Glossy Glam in Steiner Ranch
In the past week or so, I have driven out RR 620 four times. Haven’t made it up and down the Lake Travis expressway that frequently since our sailing days in the 1980s. It was time for Glossy Glam.

Introducing the magazine’s June issue, the Glam party brought together advertisers, marketers, publishers, fashionistas and social connectors. The custom open house spread out over 15,000 square feet or so above Lake Austin in a southern European style.

It’s hard to imagine what families do with 10 times our bungalow’s interior space, but guests clearly enjoyed clambering around the dark woods, curving staircases, luxe bathing rooms and walk-in closets the size of our living room.

It was a pretty dressy assembly, too. Early on, I noticed three tall, lovely women, then spied them later in another part of the estate. Strangely, they looked quite different. “We’re changing clothes every 30 minutes,” said the models. “As part of the Dillard’s display.” The gimmick worked. It grabbed my attention.
Zeke and Lucile Shotwell
I spoke with social stars I know well, but also newcomers, such as Victoria Heckenlaible and Gerald Rich of the Daily Texan, who seemed supremely comfortably in such posh surroundings.
