Lime Rock Park’s combined Historic Festival 29 Presented by Jaguar and Sunday in the Park Concours is one of the biggest events for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut, the official charity of Lime Rock Park. Lime Rock set a goal of raising $100,000 this year – and it’s close ($60,000), thanks to Lime Rock’s generous fans.
Following are the ways fans coming to this weekend’s festival can help Make-A-Wish get over the final hump. (By the way, the vintage drivers and entrants are helping, too. See below.)
- A big percentage of each sale of the weekend’s Historic Festival 29 Souvenir Program goes to Make-A-Wish
- Fans have a chance to wave the green flag to start one of the Saturday or Monday races. All they need to do is go to the Make-A-Wish display at the Lime Rock Info Tent and buy a $5 raffle tickets. There are lots of races – 44 all told – so a fan’s chances are pretty good at becoming an Official Starter
- There is giant convention of MGs here this weekend – almost 100 – and they want a Make-A-Wish “People’s Pick” vote to choose the best one for the Sunday Car Show. Fans may make a small Make-A-Wish donation at the MG Tent (on No-Name Straight) on Sunday and they’ll get a voting card to pick their favorite MG
- Fans can also make a Make-A-Wish donation at the Rolls-Royce/Bentley display at West Bend during the Sunday in the Park Concours
- And what are many of the 300 vintage race car drivers doing? For every lap they complete this weekend, they’ve gotten “per-lap” pledges from friends, family and sponsors. The driver that collects the most money wins a Rolex watch, donated to Make-A-Wish by Rolex U.S.A.
- Even if fans are not coming to Lime Rock this weekend and still want to make a Make-A-Wish donation, they can go tolimerock.com (click here) to donate.
Ooooh you know we just LOVE birthdays at Whom You Know, and what fun it is to see what Disney has come up with for your birthday. Fun for kids of all ages, like most Disney things are, Disneystrology gives you a bit of insight into who your friends are too! This book tells Peachy she is like Figaro from Pinocchio...what do you think? Who is born August 28 that is Thumper and he is one of Peachy's favorites. Mickey and Minnie are November 18...this book makes a fantastic gift-for birthdays of course!

Disneystrology combines astrology and numerology with the magic of movies to help readers understand their own personalities. Noted astrologer Lisa Finander has identified 366 unique Disney character types—everyone from Cinderella to WALL-E—and paired these characters to corresponding birth dates.
Readers born on June 3, for example, are especially enthusiastic, caring, and persuasive—traits shared with Dory from the 2003 hit, Finding Nemo. Others born on July 26 are courageous, tenacious, and good-humored—just like Mowgli in The Jungle Book. And those born on September 29 are just like Sulley from Monsters, Inc.— progressive, friendly, and accomplished.
Revisit your favorite characters in a whole new way! Illustrated with hundreds of stills from more than 90 years of classic animation, Disneystrology is an entertaining tribute to the most delightful characters in movie history.
Lisa Finander is an author and editor living in Minnesota, where she earned her B.A. in Psychology and Symbolism from Metropolitan University. As a noted public speaker, she has taught classes, given lectures, and held workshops.

Disneystrology is available for excerpt, feature, or review. First serial is available. Please consider covering Disneystrology in your October issue or on your website during the month of October.

Ooooh, boy does Peachy Deegan love a good party! And of course you know the best ones are in New York, darling! And since no one was going to any parties this past weekend, with Hurricane Irene blasting up the East Coast, the next best thing was to READ ABOUT GOING TO PARTIES! Reading this book is kind of like your own personal party-hopping to each and every delightful hotspot Jamee highlights...and she is so good at showing you what to do rather than telling you. We love that. This also would be a good book to read if you are home sick and need to feel better...or if you are simply feeling like it's not your day.
Every party in this book is well-thought out and executed perfectly, from the standpoint of the reader. A lot of preparation goes into a party: the flowers, the invitations, your outfit, getting the staff ready, the degree of formality, outside with inside Plan B as Mover and Shaker Evelyn Lauder so smartly plans (click to see her lovely Whom video!), the menu, the theme, the atmosphere, the candles, the music, the list could become endless. There are obviously many components of a proper party! It's all about the theme and every component should support that!
We like how they use Mackenzie Childs on page 59; we don't know Jamee Gregory yet but we do know Jamie DeVault and she is just fabulous. Page 79: the Chandelini is totally genius; it deserves a spot in Chandelier Peachy, it is so genius. Page 101: Hilary Ross: No wonder why your table earned the cover of the book; it is to die for gorgeous; no one can beat pink and green the winning combination.
We were pleased to see Movers and Shakers Tatiana and Campion Platt mentioned! We believe they had the most fun party in the book, and we were not surprised. We think we see R. Couri Hay in this picture...p. 145 should look familiar to you as Made to Order was our 200th book review:http://www.whomyouknow.com/2010/10/whom-you-know-celebrates-our-200th-book.html Here they are as Movers and Shakers:(we were so thrilled to be #1 on Fame Game last week: )
Peachy herself never wants to be a giant peach, or even approach anywhere near the realm of big. However, growing a giant peach was just the thing for James, and whether or not you read this book in elementary school, we believe you'd love this movie!http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116683/ And the kicker? Guess where the giant peach takes this crew...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_and_the_Giant_Peach_(film) What did you do during Hurricane Irene?

The word cottage evokes a feeling of vacation, a simpler life, and a less formal approach to living that celebrates the word comfort...and what better time to explore cottages than the last unofficial week of summer? This book is not only an American history lesson, but also a world history lesson in its tribute to Gothic architecture, and it teaches the reader about its evolution from past to the modern day. Of course, we appreciate the English influences and love how this overall architecture design is echoed throughout so many college campuses with style. (ahem, BC.)
Hot mini dresses took over the black carpet at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards, with rockin’ hair to match. Natasha Sunshine, Pureology Colour Ambassador and Owner of Byu-ti Hair Therapy, Pureology’s flagship salon gives a recap of last night’s hottest hairstyles and how to get each look:
Jessie J arrived showed off her cast and a sharp, glossy bob. To get the look, use Pureology's SuperSmooth Shampoo and HairCondition for added shine. Follow by spraying on ColourStylist FortifyingHeatSpray before blow-drying hair with a flat paddle brush. Finish with a flat iron, misting each section with GlossingMist prior to ironing to get extra shine.
Selena Gomez donned an updated ballerina bun by adding volume to the updo. Begin with clean dry hair. Use a dollop of ColourStylist NourishingNectar before blowdrying for volume. Give an all over mist to the hair using ColourStylist StrengtheningControl ZeroDullingHairspray. Tease (or lace) hair from the front hairline to the crown of the head. Pull hair back into a ponytail placed in the center back of the head. Make sure to leave fullness in the front and crown area when combing hair back. Spin ponytail into a smooth bun and secure with bobby pins making a criss cross pattern to keep your bun in place. Finish with a final mist of ColourStylist StrengtheningControl ZeroDullingHairspray.
Get Demi Lovato's gorgeous rockin' waves by blowdrying hair with ColourStylist CutclePolisher. Use a medium-sized round brush and work quickly. The real work is in the ironing. Using a 1 1/2 inch barrel curling iron, take 2-inch sections and wind the hair in a spiral fashion around your iron (you don't need to open your iron, you can simply wind it around a closed iron and hold the ends.) Spray each section before and after with StrengtheningControl ZeroDullingHairspray. Continue around the whole head until each section has been curled. Gently run your fingers through your hair and finish with a final mist of StrengtheningControl ZeroDullingHairspray.
