SHOWGIRL - MOTHER OF SEVEN - GRANDMOTHER OF TEN Palm Springs Follies' Glenda Guilfoyle Relishes All Roles

Posted by Tim Kennedy

Palm Springs, California (April 14, 2008) The names define Glenda Guilfoyle and her being.

She reels them off in sequential order: "Stacy, Stephanie, Karin, Sean, Curt and the twins, Victoria and Vanessa." The oldest, Stacy, is 47 and a burgeoning fine artist of Hawaiian motifs.

They are the seven children of the classic septuagenarian hoofer who performs in the chorus line of "long-legged lovelies" for the long-running Fabulous Palm Springs Follies.

But wait. Add to her progeny ten grandchildren, from ages 20 to infancy, and again Glenda proudly recites and without a hitch: "Corey, Courtney, Brett, Connor, Maci, Ross, Shane, Kaitlyn, Gabrielle and, the newest one, Lilyana." She displays a...

Palm Springs Food & Wine Festival Delights California Gourmets

Posted by Kip Allen

Hundreds gathered in the Spa Casino's Cascade Room Friday, April 11, as VIPs sampled chefs' offerings and sipped examples of Chateau Montelena's vintages.

One of Montelena's vintages was a 1998 Chardonny. That year's late harvest and cooler vintage resulted in a fruit-flavor intensity. It is spicier than average, somewhat close to a Riesling. The color is golden with a hint of apple green.

It is a delight to the eye, nose, and palate.
