”

“David?”

“Yes?”

“It’s … Read More »

Are Talk Shows a Dying Breed? Do We Care? | February 26, 2010

Are Talk Shows a Dying Breed? Do We Care?

First Oprah announced the implausible. The impossible. She’s going off the air. I always knew I would see it happen someday, but I never expected it would happen so soon.

So then, I naturally thought “who’s going to take OVER for talk shows?” I love The View, but clearly not quite the same with the ensemble of women (and let’s be honest, as brilliant of a career as Barbara Walters has had, she’s pretty much the weakest link on that show in terms of entertainment value. She’s a little DRY to watch.)

There’s the Ellen DeGeneres Show, but as knee-slappingly, can’t-breathe-because-I’m-laughing-so-hard funny … Read More »

Behind Oprah’s Dress: Inside the Teri Jon Showroom | December 8, 2009

Behind Oprah’s Dress: Inside the Teri Jon Showroom

Chic Galleria was recently invited into the Teri Jon showroom to get up close and personal with the latest designs, including a differently colored version of the emerald silk taffeta shawl collar dress that Oprah wears on the cover of the December issue of O magazine.

For the last quarter-century, designer and CEO Rickie Freeman has ensured that Rickie Freeman for Teri Jon (the day and evening wear collections) and Jon (the sportswear collection) has designs for women of all ages.

The “Oprah dress” is a prime example; TeriJon.com sums it up thusly: “Firstly, it is ageless, with a not-trendy, not-matronly shape that … Read More »

Enter To Win Your Own O Bracelet | October 27, 2009

Enter To Win Your Own O Bracelet

After the success of the first O Bracelet project in early 2007, Fair Winds Trading wanted to continue working with the inspiring women who had learned so quickly to make beautiful crocheted bead bracelets. The impact from the first project had been nothing short of significant, and FWT wanted to be sure the African women could keep working and earning money to help themselves and their families.

Fair Winds Trading wanted to go the next step—to make bracelets with gemstones from Africa, not just the best beads in the world—and were fortunate to once again partner with O, The Oprah Magazine … Read More »

Celebs & Oprah Flip Over ProMom Couture | May 14, 2009

“When we see a celebrity donning our line, we always shake our heads in amazement!” says Vicki. “When Cindy Crawford appeared on Oprah a few years back showing a stack of our tees as some of her faves, that was pretty amazing.
