"My favorite parts of fall are beautiful changing leaves, no mosquitos, & Thanksgiving being around the corner! If I could be anything for Halloween, I would be Wonder Woman because she is my all-time shero..."
-Kym Hampton, former professional athlete, singer, speaker, role model, plus/cosmetic model, mother and so much more!

"My favorite part of fall is entering the hockey rink. There is a smell that is hard to describe but it feels invigorating when it hits my lungs."
- Russ Cohen, Writer/Director of Communications, www.sportsology.info

"My favorite part of Fall is watching the Foliage loosing its freshness and turning into an explosion of beautiful tones of yellows, oranges and reds colors! How full of light are their last days!"

-Pilar Rossi, Fashion Designer - Luxury Fashion Consultant

"My favorite part of fall are pumpkins, soup, seeds and smells. If I could be anything for Halloween, I would be the happiness fairy because life is too precious to be miserable."

-Nancy Lombardo, Host Comedy Concepts Blog Talk Radio

"My favorite part of fall is going up or down the Hudson at 7 knots when the leaves have turned. If I could be anything for Halloween, I would be Jack Sparrow because all the girls love Johnny Depp!"

-Tony Marinelli, President and CEO of A. Marinelli, Au Naturel and YBO (Your Back Office)

"My favorite part of fall is switching out our palette (from black to black~!) for warm tones, animal prints, and fuzzy textures. That , and wonderful fall produce makes me a happy girl. If I could be anything for Halloween, I would be a pirate wench because the magic and adventure of the high seas, Errol Flynn, MGM, sex, and independence all rolled into one colorful costume. Plus, what's more fun than a pirate hat?"

-Ellen Christine, President, Ellen Christine Couture, Inc.

"My favorite part of fall is the baking and autumnal decorating! I love using pumpkins and gourds in soups, breads and pies as well as in decorations around my house! To me it’s the start of the holiday season and I decorate for Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving and through to Christmas!

If I could be anything for Halloween, I would be Glenda, the good witch from the Wizard of Oz because she had a great outfit and what other time of year can you get away with a hoopskirt that big other than Halloween!"

-Nova McCune Cadamatre, Winemaker, Emma Pearl Wines

"My favorite part of fall is the cool, crisp air and the beautiful colors of the leaves...oh, and baking pumpkin cookies!
If I could be anything for Halloween, I would be a sparkly fairy princess because it would be a childhood dream come true!"
-Jenna Esposito, singer

"My favorite part of fall is by far the foliage with its heavy-handed broad stroke of vivid color, that lasts only a short time. Always amazes me that we get to enjoy it for free and I never tire of it.

-Laurie Towers CEO Physical Advantage, The Bridal Body Shop

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
