This Week’s Guest: Christy McBrayer

This week Christy McBrayer joins the cast in a new episode (SY 2115). For those of you who recollect Dagmar from 1950’s television – Christy brings that same enticing charm to the show recorded recently in the Boston area. A native of Lee County – yep, that’s Tupelo, Mississippi – Christy is an actress with a one-woman show, Southern Fried Chickie, – the comedic Christy releases to the audience fourteen women who reside inside. During the day she Directs Business Development for the Brass Tacks Consulting firm in Austin, Texas. Miss McBrayer brings a mean brogue, recites classic poetry, and dances in the hottest cowgirl boots around – just keep an eye out for the spurs.

From our very own Carolyn Faye Fox at The Improper Bostonian.

Sixty miles east of Los Angeles, in the heart of California’s Inland Empire, the sprawling city of Riverside isn’t exactly a hotbed of tourism…except for one remarkable place. Whether you’re an architecture buff, a spa devotee or a traveler who revels in the uniquely idiosyncratic, the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa will capture your attention and hold it for days on end.

For starters, this National Historic Landmark is the country’s largest Mission Revival-style building, taking up an entire city block. But there’s more than Mission going on here—original owner and developer Frank Miller was unconstrained by consistency, building wings in differing architectural styles and adding whatever details suited his taste. That’s why the row of flying buttresses along one side are merely Gothic decorative elements, instead of serving their usual structural function. Miller built the inn in stages, finishing the final Rotunda Wing in 1931, when Riverside was thriving as the birthplace of the California citrus industry and a destination for Hollywood celebrities and other notables; the Mission Inn was where they unpacked their trunks and stayed for months at a time.

In the morning, there’s an exceptional breakfast buffet, including ethereal shrimp dim sum dumplings; at night, the Top of the Mark restaurant offers unrivaled panoramic views of the city, as well as an extensive cocktail list. It’s also convenient.
