Manette Kaisershot
Manette is a former horse girl and current professional writer who aspires to be an artist and carry on the family tradition.
Her artistic inspirations are her two mothers, designer Lisa Faith, and artist Pam Goldblum and she takes a lot of style cues from her grandparents, Mickey and Lawry Zilisch and the Sean Connery Bond films. Her friend James described her as a seven year old grandma, which she thought was pretty accurate.
When she isn’t working at her job, or on her self inflicted and ever growing list of projects, or convincing Sam (who is actually a huge enabler) of taking on a new 'idea’, she can be found watching Chateau renovation videos on YouTube, having to-do list anxiety, or buying another lamp.
Samantha “Sam” Thompson
Sam is a historian of air and space (or this is how Manette understands her job). She loves to cry and she loves space and is a Pisces, which - if you know about this sign - makes total sense.
Sam’s football (soccer) team is Newcastle and Sam is happiest when they haven’t been relegated to a lesser league.
Sam enjoys hand cream, flying business class, and bad Christmas movies.
Sam & Manette
Sam and Manette met as plucky youngsters in 2005 at the University of Durham in Durham, England.
Two California girls bonded over the beauty of the north east England and the blandness of the boiled potato.
They have remained friends over the many (many) years and in 2019 both found themselves on the East Coast of America and then spent much time together in the pandemic.
In 2022 they made Ms. Goldblum’s Gowns, enjoyed that, and the rest - as they say - is history!

< Sam wrote a chapter in this very cool book about the moon. There are very fun maps and other charts inside.
Manette edited and co-wrote the intro and a chapter in this much less cool, but very smart sounding book about human rights. >
