Swizzle Hips Lives...
It's true!
One of the last things Houstonian Patrick Swayze did before he died was finish his autobiography called The Time of My Life. Along with the actual book, fans of the formally trained dancer should know that the Texan did an emotional and heartfelt reading of his autobiography. From those in the KNOW...it that's said to give you chills.
Patrick's last work will be released as an audiobook, CD and will be available on the same day the book releases which is September 29, 2009.
Not only will Houstonians and Texans run to grab this emotional, inspiring and moving piece of our history but we know people all over the world that were inspired by this amazing and wonderful man snag this audio book up as well.
We love you Partick and are blessed that your legacy will live on to help others.


Enron DISH a LISH!
GET OUT! Come back in and GET OUT again!!! Possibly go commit suicide die die on vacation like Ken Lay...allegedly of course.
Right now in London you can take the piss, as the Brits say, at Enron! The English are having a go at the Houston disaster over a stage play called Enron, based off the Houston based energy company that committed heaps amount of fraud...understatement we know.
The sold-out show is doing so well in London's Royal Court Theatre that Sony Pictures has purchased the film rights from the playwright, Lucy Prebble, and is looking to make a movie out of the show (Fun with Dick and Jane anyone?) even commissioning the playwright to work on the screenplay about "most notorious scandal in modern corporate history." P.S. look for it on Broadway in April 2010.
Wall Street before Wall Street 2 comes out with Shia LaBeouf? As much as DISH thinks some of the folks involved with the idea of Astrodome Studios are silly, self involved and worthless...Shouldn't this movie be made here since the disaster happened here? Shouldn't the money go to help out the folks that lost everything because of this mess?? We are just sayin'...
P.P S. hasn't this already been done?? Filmmaker Alex Gibney made the Oscar-nominated documentary "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room"in 2005. Plus... Warner Bros. has been developing an Enron movie for years, adapted by Sheldon Turner from the nonfiction book "Conspiracy of Fools" by Kurt Eichenwald. Leonardo DiCaprio is a producer on that project, which director Robert Schwentke ("The Time Traveler's Wife") has been developing.
So what makes this such a hot topic?? See you at the movies! =)

Bliss
Yes, we fully admit that DISH loves to shop but it's rare that we actually partake. There is a way around it though...having parties at the stores! =)
Thursday afternoon Fendi in the Galleria closed down for us and served a sit down, three course lunch as the kick off for the years hottest party....more about that later! HINT: it's November 7th!
Houston's most beautiful and influential were there, Debbie Festari, Rachel Brown, Robin Reimer, Caroline Kenny, Carolyn Farb, Lori Geshay, Elizabeth Glanville, and so many others! It was mind blowing to sit at a table amidst the most beautiful hand made Italian items AND Houston's most ellite. Two of the ladies at DISH'S table had climbed Kilimanjaro! These are more than just society helpers and servers via their fav charities BUT physically taking on the planet as well! It's a huge inspiration to listen and chat with these amazing people!
DISH Lesson: The world is your oyster, choose your topping!
