May 2010

Wow time passes fast! I went on my website the other day and found me wishing everyone a Happy Holidays! Well, I hope they were!
I have been all consumed with getting our Project, The Baja Blondes, A Lifestyle Reality Show off the ground. I have gotten so much support from all of you, so here is our update.

We premiered our Pilot in January at beautiful Palacio de Mar in their Theater. It was a great evening and we were encouraged by the overwhelming response.

In February, we attended an event at Xploration Studios, formerly Fox Studios, and I got to meet President Calderon. Wow! He spoke at the event and as he was walking past us to leave, our Director Robin jumped on a chair calling his name. President Calderon turned and came right towards me, Kissed me on the cheek as I handed him a copy of our DVD. Debbie managed to get a perfect shot of him holding the DVD. We were over the moon to “kind of” meet him.
In April, we had the pleasure of meeting our Governor, Osuna Millan, who loves our project and finally on his instruction, we have the support from the Tourist Board. Now, it is all about money and getting the financing. While that is taking time (ugh), we are determined to get even a few episodes on TV before our Summer Season ends.

Our Blonde Director is going back to the editing room and will re cut 2 episodes from the 20 hours or so we filmed back in November.
As of Today, we should be on the CW Channel 6 San Diego on Sunday July 25 and Sunday, August 1st at 10 am. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Of course this project was born out of the frustration we all have with the American Media and their unfair portrayal of Mexico as a dangerous and scary area to live or travel to. Lousy Economy aside, as business owners we are not seeing our tourists because of fear and for Residents, beloved family and friends won’t come to visit. Loco! Baja has never been more beautiful.

To change the subject, I am introducing a Deli Lunch Menu which is a first for Susanna’s. I am very excited about this and plan to introduce it during Memorial Day Weekend. We will feature this menu from 1 to 5pm daily along with Susanna’s new Summer Menu. Some standout Items will be a Blonde Grilled Cheese Sandwich with cheeses Jack, Mozarella and Brie, Pastrami on Rye Piled High, Italian Cold Cut Torpedo, Sonoma Chicken Salad w/ Red Grape, Walnut & Rosemary Mayonnaise and of course, my favorite, an American Classic Hamburger with Beef from Sonora, of course .

Our continued Thanks for all of your support as we conclude our 6th year in August.
Besos y Abrazos!
