Trish McEvoyBeauty maven Trish McEvoy revolutionized makeup application in the 1970s with the advent of makeup brushes shaped to simplify and enhance makeup application. With her husband, renowned dermatologist Dr. Ronald Sherman, she opened the doors of the Dr. Ronald Sherman/Trish McEvoy Skin Care Center in New York in 1978 and pioneered the marriage of beauty and science that is now an industry standard. For more than three decades Trish has been committed to the creation of the highest quality products while putting professional makeup application skills in every woman’s hands through her unique teaching program. The invention of her iconic Makeup Planner in the early 1990s established Trish’s place as the author of makeup organization and functionality. Through countless public appearances Trish and her team have a grassroots, one-woman-at-a-time approach to teaching makeup applications that work and stripping away the inessential clutter from our makeup bags, beauty routines and lives. Providing life-enhancing solutions and portability to women remains Trish’s raison d’etre. Her guiding philosophy is that women should be able to maintain a standard of beauty to live their best lives each day and not be obligated to sacrifice their beauty because of the constraints of time, space and the natural changes that occur with age. |

Cheryl EngelhardtA few short years ago, Cheryl B. Engelhardt, armed with her biology degree from Cornell University, got a government job that found her SCUBA diving with research teams. But the minute she had an opportunity to compose music, the lifelong pianist—who was playing Beethoven at age three and began composing her own material at five—took off the gear and jumped into competitive waters of the music industry. She took the ultimate plunge as a full-time DIY indie singer-songwriter, a creative leap of faith that has made her one of NYC’s fastest rising stars of 2008. Just as the title of her acclaimed new CD implies, for Engelhardt, life is about risktaking, living and making music in the present, and most of all, Craving The Second. |

MommessinIn 1865, Jean-Marie Mommessin founded the wine making firm that bears his name in Burgundy, an area known as a cradle of viticulture just north of Lyon. In 1889, Mommessin acquired La Grange Saint-Pierre, ancient stone buildings in Mâcon that originally belonged to the Abbey of Cluny. Its key, the Key of St. Peter, became the famous house emblem and remains so still. Today, the 5th generation of the Mommessin family produces and bottles wines with an abiding respect for each wine's unique character--ever careful to produce results that are "true to their type," and therefore perfect examples of their appellation. |
