A cknowledgments
T his book is the result of inspiration and work from many people.
In addition to all the wonderful clients we have had the delight to work with, we have also learned much from our own consultants over the years. We are especially indebted to Julie Cunningham, Peggy Dunford, Shirley Froemming, Earlene Herman, Dede Kazmaier, Rochelle Lewis, Patricia Peretti, Paula Slattery, Gayla Totaro, and Josette Veltri. These women have contributed their considerable talents and insights throughout the years. In the home office, Sandra Fitzgerald contributed her invaluable expertise in skin care and makeup and has been a guiding light throughout the production of this book. Mary Cockrell, Jeanne Medeiros, and Mandy Carter made sure business stayed on track, keeping consultants and clients happy. Ann Christensen is credited with a fantastic memory and positive attitude that allowed us to stay focused for long periods of time. And Lara Hales-West can quote this book chapter and verse having typed endless revisions until we got it right.
Jed Lyons, Miriam Bass, Jon Sisk, and their team at Madison Books are credited with recognizing the potential for another, more current, book from Color Me Beautiful.
Steve DiAntonio, president of Color Me Beautiful, understood the need for us to update and personalize the original system and has enthusiastically endorsed our efforts.
And finally...
My husband, Roger Luscombe, deserves credit for being so supportive during the frantic months of writing and preparation. And Anna and Lucy get their mummy back to play with on weekends.
MARY SPILLANE
My children, Michael, Stacy, David, and Julie, have endured ten years of discussion on colors, consulting, and my CMB business and have done so with love and patience. And none of this would have been possible without my life partner, Frank.
