it's about time someone gives this woman the chance to do what she does best. at BW, she teammed with a guy to write one of the best columns in the mag...now, she will be on her own Nice hire by DJ.
Here, here! She has been sorely missed since leaving BW. It's great to see that she resurfacing and DJ had the savvy to hire her. Best of luck to Kathleen!
