Katherine Crowley

More than ninety percent of women of different social strata claim that envy and jealousy toward other women colors their lives. Ninety percent of women in diverse jobs also report that competition in the workplace is primarily between other women, rather than between women and men. With women comprising over fifty percent of the workforce, a new dynamic has emerged.  Women find themselves working with each other in large numbers on all levels of the corporate structure for the first time.  While one would think this would create harmony and a supportive workplace atmosphere, it often fosters power struggles.  Enter Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster. In their previous books, Working for You Isn’t Working for Me and Working with You is Killing Me, these bestselling authors came to the rescue, offering solutions for anyone trapped in energy-zapping relationships with coworkers, bosses, or subordinates. With Mean Girls at Work: How to Stay Professional When Things Get Personal (McGraw-Hill Professional; November 2012; HC, $24.00), they approach yet another significant challenge head-on: covert competition between women at work.

During one of the most watched Miss USA® competition in years, Shandi Finnessey was crowned Miss USA® 2004 in the famed Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA before a live audience of 13 million viewers. She went on to become first-runner up to Miss Universe 2004 in Quito, Ecuador. After her year spent as Miss USA 2004, Shandi moved to Hollywood, where she began her career as a tv host/personality. In addition to being on the fourth season of Dancing with the Stars, Shandi has been a guest on numerous shows, including Larry King Live, Reality Chat, Red Eye, The Sean Hannity Show, The Today Show, Access Hollywood and Extra, to name a few. She can currently be seen hosting Lingo with Chuck Woolery on GSN.  When she’s not jet-setting off to an exotic location (she just returned from Sao Paulo, Brazil where she co-hosted the Miss Universe pageant on NBC), she’s running, hiking, biking, practicing yoga and eating as healthy as one can eat.  Despite her demanding schedule, she manages to make health and fitness a top priority.  How does she do it?  I’m hoping to find out!

Melody’s work features small affordable art and miniature paintings which she creates with a combination of colored pencil, India ink, watercolor, and acrylic and sells online. Melody creates tiny art of fantasy beings (like fairies and mermaids) woodland animals, and illustrates children’s books. Being a passionate supporter of animal charity and Co Leader of Art For Critters, a percentage of her art goes toward animals in need! Melody’s work features small affordable art and miniature paintings (ACEOs) which she creates with a combination of colored pencil, India ink, watercolor, and acrylic. Is Melody an artist who can also talk to animals—or a lover of fur and paws who also draws like a dream? Her fans can’t tell where one gift ends and another begins. All they know is that the combination has led to some pretty interesting life circumstances, from teaching art in a chicken coop to composing watercolors on horseback. And that may also be why Melody’s renderings of fairies and forest vistas seem as alive as her portraits of horses and cats. All creatures great or small, real or imaginary, inspire Melody’s brush. Having done her time at art school and the gallery scene, with a successful series of commissions along the way, Melody now paints miniature masterpieces in the Berkshire Mountains while tending to a menagerie that includes a horse, a husband, three cats, two kids, and a dog.Websites:www.melodylealamb.com Gift Shop: www.miniatureanimalart.com Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/mllamb47
