Agata

I just got this new ad for Agata Kennedy's boutique, Agata. Isn't she a hot little number? She's wearing a Roberto Cavalli dress that I love on her . . .

Agata is married to the founder of my company, Dan Kennedy. Her story is actually really amazing. Her parents defected from Poland back when it was still under Communist rule. They claimed they were going on a vacation, but the Polish government wouldn't let them take Agata with them to prevent them from leaving the country forever . . . so they left her with her grandmother and went to Italy, where they then flew to the US to live. It took almost a year to get Agata the right papers for her to be able to join them. She grew up in New Mexico, where her parents scrimped and saved to put her in the best schools . . . she then rewarded them by getting a full ride scholarship to ASU in BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING. Yeah, she's brilliant. She speaks four languages, graduated from ASU with honors, was a cheerleader for the Arizona Cardinals, does pageants, was cast as Pamela Anderson's little sister on Baywatch . . . oh and she owns her own high end European Clothing boutique!

I just love Agata and I am lucky to know her and call her a friend!
