This year will mark my sixth straight year attending Wonder Con; but this time around – unlike those past years – the annual pop culture event will be held in downtown Los Angeles instead of Anaheim. [It should be noted that the convention originated in San Francisco before being moved to Anaheim.] Regardless of the location, I will heading to …

In March we celebrate influential women in history, recognizing their contributions to the world. The more we see these women, the more their accomplishments become known and inspire. A cameo on a primetime television show is a great way to expose viewers to the possibilities of real life success. Here are three Very Important Women (VIW) who guest starred in …

You may have noticed by now, I’m kind of a numbers junkie. I like numbers, they help me make sense of things.

In honor of women’s history month, I wanted to brush up on my knowledge of TV mavens that pioneered the industry. I pointed my sights to the legends Lucille Ball and Irna Philips, and here is what I discovered. Lucille Ball – I Love Lucy This was the first successful series with a female lead. It first aired on CBS …

For the last year or two, I have been volunteering at my local library here in Los Angeles (a terrific “small town” library similar to the one back home), helping out – for the most part – with their quarterly book sales. For me this volunteering was an homage (if you will) to my time “working” as a library aide …

NBC’s Blindspot has been one of the breakout hits for the network and it’s no secret that we Nice Girls are nuts about it too. With its return on February 29th, we’ve been talking about why we love the show’s main character, Jane Doe. Or is it Taylor Shaw? Here are five reasons why we love Jane Doe: First of …
