Must-read: My mama pal Patricia’s brills new essay
UPDATE: I’m hounding Latina mag for the web link to this essay. As soon as I get it, I’ll insert it. In the meantime, I just blew it up, jumbo-size, below. And you can always hit your local newsstand to buy a copy of the August issue!
You guys have “met” my friend Patricia Reynoso before – in multiple blog posts about our shared Disney obsession, and our mutual admiration of Dr. Brandt (she co-wrote his first book with him). Plus she’s all over my Momover book; seriously, her voice is peppered throughout the whole frigging thing.
Oh, and she’s the Director of Public Relations for Lancôme, and bestower of uh-mazing goodie bags over chatty, gossipy lunches.
But most importantly (I’m sorry, I know proper English dictates “But most important…” but it just sounds wack), Patricia is a fantastic writer. Always has been. Even when she was my itty bitty beauty assistant at W a lifetime ago. Awwww…
Don’t believe me? Well just you read this here essay she penned for the August issue of Latina magazine. It’s all about shedding her hyper-protective Hispanic mommy tendencies, and going with the flow.
Love.
Dana, this means the world to me! Working with you at W is still one of the highlights of my career. I also wrote with you in mind…”hmmm…how would Dana word this?” You’re brilliant and one of the masters. Thank you!
