Hers was a hipper, more irreverent style, a clear appeal to the younger demographic the station was seeking. She is attractive and quick-witted. What's more, she came across as a real person who could think on her feet, not some sit-down stiff whose broadcast personality was limited to a couple of limp lines of happy talk at the end of each program. But to some, she seemed more interested in developing a TV persona than any credentials as a serious journalist. We are all ambitious.

Blurbs about her could be repeatedly found in the gossip columns of The Dallas Morning News . In Cigar Aficionado magazine, she unmasked herself as one of several news-anchoring cigar smokers. Often, she would call into a local radio show, talking on air to the same DJs who attended late-night parties at her Deep Ellum loft. She just enjoyed being seen. Perhaps she garnered the most press coverage when she began singing with Tommy Hyatt and the Haywires, belting out cover songs for the Deep Ellum group.
