  • Mr. Bryant, please – full stop

    Are we really going to pretend he was some kind of model citizen? There was serious allegations, legal issues, and long-standing personal problems that people conveniently gloss over. Even his marriage went through very public strain. Yet, somehow, society keeps acting like none if ever happened. It feels like we’re living in a world where…

  • Used My Name to Enter the Academy – Then Launched a Hate Campaign

    Yes, you heard that correctly. They used my name to gain access to the Academy and the film world, and afterward, they turned around and tried to damage my reputation – spreading negativity across different communities and even within the design world. From the Academy to gay male celebrities to the Philharmonic and even the…

  • “Happy Easter: Easter Beauty”

    Happy Easter. This day has always held such beauty for me, and I cherish everything it represents. I hope you’re celebrating in whatever way brings your heart the most joy and peace on this beautiful day. Easter memories have a way shaping us – we make new ones, yet we cherish the old ones just…

  • “Premiere Night: The Fabulous Frank Pitman – Looking Up.”

    This remarkable man could make me smile from ear to ear. I have cherished every moment shared with him throughout the years. I was truly blessed to have him – and his equally wonderful partner – woven into my life. Here’s looking up – forever grateful. Jennifer Nicole Nelson, Principal Designer

  • “Bruno Mars’ Smoking Stunt Misses the Mark”

    Me rolling my eyes. Bruno Mars’ smoking stunt backfired – it came across as careless, classless, and frankly heartless. Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, and glamorizing it in a publicity moment sends a harmful message. There’s nothing cool or edgy about promoting something that destroys lives. Me… Just no wrapped with Ew.…

  • 2013 Philharmonic Dinner Party

    I loved hosting a small dinner for Doan and Tim to thank them for their time. I’m forever grateful – even if we didn’t manage to get a photo together. Thank you both for helping me create such a beautiful space. I also invited Deirdre and Debi – Debi introduced me to Doan, and Deirdre…

  • Me to James Franco: Did you hear me?

    Are you upset because I chose to build something real with my life? Kindly take your leave. That is all I have to say. And no I am not sorry anymore – not after what you said. I’m genuinely disappointed in myself for ever finding you appealing. Sincerely, Cantor Sanger’s granddaughter Jennifer Nicole Nelson, Principal…

  • 2013: Closure – Did We Clear This Up? I am Free, as a Bird.

    I think we’ve finally cleared the whole Philharmonic House of Design. I’m free now – free as a bird – from all of the lies that were thrown back at me in 2013. Never let society twist your story or sell you a false version of yourself. I’m moving forward with light wrapped in hope.…

  • Victoria Mendoza: My Forever Little Angel

    Victoria Mendoza – my forever little Angel assistant. I always wanted her to dream boldly and know she can do anything in this world. Watching her shine brought me more joy than anything in my own life. She was the best assistant – full of laughter, heart, and soul. She loves life like the same…
