  1. A World of Creatives Out There

    Tuesday, January 23, 2018












    Every so often, I like to dedicate my blog to giving shout-outs to many 
    other creative people I am fortunate to know.

    I’m in this “cult classic” Hectic Knife which was fun to do.  If this type of film appeals to you, here it is:




    A writing friend hustles to survive like I do, so if you or someone you know can use her services (I hear she’s good at what she does), please contact her and tell her Mindy sent you.  No, I don’t get a commission, but would just like her to know if you heard of her from me.  She does offices, homes, computer clutter, etc.

    In recent years, I’ve been very happy working with Richard Hart for 
    photos.  He’s never made me feel uncomfortable.  Sometimes, we’ve met in a park in Manhattan, and the last time was in his studio in Queens.  Many of you have liked my pics, so I’d like to share his info.  And again, I’d appreciate if you let him know you heard of him from me.  Again, no commission, just a show of my gratitude.  His email:  shootnyc@me.com

    Some of the pics he’s taken of me (some are touched up, some not):

     
        

        
           
       

     























    Not his fault that I gained weight.  LOL


    My friend Ken Machlin has two fun books out.  He’s actually the son of a 
    woman I worked with, Sue Machlin, who was one of the angels in my life.  Ken’s books:


    and:



    Lauren Mayer, an on-line friend, puts out a song a week satirizing our 
    insane political situation.  On youtube, she is Psycho SuperMom 




    A good man named Ted has a bicycle shop where repairs are made, parts 
    replaced, aside from new bikes that are sold.



    Jodi Maestas Carothers and her husband Josh Carothers wrote a 
    children’s book which is for adults as well, “You the Magician.”



    The Divorced Divas of Comedy are available for parties, especially divorce 
    parties!  Can be 2, 3, or 4 Divas, customized to your budget.

  2. Spreading the Word

    This week, I will share the wonderful work of several others in my blog.

    My friend Meghan McNamara and a friend of hers will be running a summer program for teenage girls interested in science fiction, writing, etc.  The program will be free to the girls.  Although there is always money for war and such, programs that actually help develop people’s interests and gifts need fundraising efforts.  So if you like drinking at a bar, winning raffle prizes, and knowing your money is going to something very worthwhile, consider a fun night on April 29th at the Octavia Project Launch Party! on Fulton Street in Brooklyn.  If you prefer to donate some money and skip the drinking, you will be investing in the future. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-octavia-project

    My friend Richard Ploetz is having his play Old Flame run at the Theatre for the New City.  His plays are always a stimulating experience.  I'm looking forward to this one.

    My friend Ken Machlin (son of friend Sue Machlin) is the cartoonist and author of these two very original and clever books that make fun gifts.
