VIOLET (Pink) PICKS



My staff - Stephanie Angelyn Casola, Lana Mini and Susan Steinmueller - surprised me by turning one of our newspaper's features, Pink Picks, into 'Violet Picks.' Here's how it appeared in Observer & Eccentric newspapers Thursday, Oct. 23.

The PINK staff congratulates Features Editor Wensdy Von Buskirk and her husband Jeff Von Buskirk on the birth of their second child, and first girl, on Friday, Oct. 17. Violet Von Buskirk was 8 pounds 12 ounces and joins big brother Verick, 3. With warm wishes, we’ve compiled a list of fun, fashionable Violet Picks in her honor:
