Desert's "Gadget Gal" OPENS NEW STORE

Above, interior of the NEW Kitchen Kitchen with owner, Jan Boydstun, inviting you to come browse…For the Chef in you!

Charismatic Jan Boydstun, owner of Kitchen Kitchen, has relocated her new store just 7 DOORS DOWN from the other in the Ralph’s Village, Indian Wells. In addition, she has added a brand new beautiful kitchen for cooking classes, demos and events.

Jan’s parents, Phil and Char Carter started the business in 1979 while Jan was away at Long Beach State.

After finishing college, Jan had a fascinating life – a job with Amtrak, American Airlines and as a photographer in Australia, all paving the way for her path to the desert, to help her parents relocate their Rancho Mirage store in Indian Wells. “They asked me to come for four months…20 years ago!” She found herself loving the business and stayed. She met her 8

husband, Gary, about the same time, had three sons, and the rest is history!

Since then, Jan’s parents have passed on and she has evolved into the “media darling”, known as “The Gadget Gal”.

She enthusiastically sells gadgets that make life easier in the kitchen. You can catch her half hour infomercial on Channel 13 and 14 or book her to do a seminar at your next event. You can also tune into her radio show called “Jan’s Kitchen” every Saturday from noon-1pm on KNEWS Radio, 94.3 FM or 970 AM. Go by and see the new store and find out what everyone is talking about “If they don’t have it – you don’t need it!” Located at 74-945 Highway 111, Indian Wells, CA. For more information call 1-760-773-9464.

The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies celebrates happy days with its newest edition entitled Let The Good Times Roll! opening October 28, and playing through May 16, 2010.

All season long, the Follies brings back the greatest good-time music of the 40s, 50s and 60s. From Big Bands and Swing to Doo-Wop, Motown and Pop, we played these songs on the jukebox, listened to them on our Hi-Fi’s, and watched them performed on TV, always in glorious black-and-white.

Riff Markowitz As always, lavish production numbers, a holiday spectacular (through December 31) and a starspangled finale are all performed by a cast old enough to remember the way it really was!

Joining the Follies Man and his Legendary Line of Long-Legged Lovelies and Dapper Dans this season are four world-renowned guest stars and a remarkable variety act making his Follies debut: Susan Anton (October 28 – December 31, 2009) This talented beauty achieved stardom in film, TV, Las Vegas and Broadway, and now returns to the Follies’ stage for an encore engagement with a truly delightful Christmas performance.

The Four Aces (January 6 – February 6, 2010) This iconic male quartet of the 1950s will perform their many hit recordings, including “Love Is A Many Splendored Thing,” “Stranger In Paradise” and “Three Coins in the Fountain.”

Rita Coolidge (February 9 – March 27, 2010) You’ll remember her first hit, "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher," which reached #2 in 1977, and we've loved her ever since.

Mary Wilson (March 30 – May 16, 2010) She made history as an original Supreme and will perform the hits of the world’s most famous Motown trio. Do you recall “Stop in the Name of Love”?

Brad Cummings & “Rex” (All Season) You won’t want to miss Brad Cummings and his prehistoric sidekick, “Rex” the dinosaur. Cummings may well be the best ventriloquist in show business today!

The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies has been seen by nearly three million patrons, and celebrates the music and dance of the 40s, 50s and 60s with a cast ranging in age from 56 to 86 years “young.”

The show features lavish, Broadway-caliber production numbers and plays five days a week, late October through mid-May. The Follies is housed in downtown Palm Springs’ historic Plaza Theatre – a charming, neon-encrusted old movie house and an attraction unto itself. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Box Office at (760) 3270225 or online at www.psfollies.com now.
