I’ve been so busy the last few weeks, running between cities, doing some great motivational sessions and working with my list of private clients, that I’ve sort of neglected my blog a little! So this week, I thought I’d share an little trip down memory lane with some of the colorful photos from the pages of my book “Tattoos”. They are certainly eye-catching and yes, my fashion sense has sure evolved over the years! So here are some ‘then’ and “now’ shots to keep you amused, and also as additional visual proof of the “power of transformation!”

By the way, it’s early days but I just wanted to let you guys know that I now have a date for my next book. We’ll be publishing at the end of the year, and though I’m keeping it a little under wraps, we’ll be tricking out some exciting stuff on my blogs over the next few months, especially for you!

Hey look I’m a down to earth guy, who loves a bit of bling too! I mean who doesn’t? Well if your looking for fashion bling, look no further than the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show spectacular. Broadcast from The Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, and this year featuring Grammy award-winning recording artist Justin Timberlake. But of course it’s the fashion spectacular that dazzles. This year’s starring top models Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima, Karolina Kurkova, Alessandra Ambrosio, Selita Ebanks, Izabel Goulart and Miranda Kerr, it was something else! And yes, I managed to grab a moment or two with a couple of the stars.

Steve Harvey was doing his thing in LA this week, with a huge Holiday Toy Drive. I was thrilled to be able to contribute–in conjunction with The Ready To Learn Partnership–nearly 600 pre-school toys like the one I’m holding here. These are just so cool: in fact they’re toys that are made up of individual letters held together by magnets, so your child can learn new words while playing! Literacy is a subject close to my heart, as I’ve always believed in the amazing power of words. And don’t forget: the more listening and talking children have done, the easier it will be for them to become readers. So just keep those words flowing like someone turned the faucet full on! I’ll be back with more news on the RTLP in the New Year. I also met some other great folks at the drive including Stevie Wonder and Antonio Villaraigosa, the Mayor of L.A.
