You may have read about Dallas mom Julie Hersh in our May 2010 feature, Ghost in a Body, by Shelley Hawes Pate (if not, it’s an excellent read…click here to read it). Shelley profiles a mom who tried to commit suicide…three times. In her own garage, no less. It turns out that Julie, like 21 million others, suffers from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). What saved her is the topic of Dr. Oz’s show slated for this Wednesday, January 25 at 4pm on ABC. We won’t give away too much, but we will tell you it’s a highly controversial (and seemingly dated) treatment that has people up in arms.
Click here to see the preview of the show and look for Julie as one of his guests!

Deep in the heart of the social season, we wouldn’t be surprised if you’re turning down invitations right and left for a night on the town. Even if you have a date with your couch (after the little ones are put to bed) this Friday, we would cordially like to invite you to a (tame, but more exciting than the couch thing…) party that’s cool and casual. This Friday, Little Bean + DallasChild are hosting a book signing with Daily Candy L.A.’s editor for her book, Prudent Advice at Little Bean in Dallas. The first 100 people to buy two or more books will get a swag bag that even we’re jealous of. And if that’s not incentive enough, a Lou Lou Ghost Chair is yours for the taking (if you win the raffle!). If you haven’t experienced one of our collaborative fêtes, now’s the time to be our guest.
See you there!

….Bollywood style. That’s right…bollywood. Little Bean and Simple Lovely (the blog from one of our favorite bloggers and writers, Joslyn Taylor) are opening up a pop-up shop for Rikshaw Designs this Friday, September 3 from 6-8pm. Meet the designer, Catherine Fitzsimmons, browse the bollywood-styled shop and listen to some tunes (not all bollywood) by DJ Lacy (who happens to be yours truly). A good night of music, sweets and (of course) adult drinks for the adults (obviously). Not to mention ooh-ing and ahh-ing over Catherine’s designs. Bring your kids too…it’ll be a party for the books!
Little Bean, Dallas (google maps)
Cheers!

Pop-up shops are the latest and greatest retail (dare we say recession) trend, and while Dallas has experienced a few, the first donut pop-up (to our knowledge) shop has made its appearance. Hypnotic donuts (find them on facebook here), only open on Saturdays and Sundays in a pizza shop at Preston and Campbell, started cooking up tasty donut creations (plain donut with maple frosting and bacon anyone?) yesterday. Now, while officially, we endorse healthy eating and, needless to say, donuts aren’t really in that category, but everything in moderation, right? After the two that we got our hands on (the very last two yesterday – Ying & Yang and Turtle chocolate donuts), it’s quite a sweet treat for the occasional Saturday morning.
Check their facebook page and website to view hours and to see the storefront image you’ll be looking for on the quest for your most creative donut creation you may ever taste.
Hypnotic Donuts, 17390 Preston Rd. Suite 263 (inside The Pizza Guy), Dallas TX 75252.
Cheers!

Dallas…once known for the glitz and gaud of the 80s, a fictional famous family, the Ewings (I can’t tell you how many times I heard the line, “Who shot JR?” in London after meeting a Brit and exchanging the usual bar banter), and the Dallas Cowboys, now is undergoing a transformation.
W Magazine decided to let the world in on a little secret that even some Dallasites aren’t privy to…Dallas is a bona-fide cultural epicenter of the South. If you haven’t seen our June 2010 issue of all three magazines (DallasChild, FortWorthChild and NorthTexasChild), we clued you into that secret by shooting the covers at the Winspear Opera House’s pond overlooking the Wyly Theater – both new architectual icons of Big D. Not only is it a huge cultural plus for adults, but also for kids and families. With everything from Beauty and the Beast at the Winspear, Late Nights at the DMA or spending a Saturday afternoon at the Nasher with your kids…there is no shortage of inspiring art to see, hear and experience.
See the slideshow here or go pick up the July 2010 issue of W Magazine.
