  Cindy Barrymore

  I've worked in just about every facet of media from TV and film to magazines, promotional materials, newspapers, and books. I currently work as a media consultant, which (in addition to coaching executives in Corporate America) also includes writing and shooting photography for PR and journalism. I've specifically covered entertainment since the 1990s, as well as performed in TV commercials and studied the history of the arts and pop culture extensively. My work has appeared in People, Newsweek, Us, Self, Life and Style, OK!, Glamour, and on E! BET, and Oxygen, to name a few. I have two graduate degrees in communications and continue to further my higher education. With this blog, I look forward to making you think and to ask questions. But most importantly I aspire to make you smile. Because hopefully as I do with myself, I do not take those whacky celebrities that seriously....
