Let me start this by apologizing for my hair. My bangs, particularly. Before I got to the event, I was all primped and polished--cool, teased bangs held high by non-aerosol hairspray--feeling all chic even before lunchtime at a Hollywood event. Yet gravity had its way with my un-colored locks, and there was no time to re-do the 'do throughout the busy day. I'll show you more interviews from this event as we go along.
At this time I still lived in West New York, so we had to fly to LA. This interview was shot in Beverly Hills, while we covered a celebrity family event before the Golden Globes.
Angie Harmon is an American model and actress. You may remember her most from Baywatch Nights and Law & Order (like I do). She currently stars in Rizzoli & Isles as Detective Jane Rizzoli. This Dallas-native is married to NY Giants football player, Jason Sehorn, She is tall, slender, and gorgeous even with little makeup and a casual turtleneck. She is carrying her beautiful daughter, Avery, while we were chatting.

Anyway, two days after the event, we flew back East. I remember it was an early morning flight. I had underestimated the cold weather in California and checked my coat inside my luggage, so I had to wear my husband's really worn-out, on-hand, navy windbreaker to the airport. On him it looked good, but it was ill-fitting on me, and we were very harassed because we almost didn't make the flight. We may have been the last to board, and my husband and I were with the kids, plus our friend-slash-co-worker, while carrying all our bags and equipment--so you can imagine how I looked like. Let's just say I was a beauty queen in this video compared to that morning.
So while we were boarding, all 5 of us naturally had to pass first class to get to our seats in coach, and behold, Angie Harmon shouts to me and says, "Hey! You're from BC, right?" And I go, "Yes!" and she seemed excited for some small talk about how we were on the same plane and all that. Very kind of her to remember me, even sans make-up and clothed in aforementioned windbreaker (come to think of it, how did she recognize me? Haha). Anyway, I never feel bad about flying coach except for this one time. I guess the combo of the windbreaker, morning hair, no make-up, etc., felt to me like I was doing a walk of shame towards the bulkhead seats we made sure to request for in advance. Now, even the "bulkhead" seats--the ones with just a wall in front of you--plus the extra leg room it comes with, does not make me feel better.

So anyway, after that incident I NEVER travel without looking like a sane person, and I always wear my own, curated-for-the-weather-and-occasion clothes. There is always a lesson learned in every incident, especially one that involves windbreakers. Plus, let me be caution that non-aerosol, although more environment-friendly, does not ensure maximum hold.
P.S. Speaking of clothes, in case you were interested--my daughter, Maxine (5 months old in this video), was wearing a Jean Bourget jacket (matching with my off-white Mango coat) and a lavender babyGAP skirt (matching with my Isabella Oliver--or was it Japanese Weekend?--plum turtleneck).
