Did Someone Say Botox?…

Someone punched her Botox V-card. Result-why the hell did I wait so long? I, and my lineless forehead, are feeling kinda special, especially after waving goodbye to those nasty 11s. Since I waited sooo long to start, the forehead is not lineless but pretty close. Word is it gets better with time and frequency. Eyebrow… Continue reading Did Someone Say Botox?…

There’s a Fridge For That…

Those of us stuck in another time rarely fall for trends. Keeping the younger set close can help when you need someone to say, "Hey get a haircut," or "Don't wear that black dress ever again." Although what could be wrong with any black dress is beyond me. Female chickens insist the dress is a… Continue reading There’s a Fridge For That…

And Now This?…

Can I write a summary for television? I guess so. Evidently, we're taking this show on the road. Advisor Girl informs me we're going to television. At this point, who the hell am I to argue? It's just a nationally syndicated talk show with a well known host. No biggie. Never say you can't do… Continue reading And Now This?…

Do You Hear The Angels Singing?…

10:16 PM Fall fashion comes late to those living upon the sun's surface. It is mid-October before the weather breaks enough to consider a boot, sleeve or jewel-toned cardi. Listening to a trending fashion report while applying my outside face, the heart flutters. There are a number of interesting mentions but one is so very… Continue reading Do You Hear The Angels Singing?…
