fashion IN FILM SERIES

Since 2012 I have curated and hosted the quarterly Fashion in Film series for the historic Hollywood Theater. Each screening includes pre-show programming I produce where I delve into the styling of a film to relay to the audience the importance of costuming to character development. This has included special interviews for a packed theater with several iconic costume designers.

BAD DATES TALK SHOW

What’s the universal experience tying all humans together? The answer of course is, we’ve all been burned, or maybe even burned someone else, in the romance department. And we love to talk about it. Bad Dates is a bi-annual live talk show, where Ashod Simonian and I interview well-known Portlanders about their cringiest (and most entertaining) dating experiences gone awry.

event emcee

Every party has a good host, just like every event has a fun emcee that keeps things rolling, remembers to give the thank you shout-outs, introduces the next guest, and keeps the vibe. I have emceed Pride festivals, introduced musical acts from Salt-N-Pepa's Spinderella to Nirvana's Krist Novoselic, fashion shows galore, non-profit galas, and more.
