While gathering archival materials for Charlotte Magazine's Charlotteans of the Year Luncheon on Dec. 11, I came across this still: a shot inside Cam Newton's then-home in Charlotte from the 2019 season of "All or Nothing" from Amazon Prime. Two quick notes, based on this: 1) A blown-up magazine cover is a highly underrated piece of home decor. 2) Cam Newton: I don't have your current email, but if you want to come to the 2024 COTY Luncheon, I know a guy.
