Mary Ann Mirian
by Patricia Gannon - Society writer
Mary Ann Mirian believes charity begins at home. A
Realtor since 1994, she’s involved with work and family, a husband, and two
daughters, the oldest of which is her business partner. “My youngest just
graduated from UL cum laude,” Mirian adds proudly. They enjoy weekly if not tri-weekly
get-togethers still and she credits a career that allowed her to be a part of
their lives growing up. “I don’t think
they thought I worked,” she said. “They also tell me I’m stuck in the 80s.”
Neither knows yet their mother’s one of Louisiana’s Five
Best-Dressed Women. “I want to tell them
in person to see their faces,” she laughed.
Mirian is dramatic and makes no apology. “I have one life to live,” she says. “If I
get killed today, at least I’ll die looking the way I like.”
She also buys what she likes, but what Mirian ends up
liking are designers, especially Italian and Brazilian. As she talks, she’s
scouting a pair of Brazilian shoes online to see if she can get a better price.
She shops a diverse set of stores—none of which are stuck in the 80s—and
believes in expressing yourself through clothes. She admits this may have been
a factor in her selection.
“My daughters laugh at me and tell me I stand out, even
when I go to pick blueberries,” she said.
We’ll bet they’re not laughing now.
