Psychic Matchmaker Urges Women To “Get Their Head Out Of Their Apps”

By Alyse Mier Deborah Graham, better known as the Psychic Matchmaker from TLC, shared her advice on the challenges of dating in the digital age in her new book Get Your Head Out of Your Apps. Graham did a Q&A session with women and men during a happy hour at Books and Books about the importance of connecting with someone spiritually. “The premise of the book is to teach people how to communicate, teach people how to open up and follow my rule of three (three dates and three months of monogamy). What’s different about this book is that I teach you how to use that part of your brain that can connect with someone spiritually and use it to reach a higher frequency.” Graham also shared her gift with some women who were looking for answers on where and how to find love in an age dominated by nonverbal communication and offered them sound advice on steps they needed to take on completing and getting in tune with themselves.

Fashion Project Hosts Successful Four-Day Film Festival at Bal Harbour Shops

By Gisel Habibnejad Photography by World Red Eye Learning about the fashion industry firsthand often involves working hands-on, side-by-side veterans. However, sometimes it’s fun to sit back and watch classic movies as they take you on a virtual tour of fashion throughout the decades. Guests enjoyed this marvelous experience at Fashion Project’s four-day fashion film festival, Wearing Time: Returns, Recalls, Renewals. With films curated by Marketa Uhlirova of Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, who is co-founder of Fashion in Film, and Tim Gunning of the University of Chicago’s Department of Film and Media Studies, the collection features pop culture hits, underground films, and rare footage at the hands of the guests. “In film, not only can dress become a vehicle with which to travel through time, is can also measure time, set its rhythm. It allows us to wear time, even as time wears us out,” shared Marketa Uhlirova and Tom Gunning. For more information on Fashion Project, please visit www.fashionprojectbhs.com
