Perhaps Neiman Marcus Flagship Will Rise Like A Phoenix After Suffering A Fire Of Controversy
In recent days the 117-year-old Neiman Marcus Downtown store has been caught in a whirlpool, like contentious divorcing parents deciding how to proceed.

The result was … [Read more...] about Perhaps Neiman Marcus Flagship Will Rise Like A Phoenix After Suffering A Fire Of Controversy

We Regret: Fundraiser’s Anatole Guests Paid Dearly With Time And $$ For “Complimentary Self-Parking”
There's a reason why dessert is served at the end of a meal. Or, why a mint is placed on the pillow before going to sleep. It's to finish off the moment on a sweet note. Alas, such was not the case at a non-profit's otherwise stellar fundraising luncheon at the Hilton Anatole today. As the event finished up just a minute or two past one, guests headed to their cars. Some … [Read more...] about We Regret: Fundraiser’s Anatole Guests Paid Dearly With Time And $$ For “Complimentary Self-Parking”
MySweetOpportunity Series Is Done But The MySweetWishList Series Plans Are Early Bird Announced

JUST IN: Despite Denials, DSO President/CEO Kim Noltemy Is Leaving North Texas To Head Up L.A. Philharmonic
It was at the recent Mad Hatter's Lunch on Thursday, April 11, that Dallas Symphony Orchestra President/CEO Kim Noltemy was asked whether she was staying in Dallas. No, there had been no rumors about her heading elsewhere, but it seemed only logical. After all, having established a remarkable reputation for heading up the DSO since her arrival in 2018, it seemed natural that … [Read more...] about JUST IN: Despite Denials, DSO President/CEO Kim Noltemy Is Leaving North Texas To Head Up L.A.

MSC Calendar Is Back In Dating Mode After Something Called DMARC Tripped Up Submissions

In reaching out to some of the Calendar listing vets to say their events were MIA, they swore they had provided the info. Seriously, they were way too professional and … [Read more...] about MSC Calendar Is Back In Dating Mode After Something Called DMARC Tripped Up Submissions
