Happy Birthday, Kelly

Doni: What do you think is the sexiest thing for a man to wear?

KellY: The scent of fresh soap.

Doni: You funny. I’m talking about clothing.

Doni: Sorry for taking so long to sit down with you today. Bruce is writing his quarterly report and he’s so distracting. I can hardly hear myself think, what with the whoops and yells from his desk. Now he’s hunched over the calculator, and when I tried to tell him something a second ago …

Kelly: ArtHop is Saturday night. It’s our first official one since we hooked up with that dynamic duo Troy Hawkins and Adam Mankoski. Party-party-party all over town. FREE.

Doni: Love those guys. They’re my heroes. They’ve done more for the north state’s art…

Kelly & Doni’s Friday Dish - 2.27.09

Doni: I can always tell when you can’t sleep because I get emails from you at something like 2:30 a.m. I know a lot of women who wake around that time. If we all logged on simultaneously we could rule the world before…
