dM's Handmade Beauty Brunch
With Guest Marla Russo of Bella Public Relations
January 12, 2003

dM's Handmade Beauty Brunch was a resounding success, thanks to excited participants and special guest Marla Russo of Bella Public Relations in New York City. dM welcomed Marla (pictured here with dM), who promptly energized everyone with her unique and oh-so-contagious style and enthusiasm! Participants left with a keen awareness of what public relations is and isn't, and how it can work for us if we follow Marla's tips!

While the cuisine was not the most important part of the afternoon, it sure was a nice part. Fruit galore, pasta, omelets, and no shortage of traditional breakfast fare, orange juice, coffee and even tiramisu! The service at Bambulé was impeccable. There's nothing like networking with happy tummy! Enjoying a laugh at right are HBN member Sharon Kinniear of Botanical Skinworks, Marla Russo of Bella PR, dM and Julia Hart (orange top).
