Essence Magazine: You Need It!

December 9, 2007 by WendyB

Everyone, run out and buy the January issue of Essence. I have several jewelry credits in the “Ageless Beauties Special.” Those are some sex-ay ladies! When I saw them, I thought, “Hell, yeah! I’m going to wear minidresses when I’m 52 too!” My Xenobia ring made it in, but it is very hard to see. Only I would recognize it! The piece you can see most clearly is a one-of-a-kind yellow diamond ring that I just sold. Who cares! They spelled my name right. Also, the Essence editor was professional and pleasant, and returned the inventory promptly. A nice change from the usual experience.

    You go girl. I will buy the magazine. It would be better if you would send me the jewelry to review in person. It works better that way you know.
