A Word--Okay, Maybe Many Words--of Thanks!

I wanted to write about all the people that have become part of The Lisa Robertson Show "project" for lack of a better term. But I warn you now, it's going to be long!



It started out with The Lisa Robertson Show, then the G.I.L.I.(TM) line, then A Lisa Robertson Christmas, everything coordinating with Facebook, then adding The Lisa Robertson 360 page. I know, it seems like a lot of me. But ironically, it's really about an amazing team. I have to begin with Jen Volansky. She is the managing producer for PM Style and all things Lisa Robertson. It's a big job! Jen and I had worked together for a number of years when I did the Vicenza remotes. It was in those shows that I grew to admire her. She is a smart, strong, amazing woman. I never have to worry when she is in charge. Things will get done, they will be right and nothing will fall apart. She does her job so well, I can relax and focus on mine. I was thrilled when she agreed to lead our team. She has become a good friend, and I could not have done it without her.

One of the other very important people, is Angelo. He is the stylist for G.I.L.I.(TM), PM Style, The Lisa Robertson Show, and anything else I can get him for! He is passionate about his work, doesn't mind working long hours, is extremely talented, very loyal, has a weakness for studded, high end smoking slippers, and always makes it a lot of fun. 


Angelo & Lisa



Nancy, keeps my schedule and generally bosses me around, which would be an enviable position if it weren't so much work. She will make you smile no matter how bad your day is. She brightens my day.

Katie, who handles and coordinates all the things going on in the social world, which has become really complicated! We spend so much time together people are going to start talking. (Just kidding). I am going to miss hanging out with her.
I have been very lucky with the people I've worked with on the social team, Claire, Megan and Erin. They have all been amazing.

And the list just keeps going. Amy who helps decide what blog we're going to do each week. Denise and Priscilla who are the team that do the 360 page. (Don't get in a texting match with Denise, she will win every time and you will be on the floor laughing!)


QVC Crew



Irene who has a laugh that just makes you laugh harder, and she coordinates all the G.I.L.I.(TM) product placement.



And of course, my dear friend Eva. She has done my hair and make up for many years and The only thing she is better at than making me look my best, is being a good friend.

The team that does our shows on Friday nights is an amazing team. This is a show that required a new look at everything. I believe it is the most highly produced live show that we have ever done. Sean and Brian lead the way in the control room. Yes, they are exceptional at what they do, but they also know me and can tell when I am tired or stressed. Then they joke accordingly in my ear to make me laugh.

Skot makes model movements look smoother than water ballet. Jay suits up in what looks like a coat of armor with a big elephant trunk on the front. He is the man that literally wears the camera you see through. Teresa directs on the floor. Cherie and Noelle are coordinating and moving product. The models come in and out and make the most complicated movements look easy and beautiful.

Amy Stran was such a joy to work with doing the social part of the show.

And Alberti has been more fun than "a barrel full of monkeys", LOL! I love them both.

When you see extra video, during the show it is Chanelle's team, Dan, Joe and sometimes Paul, that make it happen. It is amazing how much we can get shot in one day, and how much we can laugh in between every take.

The Christmas Decor shows would never happen without Valerie Par Hill and her team of elves, Bryan, Suzanne, Marcy and Liz. They make as much magic in a day as it would take me a month to do on my own.

And believe it or not, there are more people I should name; Jonathan, Toi, Travis, Ilana and Howard, just to name a few.

One of the joys in life is spending time with people that make your day better. I have been surrounded with them on this project, and it has truly been a joy. I will miss spending Friday nights with them and you. But we have one more week, so let's enjoy the time we have, and be grateful for the time we were given. Smiley Happy


See you soon,
