City Slicker Goes Coastal!

Welcome to My World!

Charleston, South Carolina--Home of the brave and the free!

I'm in love with Charleston...From Day 1, Year 2000--

In love with its peaks, (church steeples) and alleys, cobblestoned walkways...sweet essences fume the gardens.

Spanish Moss, dripping from old oaks; Sunshine or ran, Hand on to your brellas, hide from the soak.

Wild things...couples of mallards, lone egrets or heron, feast your eyes on this menage, on marshes full or low tide, never low barren.

Downtown delights, by day or by night-- afternoon strolls, legal beagles in bowties, and buttoned down shirts, ladies in chic dresses, hats, luxurious tresses and oh so pert.

Beyond the shops, bistros, and boutiques of King, and Four Corners...They pick, and choose, sipping and sup in cafes amidst antique splendor.

Creamsicle sunsets, salt-laden marshes, and soft, shelled beaches, we eat shrimp and grits, suck oysters, savor crusted tarts of key limes and peaches.

Balmy, dusk dusted evenings, pirate ghosts, gaslight posts, wind, water, and shots of thunder...nothing disturbs this harbor of perpetual wonder.

Good or Bad Poetry, I'm hooked, always on the look out for inspiration, living in Charleston.

What's your inspiration?

My LIfe in Charleston!

My photo
I have been living in Charleston since 2000. It is my home "sweet" home, the place of my dreams. I was born in Detroit, studied ballet, performed, and attended Cass Tech High School, majoring in Performing Arts. In 1974, I moved to California with my daughter in 1974--first landing in San Diego, and then migrated north to the Bay Area: Cupertino/San Jose. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts from San Jose State University, and started my consulting business: Pizazz Publicity and Talent Productions. I produced and hosted a television series, "Pizazz Tonight" in 1983. In 1996, I moved to South Carolina for a fresh start. I currently live in Charleston, and cannot fathom living anywhere else. This beautiful southern mecca appeals to all of my senses, and has offered endless possibilities for creative inspiration and cultural experiences. Email: pizazzpr@aol.com.
