Once again, I have proved myself technolgically challenged. I have a ton of articles and am at present trying to
figure out a way to upload them. I just found this excellent page on EDGE which lists all the pieces I've written for them
and their links! Until I can figure out how to upload the articles themselves here, please be patient, and use the link.
Shortcuts are short pieces - usually 3-4, that rotate on the first page of the style section and are up
for a month. Here are examples of four shortcuts that I've written.
They can be read in every city hub; New York, Boston, Providence, Ptown and New England.
Below is a piece that I wrote about a Fashion Week highlight.
Nicole Miller and York Peppermint Patties Create Lmtd Ed. Bags by PJ Gach EDGE Style Contributor Thursday Feb 2,
2006
York Peppermint Patties are a wondrous thing; just the right ratio of chocolate
and mint, melting and tingling in your mouth. Nicole Miller designs fun, quirky and chic clothing and accessories with the
right touch of whimsy. What happens when you combine the two? Do you get a designer dripping in chocolate and mint? Or a mint
you can wear?
You’re close; York Peppermint Patties and Nicole Miller have teamed up to create a series of limited
edition bags- the York Sensational Collection by Nicole Miller. And oh boy! Some of these babies are studded with Swarovski
crystals, and yummily enough all are inspired by that famous pattie. The bags have been created to benefit the Young Survival
Coalition (YSC).
The YSC is the only worldwide non-profit organization devoted to the cares and concerns of young breast
cancer survivors and their supporters. Their website is filled to the brim with information on everything from the latest
drug trials to volunteer programs.
The York Sensational Collection by Nicole Miller- which features everything from
totes to crystal studded minauderies- will be available this spring at Nicole Miller boutiques nationwide. If you can’t
wait until then, you’ll be happy to know that York will be auctioning a one-of-a-kind Nicole Miller purse during Olympus
Fashion Week via a live eBay auction (www.ebay.com). The auction will be held during Fashion Week, February 3-10. This one of a kind purse is valued at $2,000, and all proceeds
from the sale of the purse will benefit YSC.
Get ready to spend hours on eBay.com, hitting the refresh button. To
