Where in the world is “SheDiddy”?

CLUE: This city is “home” to the house in the opening credits of “Designing Women”, the other “Oval Office”, and the fondly remembered feline. Today’s TVH Channel 11’s “Jonathan the Garden Cat Intern”.

ANSWER: Little Rock, AK

POSITIVELY ARKANSAS!
I had never been to Little Rock, Arkansas and I am not sure what I expected, but I must say it is BEAUTIFUL. I landed in the airport at 6pm and it was a fabulous 70 degrees. I took a cab to my hotel and we drove through the River Market District where the restaurants had perfect outdoor eating areas. The city seems to be a great blend of old and new, and I love the electric street cars that transport folks from place to place.

I noticed the southern hospitality immediately as a gentleman stopped to hold a door open for me. I consider that chivalry - it was an AUTOMATIC door! He stood in it so I could pass easily. Checking in at the hotel held an extra treat as I was given a warm chocolate chip cookie with my room key. Yes, life is good. I then found that my hotel room overlooked the river. AWESOME Arkansas.

The above photo is the view from my hotel room: Arkansas River and Alltel Arena where music events, arena football games and NBA Exhibition events are held. These earrings are PERFECT for every outfit and you can wear them to sporting events as well as for an evening on the town.

I am fighting a head cold (‘tis the season) so I decided to order room service and sleep to prepare for my morning appearance on “Positively Arkansas”. I had Orange Roughy with rice. Here is a photo of my “office” on the road:


I looked at the Positively Arkansas show’s website on my laptop computer and read about their host, Sheryl Lackey.
This is Sheryl with Tim Gunn of Project Runway.

The hotel staff was wonderful as I checked out to go to Today’s THV Channel 11. I realized, just as I was leaving the hotel, that I had forgotten my purse in the room. Yes, it was one of “those” mornings. It is a good thing my head is attached to my body or I may have left it behind as well! Hospitality workers had already taken the purse to security by the time I got to the twelfth floor to retrieve it. I walked in to the security office and shared a laugh with the very pleasant officer. With my Gucci in hand, and all contents in tact, I uttered, “Thank Goodness for Southern Hospitality” and off I went. Okay, so it is a Gucci "designer look".....but I still love it.

Take a look at this "Designer Look" necklace. Buy it in Bella Luce from www.jtvstyle.com

The TV station continued to offer the same wonderful, friendly feeling. I had coffee in the break room and spoke with several people at the station. I met the webmaster, Butch Renfroe, and he helped us set up this link so you can watch my segment with Sheryl on “Positively Arkansas” while it is posted on their website:

Sheryl mentioned that she is not really "in to" big jewelry. I smiled as she noticed the NINETEEN and ONE HALF carat treated mystic topaz ring. She immediately wore it and fell in love with it. She also loved the large turquoise necklace.

Uh huh, I see it all the time –I think Sheryl is now "IN TO" big jewelry. The same thing happened to me after I took a job hosting for Jewelry Television. When we put on a big, bold, piece of jewelry, we SMILE! Both items worked beautifully with the multicolor fall top Sheryl was wearing. I am always glad when women take a chance and wear something new and different. Step out of what you think is you and become the “you”, you wish to be. Go to http://www.jtvstyle.com/

We discussed the idea of mixing metals, stacking bracelets, and loving your personal style.

If you live in Arkansas, please tune in to watch Cheryl Lackey on “Positively Arkansas”. She is wonderful! So is the entire crew on the show. The garden behind the studio is fabulous and we gathered there after the show to talk. In fact, we talked so long in the studio garden that we forgot to take a photo together.

I learned about Larry the Garden Cat who was loved by staff and viewers alike. He has a heartwarming story and exemplifies the compassion of the Little Rock Community. This entry is posted in honor of Larry the Garden Cat who passed away recently. To get more information about Larry, please visit the station’s website. His intern, Jonathan the Garden Cat, now precides over the garden and the station.
