Anna Timone And Donald Simrock Talk Clinton Foundation And Nails For Men
Lawyer Anna Timon. Anna is the chief compliance officer and general counsel for Diam USA as well, the developing founder of MoneyYouandLife.com. Today we got Anna’s insight into her recent run in with former President Bill Clinton and his daughter Chelsea at a conversation moderated by actor and philanthropist Edward Norton. Also a reporter for Digital Journal, she’s here to tell us all about the latest in the Clinton Foundation and the new Millennial Philanthropists.
We also spoke with Donald Simrock, rockstar makeup artist. Donald recently launched a collection of nails for Minx called Sextet. The nails are earthy, tough, beautiful and designed with men in mind. You can view them at Minxtastingroom.com
Listen to Donald discuss his collection and the evolution of nails throughout history. Fun fact I learned today: acrylic nails were created by a dentist.

Birthday Wishes For One Of Fashion’s Best Talents

It is always a big deal when Trudi calls your agent to bring you in for polaroids. Things are probably going very well for you in terms of a modeling career when that phone call comes. This is the woman who advised Anna Wintour as the new faces editor at Vogue, which means Trudi knows better than your mom if you’ll make it in the business or not. And, if you do have a chance, she’s the person that understands exactly what it will take to shape you into the next Giselle or Karolina Kurkova, who she managed during her time at DNA model management.
Trudi was one of the people in fashion that believed in my talent. She first introduced me to Anna and later represented me at DNA. What a relief if was to walk into my new agency and see Trudi sitting there. I knew I’d be in good hands with her on my side. I’m forever grateful for the guidance and support Trudi has given me over the years.
If you’re wondering if you’ve got what it takes or you want to hear more from Trudi herself, you’ve got a few options to connect with her.

What Do You Mean Models Aren’t Happy???
This post was recently brought to my attention by a friend. The quote could use some clarification and context. This July, through a series of events, I found myself on the phone speaking with a journalist about my experiences with modeling, weight gains and losses and becoming a mother for an article she was writing for a well known fashion publication. At one point during the conversation, she asked me if I had ever been happy with my weight. I responded with Continue reading
