An honors graduate of the University of Texas School of Communications, Lois moved to New Orleans in 1969 with her family. She worked in several positions over the years but many of our members know Lois Sutton as the Publisher of Where Magazine for 26 years! When that publication ended its presence in our area, she became partners with Donna Horowitz as Co-Publisher of French Quarterly Magazine.
Additionally, she is owner of a beautiful French Quarter gallery, Vintage 329 on Royal Street across from the police station. This unique store carries vintage jewelry including Chanel, Tiffany, YSL, etc. “Vintage” showcases exquisite mid-century barware, sunglasses, paintings and posters, as well.
Previous to being rooted in the New Orleans Tourism Industry with these great media publications, Lois was Regional Marketing Director for Merrill Lynch Realty’s Southwestern Region. However, one of her most unique jobs was Regional Marketing Director at Chuck E Cheese! She handled parties, got to take Chucky to school events and her lucky children got unlimited tokens.
She’s very excited that her son Scott just came out with a book called The Pursuit of Home, a guide to buying and selling real estate. He owns a real estate company in Manhattan and has 20 years of experience selling high-end property. Recently, he opened his own New York company called Magnetic.
Lois is a true Taurus and both UT and Merril Lynch had “Bulls” for their mascots…so she just couldn’t get away from the bull.
She loves pilates, needlepoint, early morning walks, candy and her seven beautiful grandchildren!
What Lois likes most about being a MSWIT member is the camaraderie and interesting events.
