Transportation to/from MCA
 
Did you Know...

Chauffeured-driven vehicles are quickly becoming known as 'Mobile Offices' or viewed as a business tool while en route to the airport or the next meeting? You can use a phone, laptop or send a text message without concern of being in an accident or getting a ticket.

Executives are opting for the spacious room and cleanliness of YPL vehicles for privacy, safety and reliability. This environment becomes increasingly advantageous when there are two or more passengers!

Keep YPL in mind to save time while continuing to be productive!
 
Going to the Airport?
 
Create online reservations within minutes, allowing YPL to transport you in a relaxed style and manner! Your vacation or business meeting starts and ends with us; we take that responsibility very seriously.
Renowned Chicago Photographer & Artist, Steve Starr's New Book

Glamorous Latin Movie Stars of Early Hollywood
 
Celebrities, and those that dressed like ones from the 20's and

Steve Starr!

 30's, came together for an incredible event. Renowned Chicago Studio Photographer, Steve Starr, signed his new book, Starrlight - Glamorous Latin Movie Stars of Early Hollywood. YPL was pleased to be part of this event by providing a beautiful, white limousine. What inspired Steve to produce a book of this nature? He states, "I have always been fascinated by movies, stars, art, history and the Art Deco and Moderne period, and loved the Latin cultures. The book brings all of these elements together...

I find it fascinating that some of these people, born in a small town in another country, made it to Hollywood...
gained fame, riches and woldwide recognition. A Latina woman who did this more than half a century ago was really an achievement!"

Early Hollywood


The 184-page-book features color photos of Maria Montez, Rita  Hayworth, Lupe Velez, Carmen Miranda and Dolores Del Rio and chronicles their lives. It features over 100 images and is bound in silver linen.  

Steve's first book was entitled Picture Perfect - Art Deco Photo Frames 1926-1946 (published 1991). "It is a collection of 1,000 beautiful, original glass Art Deco frames that cover my studio  walls... (I)filled  them with original old images of Hollywood stars of the early 20th century. This book presents over 225."

Schedule 'Work, Children & Lunch' in Your Calendars?

 

I recently attended a workshop and noticed a colleague sitting next to me had 'Work' scheduled in her Outlook calendar! I couldn't help but ask the reason for scheduling work, as, "...don't you work 50+ hours a week already?" Mom & Child

This became a subject that we, as a group, began discussing. I was amazed that others had such tasks as 'Children' and 'Lunch' also scheduled! 

 

Kirsten Zoub, director of sales for the Wright Leadership, stated, "Blocking out times for my children, whether it is as little as 15 minutes or longer, provides more concrete time rather than constantly being interrupted by phone calls, texts and emails. The time scheduled for my children has become more 'quality' time spent with them."

Evidently, this is a growing necessity, as is supported by Jason Hensel of Plus Point. Read On...

In Closing...

Furthermore, If you are interested in being featured in a future newsletter, please email me. Perhaps we will be contacting you for a short interview!
