{July 5, 2010} NOT A FIRE EXIT book review

Not A Fire Exit
The powerful and emotionally charged prologue of “Not A Fire Exit” sets-up mystery that unfolds on the pages to follow which asks the question parents hope they never have to ponder “What moral choices are you willing to make to save your child’s life?”

A childless couple is struggling on those moral issues that they are forced to confront while attempting to solve the mystery they’re unwittingly drawn into.

Peppered with humor, “Not a Fire Exit” is a compelling story that will strike a chord not only with parents, but with couples who are still discovering their relationships and anyone who loves a funny,
compelling novel.

{April 21, 2009} socialites spring commercial

Donna Spangler, along with her Social-Lights 90210 co-star Sabrina A Parisi, have just finished filming their third bug-bee-opium-den-red-carpet-233 commercial “Spring Angels” which is currently in post-production. Say Goodbye to the Winter Queens and welcome the Spring Angels! In this commercial they start off as angels and magically turn into a ladybug and a bee. This is another fun, enjoyable commercial that will be aired in Europe in the beginning of May. The series “The Angels” is directed and produced by Donna Spangler & Sabrina Parisi. Executive Producers: John Meazzo & Richard Benveniste. Cinematographer: Rita Temsamani. Special Effects, Sound & Editing by Hareendra Samasakera. Set Photographer: Glen Lipton.
In this commercial the Angels say goodbye to the winter while dressed in white, angel classy gowns and welcome spring. There are some very cute special effects. The attention grabber is when the duo are smelling the white rose and are then transformed into happy bugs. Another shocker is that Sabrina has decided to change her look completely…Not to mention that all the jewelry the two socialites are wearing are real diamonds. The first commercial “Snow Angels” was released for the Holidays and had such an incredible success that the two socialites decided to continue with this project. The second episode, Love Angels was a tribute to Valentine and all the lovers. The Series will include 12 episodes and by the end of 2009, Sabrina and Donna will release a DVD with all 12 episodes including and not limited to gossip, snaps, fun, and “behind the scenes”.

On Sunday November 23, 2008, thousands gathered to watch the 8th Annual Holiday Tree Lighting at The Grove of Los Angeles. Headlining the event was Natalie Cole singing her father’s holiday favorites with comedian John Lovitz as host. The 106 foot tall white fir tree from McLeod, California in the Mt. Shasta region of Northern California was lit and decorated with 10,000 lights on 15,000 ornaments. The exciting, festive evening included a visit from Santa, falling snow and an amazing fireworks display that could be seen from balcony’s around the city. The tree at the Grove is taller than the famous NYC Rockefeller Center 70 foot tree and was chosen because it is over 80 years old and near the end of the white fir’s life cycle. After the holidays, the branches will be used for mulch and the trunk for firewood. It is noteworthy that 14 new white fir trees will be planted in its place. It was a pleasure to be around the fresh, healthy smell of the beautiful white fir. The evening was joyful and enjoyable and set the tone for a happy, festive 2008 Holiday Season. Happy Holidays from the Socialites!
