Lisa and Leslie - Friendship Blog

I have known Lisa Robertson for 17 years, 1 month and 6 days.  We met at Bare Escentuals King of Prussia boutique where I was introducing her to my pure and healthy bareMinerals foundation and warmth.   She was definitely skeptical, but hey, everyone was back then. 


On-Air


Lisa and Leslie


We have “grown-up” together in many ways on TV and off.   I would come into town and stay at her house when I had Bare Escentuals shows.  We had a routine, when I would arrive off the plane from San Francisco we would spend the first night talking til the wee hours.  I’m telling you, I’m normally in bed by 10:30pm at home but when we are together 3am crops up pretty quickly!  Staying in and watching movies, Murder she Wrote or Babylon 5 and she would always make her signature popcorn.  We of course spent plenty of time around food but it is hilarious when I think of how our eating habits have evolved over time– she has gotten SO healthy these last few years.  Wow, can’t a girl get a burger and fries? Ha!  Actually I appreciate her discipline (my willpower stinks).



Beauty Set


My favorite time to visit is the Holiday season.  Lisa celebrates in style and I always feel like I’m in the movie White Christmas when I’m in her house and that Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby are going to be sitting on the couch enjoying hot chocolate with us.  Her house is a winter wonderland.  Trees with magnificent ornaments, garland and those elegant poinsettias lining the staircase.  She would take me on a tour of the neighborhood too.  I LOVED our car drives together.  In the summer we would watch the fireflies and in December the gorgeous Christmas lights.

Backstage Hugs


You know this already but I will tell you anyway.  Lisa is the real deal.  We are all so fortunate to have her in our lives everyday, aren’t we?  All I have to do is tune in whenever I want to see her.  She is just the same in person, funny, super smart and uber stylish!  Imagine the two of us in her bedroom closet trying on clothes together and posing in the mirror (Lisa has a lot of gowns and I like to play dress up).


Behind the Scenes


A True Friend


She is a crack up and the most beautiful woman on the planet not just in physical beauty but she is also a giver…always thinks about her friends first.  I’ve been one lucky girl to have her in my life since 1997.   I think we have gotten even better with age -- and you know?  All of you are part of the reason.  You guys have shown us your love and it means the WORLD to us.  So thanks to you, my friends and I will be sure we toast to you when I’m at her house this week. (So excited!!!)

Lisa, you are beyond special – a gift!  And I’m honored to be your friend.


Love you forever,
