A great woman: Estelle Bellomo, Tish & Snooky's mom

NYC Thursday February 21: The acclaimed School of Visual Arts held its annual awards ceremony for the ESTELLE BELLOMO AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN ART THERAPY. Tish & Snooky pose with Suzanne Deisher, the 2013 award recipient. This award was established in 1994 in memory of Estelle Bellomo, founder of the Art Therapy Department at SVA. 

Our beloved Estelle Bellomo, mother of Tish & Snooky and great artist, was the creative genius who named "MANIC PANIC." We are grateful to Estelle for raising two daughters in an artistic environment which supported their ingenuity and encouraged them to live their dreams.

2012 ended beautifully ~ 2013 is starting off AMAZING!

Saturday January 12, 2013 - The season premiere of the television show NEW YORK ORIGINALS featuring a segment on Tish & Snooky and MANIC PANIC is a top pick by New York Daily News TV What To Watch.....with a full color gorgeous photo of Tish & Snooky looking mighty resplendent in their MANIC PANIC hair color! What to watch - absolutely. 

The night before on Friday January 11, Tish & Snooky made an appearance at The Powerhouse Arena for the release of THE BEST OF PUNK MAGAZINE - an anthology of the infamous PUNK magazine filled with great photos from the original punk days including the Ramones, Blondie, and lots of pix of our favorite Bellomo sisters! Tish and Snooky signed copies of the book to a packed house filled with fans.

It's a glamorous world.
