About Me	Several thing in my life has happened to me since High School and College. I went to Israel and joined the Israel Army.I was in the Yom Kippur War. Then I came back to the states and met my husband of 26 1/2 years and had a son. My husband passed away 2 months after we moved to Florida. I pondered on what I am going to do since he was the love of my life. Having MS didn't help and I developed a business for feet since I had so much problems with walking. My business became one of the largest over the counter foot supply in Florida and I sold it. It was too big for me to handle and it wasnt fun anymore building it. Now Dr Jills owns it. I always had a love for art, animation and comic books sooooo. I went into the comic book business as a private dealer We started with 70,000 comic books that I bought at $600 for the lot sold them for $1.00 each and slowly went into high end comic books. I went to various shows and decided what a great idea to open my own show. And I did. The first year I'll be honest it stunk. We didn't do so well. We had close to 1000 people per day walking through a place that held 10,000 so it looked like no one was there. We had for celebrity guests Walter Koenig (Mr Checkov in Star Trek) Priscilla Barnes ( The Devil Reject and # is company) Gregg Valentine , Jim Neidhart, Honkey Tonk Man, and Virgil wrestlers, and a few other guest.They werent a draw. The 2nd year we held it in Orlando. It was a little better but again the place was too large and it looked like too much space and too little people even though we had 1500 per day. We had Lori Alan (Simpsons and Sponge Bob) Greg Berger (Garfield and and friends, Transformers, Men in Black the cartoon) Rev Schnoor ( Jerry Springer show) Blue Meenie - wrestler This year we moved to a smaller venue and I think will be too over crowd because of the celebrity guests I have this year. I sold over 2000 per sale registration which is the largest amount I have ever sold in pre sales and we still have time in sales. Sybil Danning, Jewel Shepard, Terrance Zdunich , Jason Craig , Kynt & Vyxsin and Eric Vale are my hot celebrities. My last min add may be Rob Zombie if he can clear himself I talk to Bruce Campbell on FB IM daily. I met him at another show and we became fast friends. He wants to do my show. Brad Pitt is friends with my buddy Mike Holman who was on Jack Ass and my guest and he wants to do my show next year but He's coming to see Mike at my show this year. He's having a nasty divorce . Paris Hilton is angry with me because I have Terrance Zdunich and didnt invite her. But she plans to walk into my show anyway with her own security.Next year I'm getting my friend Branden Fraser. Branden is an absolute sweetie. He's too busy this year with his new movie in production and his divorce. LOL I'm like People Mag. I know all the stories. I hate Florida and I plan to return to Pennsylvania but not to Philadelphia. I am looking at Harrisburg for my new home. I have not been to a reunion because I have been taken off the list do to the one who is running the reunions because she dislikes me I've been a lifetime member of the Alumni and there is no excuse for me not getting this information and I updated my address. I get Oh Well maybe next time. After talking to about 5 dozen people who we graduated with they are also lifetime members they got Oh well Next Time too. . . It's time to let it go!! the H.S. jealousy and move on. Some of our roommates are sick and dying and I think the reunion should be now every 5 years. I was happy for my husband when he went to his last reunion 4 months before he passed away. At least he was able to see people who he hadn't seen in years. Memories are all some people have left. So God willing I am going to organize a reunion that everyone can go . Somewhere in Center City Philadelphia close to trains to the airport. thinking of 2013? I have the connections for entertainers, bands, djs, etc. And I have a convention planer who will get us the best rates locked in! My life has been exciting, full of love and happiness. And that is it without going into details Recently I met a wonderful man named Jacob Victor Cohen. He was born in Israel and his family moved to Australia. Yes he's a Aussie and we fell in love and have been together since December 17,2009. I am extremely happy with him and he's the best thing that ever happened to me. Yes I do now believe in love at first sight now. The only problem we had was bring my ...(read more)
