I have been busier than before the event and I did not think that
humanly possible.  My email's runneth over!  We have also
acquired a new partnership with Carolina & Me, a new
marketing company.  More about that later.

I truly embrace Asha Spacek for her warm friendly words,  
and her staunch business sense, move over Prada!

Adel, you have been with me since conception and your
friendship means so much to me.  Here's to a wild ride with
success for us all.

Nina Centeno covers Arts & Entertainment to the ninth degree

fabulous cabaret singer and probably able to leap buildings in
a single bound!

Esperasa Vasquez is one of our newest associates and
presents Red Carpet Concierge with a strong forward
movement in whatever project she begins.  Her multi-tasking
attributes are limitless.  And she always reminds me to "take
a break"!

Aliki Marinos, PR and Events Manager is our newest member
and worked quietly in the background to make sure that
Outstanding Chicago Community was represented with style.  
Welcome, Aliki!

And of course, I could not have weathered the storm without
the constant attention of my husband Chakib Doghmi who
untiringly did what it took to make this happen.  He is the other
column holding up the entrance to this endeavor.  His
friendship and mentoring are worth millions.  Well, he is first
and foremost a journalist!  Thank you Chakib from the bottom
of my heart.  

Friendships in Red Carpet are always in bloom, we have no
time to backtrack on an "oops" we forgive and forget because
we stay busy.  Creativity is our goal and we all strive to work
toward this together.  That is why we are RED CARPET
CONCIERGE OF CHICAGO!  Call us, we will roll out the red
carpet....
