Meet Taylor Anne Smith - Independent Arts Consultant!

Although she has been extended membership offers many times, our Independent Arts Consultant, Taylor, has remained steadfastly "independent". When asked by the Board why she has refused the honor of Trixie membership, Taylor has explained that she feels she can better serve the Society's membership on Arts related matters from a critical distance.

Taylor graduated from Indiana University in Bloomington but, unlike most girls at Major Midwestern Universities, she did not immediately settle down to a consulting or PR job and begin searching for a husband. Taylor jetted off to Europe to further her art studies, snow ski in Switzerland and participate in world events. She lived in Europe for six years and after subsequent moves to other major metropolitan areas back in the USA, she settled again in Broad Ripple. This is a fabulous benefit to our Society! Taylor also covered the political beat for Rolling Stone Magazine from Berlin, painted masterpieces for contemporary galleries in Italy, France and Spain, and crashed a new Mercedes Benz into a fully-loaded street car in Nuremberg resulting in a one year driving ban in the EU (European Union).

Taylor's role as a non-affiliated, independent consultant to the Society is to provide art acquisition advice to Trixie members and their boyfriends/husbands. Taylor has not only provided sound, consistent investment and acquisition advice to hundreds of members over the years, but her abstract contemporary paintings grace the buttery, creamy walls of the finest homes in Broad Ripple, Meridian-Kessler and Williams Creek. Her art has a contemporary, dark edge to it that brings to mind the drunken rage of Jackson Pollock, the witty obscure commentary of Andy Warhol and the systematic, fractured sentences of chemical scientists. Like her semi-sordid past, it is disturbing and pleasurable all in one joyous instant.

Trixies interested in contacting Taylor for a private appointment or to view her current work may contact her through her slick website. Taylor's studio is downtown in the fab Stutz Building.

Society Member Kendra O'Reilly Terrorized by Large, Mangy Canine


Thursday September 06, 2007 -- 6:20 PM

Kendra O'Reilly was out for cocktails in the 6300 block of Guilford Ave 
with her friends Cheryl, Jason and Tiffany at the Corner Wine Bar.

While the group was sipping Merlot, guzzling Guinness and people watching from one of the coveted outdoor tables, an inappropriately-dressed man came by and took a long overt glance at Kendra's legs. Then -- seemingly out of nowhere -- a large, mangy dog leapt towards their table, grabbed their flatbread pizza appetizer right off the table, and ran down the street. Then the man left.

Kendra promptly shouted after him, but that didn't help to return their stolen appetizer.

Kendra's friend Jason -- a new associate at Baker & Daniels -- theorizes that the dog must belong to the grimy man, and between the two of them, this was definitely a well-thought-out scam to steal food from well-to-do Broad Ripplers like themselves.

A police report was filed in the matter.
