Taken aback by her photography from her Instagram page, I thought it would have been a great opportunity to have her on the show to discuss her history, experience, and how she captures the moment to create stunning and breathtaking photography. Many people may know her as the wife of Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen. What many do not know is that she is also a graduate of Brooklyn Tech (1 of the 3 most in-demand public high schools in New York City to enroll in along with Bronx Science and Stuyvesant) and SUNY Purchase, where she graduated with a degree in Costume Design. Having worked on everything from live performances to TV shows and film, she was working for Live Nation when she met Phil, and has been pursuing her passion for photography and visual art for a long time. I'm proud to have her on the show along with my partner Denise Escobar to discuss it. Part 2 will be up soon. Thanks to Helen for being an amazing guest, and to my previous guest - the lovely Miss Lorelei Shellist - for helping to set it up. SPOILERS! You'll meet Helen and Phil's son Jaxson in this episode (with permission granted from Helen), and you may hear a familiar voice somewhere in here...I think it belongs to a guy named...Chingy Chapman; hehe.
