About

 Since my prissy little girlhood, I have been be-dazzled— in love with beautiful surroundings, fashion, art and all of the amenities of life. I once wrote this in an essay responsing to the question what my ideal job would be:

I want to be the owner of THE go-to boutique for style. Equipped with fashion and accessories for all occasions, an entourage of specialists, in-house stylists, personal shoppers and cosmetologists, Imani Style Company has long been my passion and shall one day be my destiny. There is no such thing as “ugly” at Imani Style. Everyone has a statement to make. To enhance, proclaim, and flaunt is our mission statement. 

Funny. Anyway, I went on to study Journalism/Advertising and am currently a lawyer for a mid-sized software company, where I focus mainly on commercial transactions and intellectual property matters. But, this blog isn’t meant to offer legal advice (see Terms of Use). I started Read My Lips! in the early part of 2009 because I love to write and while I do a great deal of writing in my practice, I really wanted on outlet to express myself in other ways. On its pages you will find a combination of spontaneous, light-hearted expressions and informative, analytical articles, all intended to evoke readers and initiate a friendly discourse. I hope you enjoy the contents. Feel free to leave feedback via comments or email at hauteoffthepress@ymail.com.
