Okay, seriously: how cool is that?
Evi Vatidou won the title of Miss Greece 1999 and is mother of two children. She is one of the best-known Greek celebrities, who began her career in modeling. She moved later into media and has appeared on several television shows nationwide, hosting some of them.
My company, Istomedia, is currently developing her new blog, due to be published officially in a couple of weeks. During our collaboration, we’ve become friends, and I gave her the other day Runaway Smile for her children. Today, she sent me this picture of her, reading the book. Isn’t that nice?
Why not do it like Evi and read my children’s book, Runaway Smile? It’s free!

Nicholas, you sure know how to give compliments that count! Lucky women, felines & canines (all ages) in your life. Model mind at work – stage photo, make-up & dress-up. Better yet, reader mind at work – book cover up front and top of a head. Eyes actually reading the book. :)) Christine

I was thinking back to when we first connected. You had nominated me for two awards, and I was checking out your page. I had your (current) photo on screen when Electra passed by.
“What a beautiful woman,” she said.
“Yes,” I agreed. “No wonder she was a model.” I then opened your billboard photo. “That’s her. Such a pretty girl. And so sweet – it’s a rare combination!”
“Such a beautiful woman,” she repeated 🙂

Blushing at the thoughtful recognition! Tell Electra thank you, and that was my comment, “such a beautiful woman” when I saw her photo on the Awards Page. Plus the flower head band and smile fit a happy, instantly likable person. Reminded me of younger, carefree days! Especially those 5 years that I lived in Greece. A time of artistic (writing, painting) adventure, and island travel. Still feel happily connected to Greece – by you, your family, your blog, your photos, your writing. Huge thank you! Christine
