Talent and Light

This Saturday is it! Over Coffee®'s first full onsite podcast happens at Mystic Dragon's Festival of Books, in the City of Industry, from 9 am to 5 pm.  Please come if you can! Due to all the preparations, we're rebroadcasting an early episode of Over Coffee® which you told us you especially enjoyed: a conversation with light-up wearables artist Janet Hansen, founder and president of Enlighted® Designs. If you saw the 2008 Grammy Awards, you saw Daft Punk wearing light-up suits Janet created.  While she has also designed costumes for Britney Spears and the Rockettes, Janet does custom orders for just about any occasion.   Light-up wedding gowns and evening wear are among her specialties, and she can also add lights to a favorite outfit, hat, or pair of shoes. Here, Janet tells the story of her creative journey.  (Would you like to try making your own light-up wearables?  She also has some tutorials, on instructables.com!)   Mystic Dragon's inaugural Festival of Books runs from 9 am to 5 pm, Saturday, August 15th at Frank and Son Collectibles, 19649 East San Jose Avenue, west of Fairway Drive, in the City of Industry.  Hope to see you there!
