Miss A Columnist
Pam Renee is an original WHO DAT LOUISIANA girl, now dwelling in the suburbs of Dallas, which isn’t so bad of a distance when the craving for a spicy Creole dish, warm powdered beignets, or her favorite drive-thru daiquiri spot cannot be shaken. She flew the coop and attended Tennessee State University in Nashville obtaining a degree in Psychology, and relocated to Dallas. Afterwards, she moved to DC for a few years long enough to determine those brutal winters were not for her, relocated to Atlanta, and eventually came back to Dallas.
She can be described as a vogue-a-holic by default, a socialite by nature, and a shoe-preneur by trade. She delights in the unexpected, has a tongue in cheek approach to tradition, never wears just anything, miscellaneous is her favorite category, and lastly – is easily spoiled by all things fabulous and swanky.
After business hours and on the weekends, you can find her in her zone -- hosting or attending a fashionable event, turning the pages of her collection of fashion and lifestyle magazines to build her social calendar, or designing a stiletto inspired gathering via her mobile shoe bar, How You Shoe’In? pronounced in your best Wendy Williams voice. A lover of shoes since her first pair of pink plastic Barbie heels, she still loves the instant gratification that shoes provide, and has incorporated shoe themed events incorporating stiletto fitness, shoe themed apparel and accessories, and philanthropy -- where shoes are donated to women in need and includes an inspiration note to help remind them to put their best foot forward daily.
Pam loves the Big D (Dallas) because there is always a wide and various array of things available to do, so it has become the norm for her to try to be in two, three, maybe four places in one evening when her calendar gets really tight. She has unintentionally made a name for herself by being the GO TO person for friends, family, (sometimes strangers) desiring something unique, something fabulous, something chic, to attend, stay, entertain, dine, wine, network, or shop. All that she has suggested has remarkably always come back to her with great reviews.
If you have a Dallas charity or cultural event, restaurant, boutique, spa, or salon you would like covered on Miss A, please contact Pam at pamreneepr@yahoo.com. You may also follow her on her very soon-to-be released personal blog at http://lifefabulousnessandthepursuitofswankyness.wordpress.com.

Simply Grace House, is a positive, organized and safe residential community for those facing the challenges of recovery, providing a safe, supportive and structured living environment. Sober for more than 16 years after a long battle with alcohol and drug addiction, Anika Cooper founded Simply Grace as part of her desire to begin a new life and stay free of alcohol and drugs. Simply Grace helps recovering addicts get on their feet and acquire the skills and emotional support they need to integrate back into society and begin a fresh start. Anika remembers the experiences, opportunities and lessons that changed her life while she was in transitional housing, and Simply Grace is her way of giving back.
