Where in the World are Your Bonannos?

Winnipeg, Canada
Sometimes (okay, every day) I take my shoes off at the front door when I get home and I don't put them away. Eventually I'll trip or stub my toe or just become completely disgusted by the mess, and I'll clean them up. --Lisagh

I'VE STARTED A PERSONAL BLOG ...

Having more free time these days (believe it or not), I've started a personal blog.
"He likes Grape Soda, I love Carrot Juice"
How two people who are so alike can be so different when it comes to food.
It's a diet journal of our on going struggle to beat the battle of the bulge, eat well (or not), keep our weight down and the attempts to stay active.
In case there is someone out there in sandal land who can relate to turning 50, working way too many hours and finding themselves too tired to do anything but veg on the sofa ... we invite you to follow along in our journey to better health (or not).

Where in the World are Your Bonannos?

Lisa, thank you for making Stephen Bonanno Sandals a part of a very special day. Congratulations!
Love the pic. -- Vivian

Hi Vivian and Domenick,

I snapped this photo on Nantucket's Siasconset Beach about 60 seconds after my boyfriend of 5 years proposed with my grandmother's engagement ring. He was perplexed about why I insisted on a photo of my sandals (which I adore nearly as much as my new fiance) at that special moment!

Domenick's FIRST Radio Gig

For our annual "end of summer" SALE we decided to do a radio spot instead of a newspaper AD.
When we found out we could actually record it ourselves, we jumped at it.

Heading to the station to record his radio spot ...
















My handsome hubby's first time behind the microphone with Jay the marketing specialist who edits and tweaks and ... edits, so that it all comes together and sounds professional ...
























Rehearsing the AD before it gets recorded for air play...



















Quiet on the set. He's recording and sounds so good.
















Feeling pretty cool behind the mixing board ... A regular "Wolf Man Jack"



Jay working his magic ...














I wish I knew how to link the radio spot to the blog, but I don't ... You'll just have to take my word for it. Domenick sounded like a pro! Thank you Jay for making it so much fun for our first time.
