Miss A Columnist

Dena Miller is described by Style Network as a "Queen Bee". Formerly a glam rock scene Diva, Dena is now a Socialite on the Dallas philanthropy scene, specializing in Polo events that benefit women's and children's causes. .
While never forgetting her small town roots from a Midwestern farming community in rural Missouri, she’s fit right in the “Big D” since coming here in 1984. After 11 years of promoting the music scene, hobnobbing with the most popular bands from coast to coast, she switched gears after meeting her husband at the first Polo match she ever attended. Always one for excitement, Polo became her new rock n roll.
With her marriage and new found passion for polo, came Philanthropy. Miller founded the Ladies Polo Auxiliary of Texas in 2005 with the goal of promoting the Sport of Kings in north Texas via charity events for causes that are close to her heart. To date the LPA has raised over $500,000 for causes such as domestic violence, children with serious medical needs, therapeutic horsemanship, the Polo Training Foundation, children’s advocacy and food drives for north Texas food Bank. When not working on her own events she is attending Charity luncheons and balls as well as volunteering at golf tournaments and Special Olympics events. She is a member of the USPA Equine Welfare committee and on Board of Dress For Succes Dallas.

Writing has been a lifetime passion of Dena’s. Besides working on a book that proceeds will benefit domestic violence organizations, and writing for two national polo magazines, is a frequent contributor to Dallas area publications, winning Best Contributor Award from Dallas Morning News Neighborsgo, she is co-authoring a book on the phenomenon of cyber bullying by adult women, referred to as Cyber Harrassment. Please take the Anti Cyber bullying Pledge at www.causes.com/actions/1671776#

Cirque Du Soliel Presents KOOZA In Dallas

Cirque Du Soleil KOOZA

On Wednesday, September 19  media and select VIP’s were treated to a private preview party to experience Kooza, a Cirque Du Soleil creation. The big tent, or Grand Chapiteau, was filled to capacity. In fact, it would almost be easier to list who wasn’t there than who was. Just to name a few of Dallas Who’s Who in attendance were publicists Allyson Aynesworth, Jeff Crilley, Lisa Endicott, Hamilton Sneed, style guru Steve Kemble,  Victoria Snee, blogger Cynthia Smoot, local actress Leeanne Locken, Dallas TV star Larry Hagman, actor Drew Waters, Bravo TV’s Matt Nordgren,  restaurateurs Stephan Pyles, Abraham Salum, Shawn Horne, Tiffany Derry, CBS reporter Teresa Frosini and the list goes on.

Cirque Du Soleil never fails to amaze and this show is no exception. Lauren Smart calls Kooza “the most traditional show created by Cirque in recent years.”

Created by David Shiner, Kooza takes you back to days when the circus was mysterious, maybe even a little dangerous. A sinister stranger tempts a young child into a magical world where in between nail-biting feats of acrobatics, contortionists, high wire balancing and more, a trio of clowns and two footmen amuse and harass the audience. Be warned, their antics are filled with adult humor that is not appropriate for young children.

Cirque Du Soleil donated 500 tickets to Friday, September 21 show to Promise House. One hundred percent of those ticket sales went to the mission to help homeless, runaway and at-risk teens. We love that philanthropic addition to such a wonderful performance!

WHEN:  Friday September 21 – October 28, 2012

WHERE:
Under the white Big Top at Lot E

500 Memorial Drive beneath Reunion Tower
Dallas, TX

TICKETS: $43.50-$104.50. Discounts and VIP packages available. Call 1-800-450-1480 or purchase your tickets here.
