Montclair Art Museum (MAM) hosted a Smokin’ Hot Barbeque friend/fundraiser event celebrating the exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico: Architecture, Katsinam, and the Land on November 30, 2012, 7 – 10 p.m. in the Museum’s Leir Hall. Guests of the Smokin’ Hot Barbeque were transported from Montclair to the southwest for an exciting evening showcasing New Mexico through the art of Georgia O’Keeffe. The highlighted exhibition features 15 paintings and drawings of Katsina dolls (representations of Katsinam, or Hopi spirit beings) and over 30 paintings and works on paper of New Mexico landscapes and architecture. “This exciting friend/fundraiser embodied O’Keeffe’s passion for southwestern culture, as depicted in our current exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico,” said Lora Urbanelli, MAM director. “Hurricane Sandy tried to put a damper on this special event by forcing us to reschedule, but an enthusiastic crowd of over 300 attendees came out for the new date and kept it ‘smokin’ hot.’” The southwestern theme displayed itself through a fabulous silent auction and exquisite savory fare provided by Ruthie’s BBQ & Pizza. Margaritas and cocktails were conjured by Egan & Sons while DJs Russ Boris and Darren DeVivo from WFUV (90.7 FM) played O’Keeffe-inspired soundtracks. This event was offered in partnership with Ruthie’s BBQ & Pizza, Egan & Sons, WFUV, and Elements Therapeutic Massage. All ticket proceeds benefited the Montclair Art Museum. For the past few weeks I have been writing down the things my soon to be three year old daughter has been tell me that she needs, wants and I have to buy.

(español) 1) Name, age, residence? Aisha Peña and live in Santo Domingo, DR. 2) Name of your blog? Ella Es Fashion 3) How did you come up with the name for your blog? It was a bit complicated coming up with the name because I wanted something that was original & good yet that was 100% linked to fashion, unfortunately I could only meet the last part (lol). But in the end I liked it, for any girl who wants to be "She is Fashion". 4) How long have you Blogging? I'm a blogger since 2005 with my personal blog, but started with Ella es Fashion in November 2009. 5) Why and how did you Decided to enter the world of blogging? I had always been drawn to fashion magazines, which my mom would give me as a very small child, so that world (which I did not quite understand at the time) was taking shape in my head and pulling me more and more, I very interested in all the photos, models, items, etc. As time passed this passion was growing more and more until boom! I had to find a way to channel all that interest that drew me to fashion and that's when I decided to create the blog, to learn everything in my power, carry a kind of file and share this passion with as many people like me who enjoy fashion. 6) What if any is the Difference between a blogger in the U.. S. and the Dominican Republic? As blogger I do not think there are many, now as far as a professional level and room for growth it is quite another story. Back in the US they recognize and give value to the work of a fashion blogger, There are more opportunities for growth, branding your blog as well as oneself in other areas of the industry. The opportunities are endless for Fashion in the US, it is an established industry one that has just begun here in DR. 7) In 6 months where do you see yourself as a blogger and where do you see your blog?

Right now my main focus is to continue giving the best and it is my job to speak for me, Ella es Fashion is my portfolio for any opportunity that may present itself. 8) What is your goal for your blog in 5 years? No idea, that's what's exciting about this adventure, anything can happen. I still do it because I like it, it is my passion and that's the engine that moves me. 9) How do you describe your personal style? Practical, never sacrifice my comfort for anything in the world, I love the casual, sporty thing, I have this thing for punk-rock. Although I do not like to limit myself, clothing is to have fun and play with it, just put your own stamp to be different. 10) For who or for Which blog would like to be a guest blogger on blog? I really like the site Refinery29, would be a dream to work for them, It would not hurt to meet with The Sartorialist and go over portfolios and then see my picture on their blog hehehehe But I'll settle for going to an event where my favorite personalities lol . 11) What trends are you currently loving and which ones do you dislike?

Always within a budget, I like to buy smart, things I need and that I will use, but of course, the occasional sale of the day is good opportunity to shop and we must seize it. The good news is that now there are so many different ways that one can buy better & organize to do so. 13) Music you are currently listening to?
