Ever since my Grandmother passed away twelve years ago, I have been feeling like I am never alone. Even if the house is completely silent and free from all and any rambunctious/annoying children, I always feel like there is someone else in there with me. Being pretty superstitious, and paranoid of everything under the Sun I've never fully allowed myself to think of whatever "spirits" may be out there, but after my Grandmother died it had gotten out of hand…
Not only do I have an addiction to pleasing everyone around me, (except for myself) but my constant OCD has now spilled over onto dead people too! What if the ghost sees how dirty the house is? Better go vacuum before bed. What if IT goes to the bathroom and sees my kids' pee all over the floor? Better go clean it up. Is it looking at me while I'm in the shower? Note to self: buy a new non-see-through shower door…
Days and months after my Grandmother's passing, the home phone would ring non-stop at all hours of the day and night, and it was always silence on the other end. This was before Caller I.D.-era so there was no way of knowing where the call was coming from. The lights would come on at random times, as well as the ceiling fans. It wasn't until my first child was born that I felt like whatever "IT" was, was actually living in my house. My son was probably a few months old, when one night he was crying uncontrollably. There was nothing we could do to calm him down, and as I stood there holding him I turned my back to one of the corners in his bedroom. His face was facing that corner. All of a sudden he stopped crying. It was SO sudden that I thought for sure he was looking at something, but there was absolutely nothing there. He went from sobbing to laughing within a matter of seconds,which made my skin crawl. I had goose bumps all over my body as I watched him giggle in delight and stare at the corner of that wall. Obviously, there was something he was seeing that I couldn't… Having a terrible Postpartum depression, I just blamed it on that and tried to move on.
As time went on, the phone calls stopped but the lights and fans in the house continued to come alive on their own, very sporadically. The same events continued in our second home, but a lot less. It wasn't until my son was about three-years-old that I started to get those eerie feelings again. One day out of the blue he declared that he sees a "man" in the corner just standing there. It was always a man for some reason… Then when I had my second son, he too started to see "things". While having dinner one night, he yelled out that there is a "Man" walking back and forth in the backyard past our window. When I asked him what he is doing there, he told me that he is just walking around. So then I asked if he was a "White" figure or a "Dark" figure, having heard a lot about the "dark and bad kind" of spirits, to which he replied, "White, and I can see right through him". Now this child has an extremely wild imagination, to the extent of his teacher keeping a journal of all the things he says during the day, so I didn't quite believe him at first. He has been known to weave a good tale on many occasions, with a straight face too… However, this time it was different. He yelled it out at the exact same moment as I was having a strange feeling that there was something starring at me from behind the glass door. As I turned around, my son was pointing to this "Man" walking around in the back yard…
I don't know, maybe my kids are getting to 'Mom's stash of weed', or just having a wild imagination but something doesn't feel right. Its hard to know when my youngest is telling the truth, especially when the day before he exclaimed that on his recent trip to China World he saw all kinds of things, "And oh my I saw so many different dragons and monsters, and everyone was talking to me in Chinese, and guess what Mom? I totally knew what they were saying!" When asked when this "trip" occurred, without hesitation he answered: "When you and Dad weren't looking!" Or the time when he had us all fooled by hiding the dog in the closet, telling me she got out and was chasing bunnies down the hill, making me run half-dressed up and down our street looking for the damn thing only to come back to his grinning face as he pulls the poor dog out of the closet… At that moment, when you realize that a five-year-old just pulled the best April Fools joke on his own Mother, do you threaten to physically harm the child, or feel stupid for not having checked the house first, then run out the door like a maniac??? I am sure my neighbors are used to seeing someone from my household running half-naked up and down the street, that's not even an issue anymore. The same kid on many occasions enjoys taking all his clothes off, while chasing the neighborhood kids around. We don't condone it, but we also don't frown upon such behavior either. Why? Because I'm just too damn tired to care about what my neighbors think. They know we are freaks, and his nudist ways helps keep people away. So, go for it kid.
I do however worry a little bit about that wild imagination, and hope that both of my kids are telling the truth about "seeing" various spirits and ghosts around the house. It is really starting to mess with my head. I'm not proud of having to tell these "spirits" not to look at the mess upstairs…

I absolutely love shopping at Vintage and Second-Hand shops. The thrill of getting a one of a kind piece of jewelry or dress is indescribable! Finding that beautiful 50's dress that no one else has is one of the reasons I enjoy Thrift stores, another is the fact that I absolutely hate shopping at the mall or any other kinds of stores.
I don't understand how women, (and by Women, I mean my Mother) can spend five hours at the Mall only to come home with nothing! On many occasions I foolishly agreed to go with her, to do the whole Mother-Daughter shopping experience, but quickly realizing it was a big mistake. Three hours later, you could find me slumped in a chair, yes THAT chair designated for husbands right outside the Women's fitting room. Dehydrated, hungry and exhausted I am heard blurting out the same answer to every shirt my Mother comes out wearing: "Yes, its perfect!", to which my Mother replies: "You are not even looking at me! And what about this top, that looks just like the exact same top I just tried on only in light pink instead of pink? Do you think I should get the pink or light pink?" And that's when you will observe me grabbing both tops out of her hand, walking over to the cashier and paying for them both, just so we can get the hell out of this place. Of course my Mother will give me a lecture about how I spend too much money, and the next day return both of the shirts.
I have no clue how my Mother does it, she is a Diabetic! She has to eat every couple of hours or else she will pass out. The only explanation I can come up with is either she carries around a purse full of food or the emotional high of clothes shopping gets her so excited that her body forgets it needs nourishment. I'm still working on the hypothesis…
Not only do I hate the crowds, scouring the racks but also knowing that someone else at any given moment could be wearing the exact same dress that I am, and I pray to never run into her! A few times in my adult life, I have shown up to a party only to turn around and leave because someone else was wearing the same outfit… I know its totally a woman's thing, men don't care if another guy is wearing the same shoes, shirt or anything else.
That's why I love Thrift stores and one of a kind Mom-and-Pop shops. I don't mind that all the clothes are used in there, that's not a big deal to me. What I DO mind are the stores that keep their lights super dim especially in the fitting rooms! It took me a couple trips to a Vintage store to realize WHY they keep the lights so low. Those stains on my gorgeous 1950's party dress ain't going anywhere. And believe me, I tried everything. Bleach, super extra-strength OXY-Clean that promises to get out "even the toughest stains", good old-fashioned baking soda, dry cleaning, etc. You name it, I tried it! Considering the stains have been there since the 1954, its probably a big waste of my time trying to get them out…
If I could only teach and then bribe my kids to do clothes shopping for me… now that would be the sweetest thing ever! I know I couldn't trust my Mother to buy me clothes; I'm pretty sure that if it was up to her I would be walking around looking like a cross between Dita Von Teese and a teenage hooker… No offense, Mom but not all of us look good wearing mini-skirts paired with a lace-up bustier…

What has become of chivalry? Does it even exist anymore? Everywhere I go I'm seeing women carrying big packages, pushing bulky strollers, and lugging around overweight toddlers while their men are cruising by without a care in the world! The thing is that it doesn't even seem like the women mind it as much as I do. They walk around very proudly of their non-mannered men. What happened to our society? What happened to men opening doors for women? Have we become so self-efficient, and so independent that we no longer need chivalry, romance, or a simple gesture of kindness?
And what are we teaching our sons, that its alright NOT to hold the door open for a woman. Maybe I'm old-fashioned but when I happen to be behind a man or anyone for that matter, I just assume that they will hold the door open behind them. They don't have to open the door for me, just hold it open after you walk through it if there is someone behind you. Unfortunately, being that naive has led the door to slam in my face many times.
Just the other day I was walking out of a Doctor's office with my kids when a man was walking in. I assumed he was going to hold the door open for my kids and I, so I proceeded to rush my boys through the door right as this idiot let go of it. Not wanting my son to get slammed in the face by the heavy door, I leaped into it with my body. And yes, my back still hurts but not as much as my feelings. As much as I wanted to go off on this pathetic excuse for a man, I wasn't going to do it in front of my kids. Instead I made sure to notice which office he walked into. Can you guess what happens next?
I walked my children to a nearby bench, where we sat down for a snack. While they had their snack, I pulled out a notepad (yes I carry one with me to write down jokes that randomly pop into my head, or in this case assault an imbecile) and started writing a letter to this thoughtful man.
"Dear thirty-something-well-mannered-gentelman:
My name is Julia and we just met moments ago when you didn't have a minute to spare to hold a door open for me and my kids. In case you had forgotten me, I was the Mom leaping into a steel-made door so it wouldn't slam into my child's innocent face. You did however spare a second by looking back to find out what all the ruckus was all about. So sorry for the disturbance. Do you remember me now?
Could you do me a big favor? Could you deliver this letter to your parents for me? Thank you so much. I would like to address your parents now.
Dear Parents of this half-wit, mannered-free, so-called Man. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for raising such a thoughtful, and well-mannered man! Just today he helped me remember what a jungle this world is, and that I should never ever assume other people would hold the door open for my children and I. It was a total disregard of my duties as a parent to almost let my son's face collide with a door! It has taught me a huge lesson, and I would like to thank you for that! Thank you again for raising such an upstanding citizen, who is a great contribution to our society.
A Mother who almost let her kid get hit by a door."
I walked back into the office where this man was, saw him sitting in the waiting room and proceeded to give him the note. "This is for you, Sir. Happy reading!", I announced as he stared blankly at me.
Now I just hope to never run into him again…

Is it just me or do other people have a huge phobia of Dentists? I don't know why I have such a fear of them, but I do know that I'd rather have another baby than go to the Dentist. Actually, now that I think about it, I would even prefer a colonoscopy to having someone put their hands and sharp tools into my mouth. The night before my appointment I have to either consume large amounts of alcohol or take Valium, otherwise I lay awake all night starring at the ceiling. You would think that having a Grandmother that used to be a Dentist would make one MORE comfortable with getting dental work, but in my case I believe that it made me LESS comfortable.
Let me explain. My Grandmother went to dental school right after the War, which might as well have been during dinosaur times. The fact that she never worked on her children or grandchildren was definitely alarming to me, and raised a lot of questions in my head as to why she always referred us to other dentists… She had no problem with fixing other people's teeth, but when it came to us she would state: "I have a very heavy hand and don't want to hurt you." To this day I have absolutely no clue what that means.
Or maybe my brain has ingrained the image of all those Soviet dentists I had to go to as a child. The memory of getting my teeth pulled without Novocain, the pre-historic tools they used, the cavity work without anesthetic, etc… I wonder if any of that has to do with my terrible fear of the dental chair?
I do remember getting out of mandatory visits to the Dentist with my class. For those of you not familiar with how Communism works, apparently the government has the right to decide when and how children are supposed to visit the Dentist, amongst other physicians. Basically, during various times throughout the school year our teacher would take us on a "field trip" to the Dentist. And every year, as soon as I was placed in the dental chair, I would announce that my Grandmother is a practicing Dentist therefore there was no need for my check up. A couple times I did get away with it, but most times I ended up being dragged back there by my Mother the very next day. Let's just say that by forth grade I had developed a file that read DIFFICULT/DEFIANT.
Not only did we have "fieldtrips" to the Dentist, but we also got visited by "nurses" in the beginning of the school year to give out vaccines right there at our desks! Dead, honest truth. They had those Sci-Fi looking guns that shot out a dose of vaccine, which sounded like an air gun going off. It was the scariest thing in the world, and we all dreaded those days when the "nurses" made their rounds through the school. We had other so-called fieldtrips also, to clinics and medical offices to name a few. I wasn't kidding when I wrote awhile back that when my husband got to go on potato chip factories on his fieldtrips, I went on Concentration Camp fieldtrips. But that wasn't until we were much older, more mature and able to comprehend the atrocities of the Holocaust, around the age of twelve or so. More on that later.
Could all of that contribute to my anxiety and debilitating fear of dentists?

Have you heard the breaking news?
Gisele Bündchen, the Victoria's Secret supermodel and a wife of pretty-boy NFL star Tom Brady has announced that she would like to pass a law mandating Mothers having to Breastfeed their babies for a minimum of six (6) months! Yes, the skinny bitch has opened her mouth instead of strutting her starvation-diet, hungry, angry face on the catwalk. Another ignorant woman to make the rest of the women look bad, again! Yes, Ms. Palin I am talking to you.
Like anyone cares about what a Victoria's Secret model has to say… Just look skinny and sexy, strut your perky little B cups on the runway, keep taking lingerie photos for my Victoria's Secret magazine that my husband eagerly awaits for, and we'll all be happy. Don't talk. Don't try and make any kind of illegible and ignorant comments to the media, just be quiet, look hot and collect your millions. We only want to look at you, not hear from you. That's all we, the regular folk ask of you, is that too much? Someone who has a body like yours, one of the hottest husbands in the world (who happens to do everything you tell him to even if that mop on his head makes him the laughing stock of NFL), no real problems and on top of it is a millionaire? How could you possibly understand real women who have real breasts, and real problems with breastfeeding? With everything we know about the health benefits of nursing, don't you think that if everyone could do it, they absolutely would? Way to go you rich, stuck-up idiot to make Mothers feel worse about not being able to breastfeed their babies due to our DDDD-engorged-with-milk-watermelons-that-produce-an-ounce-of-milk-per-hour-per-breast!
Or maybe her real motivation is to teach all babies of the world self-control, discipline and how to properly diet from an early age. Just because your Mother's milk is taking forever to come down into your mouth does not give you the right to cry! It is because your Mother's breasts are not making enough milk for you that you will be lean, thin, angry machine just like Gisele Bündchen and the rest of the models! Babies don't need proper nutrition, and like my six-year-old likes to say: you get what you get, and you don't get upset!
There babies, Mrs. Tom Brady has decided that its better for you to only have an ounce of breast milk at your feedings but be skinny and angry, instead of a full bottle but be fat and happy! There is your logic according to an expert supermodel…
I sure hope to run into her one day! Boy would I love to have a specific word with her.

Before I start, I'd just like to acknowledge that apparently, or should I say allegedly Sarah Palin's knowledge of American history came from her misguided ten-year-old daughter. That or she was raised by wolves in the forest. That is the only explanation that I could find to her unapologetic statements about Paul Revere the other day. Even I, someone who was raised in the Communist Soviet Union where you learned history based upon what the government wanted you to know not what really happened, also learned about Paul Revere's warning calls to the Patriots.
After checking with my fifth grader, it was confirmed that they are still teaching that Revere's midnight ride and warning calls were in fact to the American Patriots, not to the British soldiers. As I have tried to come up with reasons and excuses for why this poor, ignorant woman would make such claims, this is what I've come up with:
1. Palin is just plain stupid. And as my grandma used to say: "You can fix anything, but you just can't fix stupid no matter how hard you try."
2. Sarah Palin has invented her own version of American and Republican history.
3. Palin is really a genius who purposely creates material for Saturday Night Live, so she can claim success of the show as her own.
4. She is undercover for Comedy Central.
5. Nope, she is just plain stupid.
6. She was the only one to come out of her igloo to vote herself into the Governor's office, therefore she has to be right.
7. In America, if you don't have the brains but got the looks, it gives you the right to make up your own version of history.
8. Nope, just plain stupid.
9. She can see Russia from her house!
10. This excerpt from the Katie Couric interview explains it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRkWebP2Q0Y&feature=related
Do we really expect anything different from a woman who can't name a single newspaper, and claims that she knows foreign policy based on the fact that she lives "next door" to Russia, therefore can "spy" on them?

For months, my family and I have been looking for the perfect Congregation to join. Its not easy when you have many needs. I wanted a place where the Rabbi is young and energetic, and has the patience to work with children. A Rabbi who stays current on all that is happening in the world, but relates his services to us that live in America. As much as I sympathize with Israel and the challenges it faces every day, I don't necessarily want to hear about it at every single Shabbat service. I want to learn more about being Jewish, and how to educate my children better, not be constantly reminded how I need to give more to the people of Israel! How much more can I give to the people of Israel? Its enough that every six months I get a call from the Jewish Federation telling me its that time of the year, again. What time is that, you ask? The time of the year when they call the Jews of America to guilt them into giving money to Israel, again. They need my money to plant more trees in Israel. How many f-ing trees do you need in a country the size of Rhode Island?
So after visiting many, we finally decided on a Reform Temple not far from our house; signed away out first born, gave away half of my paycheck and some lunch money for my boy's religious school and were ready to embark on our religious journey. That is until I took my son to my favorite Jewish Doctor, who happened to inform me that the Rabbi of the very same Congregation that we just joined was a philanderer, and had an affair with one of the Congregants. Let me re-phrase it. A very married Rabbi had an affair with one of the women in his Congregation. Now, like I wrote before I do not judge nor condone that behavior. I don't care what he does in his free time, he could be sleeping with five different women for all I care. What I do care about is him continuing to preach about doing the "right thing" in life, being a "good person", "being honest", etc. If he just came out to the whole Congregation and told the truth, I would have no problem listening to his sermons. Otherwise, I have a very big problem listening to him preach about "being a good Jew and a human-being".
How does it happen that out of the myriad of Synagogues out there, we end up picking this one? As much as I love a little drama, chaos and disorder, this is a bit much for my taste. Do we keep going to this Temple pretending like everyone else in Orange County that everything is peachy, or take back our money, our first born and get the hell out of there?

In a fashion and pop culture moment when every other girl with a penchant for Proenza, a computer and a fashion blog gets lucrative beauty and retail deals, we love that New York society maven and style icon Iris Apfel is also getting some collaboration love. Apfel worked with M.A.C.Cosmetics to create a limited-edition line of lipsticks, beauty powder and eye shadows in vibrant shades of red, orange, blue and grey that call to mind what M.A.C. calls a "rare bird" — a description not unlike the lady herself. The collab, launching January 5, is timed for the launch of an exhibit at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art dedicated to the beloved New Yorker. We're all for 2012 being the year of Iris.
Chris Evans came to the Thompson Lower East Side last night to talk all things Gucci fragrance — as the face of both Gucci Guilty and the more recent Gucci Guilty Intense, alongside Evan Rachel Wood. The two make for a steamy pair and star in a new commercial which Evans describes as more of a "short film," directed by Sin City's Frank Miller, with more character development than an everyday fragrance ad where "people roll around in the sand" — though the brooding leather-clad love interest he plays is self-described as "much cooler," than the actor himself. The award-winning Gucci Guilty Intense is similar to its predecessor but pumps up the sensuous undertones by upping the patchouli notes for her and making the pour homme scent even more masculine with higher concentrations of leather notes and amber. Some other fun facts from the evening? The Mert & Marcus shot print campaign was inspired by the cover of "A Star is Born," from Frida Giannini's own collection and Chris Evans says guys like girls in ponytails and sweatpants. Single girls, pull out those hair ties, spritz on some of the scent of hedonism and rebel lovers and don't say we never did anything for you.
Following in the footsteps of fellow style icons Lady Gaga and Miss Piggy, Daphne Guinness is to release a collaboration with makeup innovator MAC Cosmetics. The collection, in stores Dec 26, consists of 21 products, including blushes, lipsticks, and nail varnishes, each in a "cool tone", like a steely gray and an icy pink. Not one to do things by halves, the eccentric Guinness was involved in almost every step of the creation process, from deciding on colors (which were drawn from a mixed bag of influences, from Michaelangelo to outer space), to mixing together powders and watercolours in her Beverly Hills hotel. In fact, the couture collector was so absorbed in it all that she was disappointed to miss out on the final step — "I wanted to be right there in the factory. I would love that. The process is just everything to me" the heiress explains. Daphne Guinness's make-up factory outfit? Now there's something we'd love to see!
Harpers Bazaar mourns the loss of Evelyn Lauder, a legend in the beauty industry who passed away on Saturday, November 12th. She was 75. A devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Lauder was the beloved daughter-in-law of cosmetics trailblazer Estée Lauder, who passed away in 2004.
Mrs. Lauder will be remembered not only for her game-changing contributions to the beauty industry (Heard of a little brand called Clinique? She named it. Ever spritzed on Beautiful or Pleasures? Thats her olfactory magic. And, its just the tip of the iceberg), but also as a passionate, visionary advocate for breast-cancer research, creating the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in 1993 and raising over $350 million for the cause. The pink ribbon campaign was her idea, and is now ubiquitous.
Known as a woman of incomparable grace, integrity and generosity, Mrs. Lauder exuded warmth, charm and quiet strength. Who else could convince heads of state all over the world to bathe their historic landmarks in bright pink light to bring global awareness to breast cancer, an unprecedented act of awareness for the importance of womens health? The White House, Niagara Falls, the Empire State Building and sites all over the world have all shone brightly in the night. In this uneasy world, only Evelyn Lauder could accomplish that.
While Mrs. Lauder has garnered recognition for her philanthropy and public service, she was also a celebrated photographer and an enthusiastic cook, with successful books published on both subjects.
The world has lost a shining light, but Mrs. Lauder will continue to inspire us everyday.

Escada is undergoing a bit of a Renaissance, beginning with naming Karen Schoeller and Daniel Wingatethe brand's design directors in 2009, and what better way to prove it than by highlighting a new scent in the color of the moment pink! To celebrate the launch of Especially Escada, the brand held a luncheon on the rooftop of the Grammercy Park Hotel, which began with chocolate truffles with rose and pear essence. Random? Not to much.
Especially Escada is built around a delicate rose accord, with pear top notes mixed with musky notes of Ambrette seeds it's unabashedly feminine, hence all of that pretty pink. As if all of that weren't pretty enough, the face of Especially Escada, Bar Refaeli, joined the beauty crowd at the table strewn with stunning fuchsia roses. After getting to the heart of her beauty secrets she swears by light blue eyeliner and any product that uses minerals from the Dead Sea the model proclaims she has always been a fragrance girl, and is into this scent in particular. "I love fragrances that are not too heavy, that are not sweet, that you can wear day or night. I love to have a signature scent. Especially Escada is delicate, its sophisticated, its very feminine it really is like my second skin." Especially Escada is on sale now at Sephora, $62 for 1.7 ounces.

It seems that more than nervous anticipation could be detected in the air during Fashion Week this season. The fresh aroma of wild flowers, cut grass and spices swirled about the runways, as fashion designers and their creative team of producers released a mélange of scents to set the mood during the presentations (note to fashion week d.j.s: your days might be numbered). The olfactory offerings were just as varied as the inspirations behind the collections. At Band of Outsiders, Foin Coupe candles from Parisian perfumeur Diptyque were burned to evoke the feeling of the countryside and haystacks while at Rodarte, a custom blend of deep smoky woods, animalic heat, and spice fumes were specially layered together for designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy by fragrance firm 12.29. The latter also conjured up a scent redolent of naïve rosebuds, stemmy green leaves, and moist earth for Jason Wu, which floated around the models wearing a range of verdant, flower-printed designs. But it was at Meadham Kirchhoff where the olfactory bar was raised to brilliant heights. Partnering with the centuries-old Brit perfumer Penhaligons, the adventuresome designers spritzed Artemisia fragrance laced with fruity nectarine, green apple, and violet around the venue filled with pastel balloons, on the models before they walked the runway, and even on the tissue paper in the goody bags in the front row. As the finishing touch to the candy-hued, can-can themed show, dancers applied Artemisia talcum with powder puffs as part of their routine. A charming flourish to which we say, encore.
Metallic nail polish can go either way. Overly shimmery shades can look tacky and too much iridescence can look too young. Heres one you can wear: Estée Lauder in Sage Green ($19), an on-trend, sophisticated hue that looks chic on fingers and toes alike. Remember, keep your nails short and square-shaped and always finish with a high-shine topcoat. Buyer beware: its limited edition, so dont wait!
It's official: time to switch up your body products to accommodate the cooler temperatures and the dry skin that follows. Our pick: Laura Mercier's new Almond Coconut Milk Body Butter ($35) with ingredients like shea butter and grape seed oil, sinks in fast, and offers tons of hydration without that icky sticky feeling. Not a fan of coconut? Try one of three other scents in Fresh Fig, Crème de Pistache, or Crème Brûlèe. Whichever you choose, it's luxury in tube.
Fragrance favorite Bond No. 9 and iconic I LOVE NEW YORK (you know the logo) are uniting their adoration for the Empire State with a collection of scents, appropriately titled, I LOVE NEW YORK by Bond No. 9. The first three bottles ($105, 50 ml) launched last week (one for men, one for women, and one unisex), but stay tuned, because 12 more intoxicating creations are on the way. Here's what it takes to smell like a stylish New Yorker:
For women (pink bottle): mouth watering notes of spicy nutmeg, roses, and vanilla
For men (blue bottle): energetic notes of grapefruit zest, leather, and sandalwood
For all (black bottle): a unisex spicy-woody-floral blend of bergamot, coffee beans, and vanilla
The first thing any makeup artist will tell you when it comes to your lashes: curl them! But even so, the majority of the tiny clamp-like lash curling contraptions available can be intimidating, not to mention scary when held up to your eyeballs. So how to get the luxe lashes seen on model Arizona Muse at Gianfranco Ferrés fall 2011 show? Jouers new folding Eyelash Curler ($14) simplifies the process. Its made of plastic (not scary) and easily unfolds (great for travel or tossing in your bag) into a handle that can be squeezed for a few seconds per lid. The results: a long-lasting curl that gives your mascara a lot of extra oomph.
Application tip: curl your lashes both before and after your mascara (wait for the formula to dry) for maximum lash-enhancing benefits.
Bright lips have been scarcer than usual for a spring/summer season, but designer Anna Sui and makeup artist Pat McGrath did not disappoint. To get the poppy pout just right, it took not one, not two, but a mixture of three lip shades. Cover Girl Lip Perfection Lipcolor in Tempt and Hot were layered and topped off with Anna Sui Lipstick in shade #461. The look is "very done. But the girls can still wear it; it's very now, but with a fantastic 70s feel," McGrath said. Perfect spring makeup.
Would it be Fashion Week without a nail polish trend to obsess over? We think not. The lacquer going head-to-head with gray as the new neutral: creamy beige. Its major! said manicurist Jin Soon Choi of the ethereal hue, which she dipped into for numerous shows, including Doo.Ri, Alexander Wang, and Derek Lam (pictured). A nude cream is timeless in its simplicity, and it goes with any outfit or skintone, she told us. So far, its the most requested color at the New York shows. Bottles put into heavy rotation backstage, and to pounce on quickly before the waitlists ensue, include Estée Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Nude Attitude, a milky beige used at The Row and Derek Lam, and essie Broach the Subject, a warm camel painted on a DKNY by lead manicurist Elle. Its a modern nude, Elle said of the varnish, which bowed this winter. Its bold enough to stand up to the strong colors and designs in the collection, yet its underlying pink tones prevent it from looking yellow on certain skin types. Speaking of wearing it well, the key is to apply multiple coats of these buff polishes otherwise, the impact just isnt there or to go for a multi-dimensional effect, which Elle did at Zac Posen on Sunday. Her technique: bathe the entire nail in essie Demure Vixen, an iridescent cocoa mauve, then apply a single layer of Au Natural, a sheer sandy neutral. The intended result? A glass-like finish thats simply breathtaking, Elle said. Let the obsession begin.
Liz Taylor brows are having a moment on the runways. At
Altuzarra (center), lead makeup artist Tom Pecheux channeled the elegant dame
by painting on a combination of MAC Smolder Eye Kohl and Carbon Eye Shadow to
create a "strong but feminine" shape that hit thickest at the arch and then
tapered a few inches past the outer corners. At Derek Lam (left), Pecheux
accentuated hefty hedges with a swipe of yellow-toned eye shadow and
copper mascara, while at LAMB, Maybelline Global Makeup Artist Charlotte Willer
filled in the area under the arch with Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eye Pencil to sculpt a linear, straight-across effect. All of the looks are
bold and confidant—a fitting tribute in our book.
Makeup artists have always credited the simple cotton swab as a main staple in their beauty kit. How else can you perfect a glossy red pout or extreme cat eye? So when we discovered Almays Oil Free Makeup Eraser Stick we were surprised to learn theyre not your ordinary swabs in fact, they are so exceptional we cant remember how we lived without them. Heres why: each one is marked with a ring that when snapped releases a make-up removing formula (infused with aloe, cucumber and green tea) that flows to the opposite side. The precision of the tip allows for professional-worthy touch ups that remove only the smudges and smears you want without ruining the rest of your eye makeup. Genius! Packaged in a discrete plastic container, theyre easy to throw into everything from your weekender tote to the tiniest clutch. At $5.99 for 24 sticks, you can afford to experiment with new eye makeup...and make a few mistakes.
Karl's broad reach obviously extends to the finger tips. Since Metallic Vamp and onto Jade and Black Pearl, Chanel basically leaves a wait list in its wake every time it launches new nail shades.
To celebrate the brand's unerring influence where all things mani/pedis are concerned, Chanel launched a short film entitled Film Parade, performed to the song "Little Bitty Pretty One" by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers. Some seriously talented hand models put on a Chicago influenced jazzy stage number to highlight some new Fall shades as well as some old favorites that you may have thought were only available on eBay now.
We're partial to Particuliére, Rouge Noir and Pearl Drop, but whatever you're into, Chanel always puts on a good show.
The trick to creating the perfect smoky eye? Less shadow, more liner! Our recommendation: Tarte SmolderEyes Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liners ($25 each). The dual-sided jumbo pencils are equipped with long-lasting pigments that glide on evenly and blend easily for a dramatic end result. We love new shades like Smoldering Olive and Smoldering Fig, which enhance your natural eye color.
Last night at New Yorks Hotel Chantelle, Charlotte Ronsons loyal coterie of musically gifted family members, fashion friends and downtown darlings celebrated her new Charlotte Ronson Beauty line for Sephora. Hosted by Dani Stahl, Drea de Matteo, Eleanor Ylvisaker, Shoshanna Gruss (pictured left with Ronson) and Samantha Ronson (who was unable to fly in from L.A. due to that pesky Hurricane Irene), the evening took place on an open rooftop and featured the deejay stylings of Harley Viera Newton and Cassie Coane.
Hitting shelves this September, this marks the first beauty collection for the designer and what a collection it is. It runs the gamut from eye shadow quads and heart-shaped lip glosses (both of which are inspired by her closest gal pals), to hair products and tinted body lotion. Ive always wanted to do a beauty line, said Ronson while images from the lines photo shoot flashed on multiple flat screens. Theres even some spray that gives your hair that beachy texture and it smells good!
Theres nothing we love more than products that multitask. Case in point: Dr. Dennis Gross Trifix Oil-Free Moisturizer ($35). This lightweight lotion and acne-fighter hydrates your skin while unclogging your pores. With ingredients such as Vitamin D (nourishes thirsty skin) and Farnesol (kills acne-causing bacteria), this two-in-one product is a must before sunscreen in the a.m. and/or before bed. Perfect for hot summer weather!
We can't get enough of Sally Hershberger's Hyper Hydration Super Keratin Spray ($12.50). Since trying it earlier this summer, the moisture charged/conditioning/flyaway-taming/heat protecting remedy has made humid-weather hair styling a whole lot easier. We've found it works wonders spritzed on post-washed, toweled dried hair to detangle our ends without breakage or on dry hair to destroy frizz and soften dehydrated-looking areas. The texture is light and smells refreshing so don't hesitate to make touch-ups throughout the day.
Dakota Fanning was sporting a short, boyish wig on the set of her new movie, Now is Good, that recalled Jennie from the 1995 cult-classic Kids. In her debut movie role, Chloe Sevigny played a New York teenager involved in a sexual circle of HIV set in mid-90s New York. Fanning, on the other hand, stars as a young cancer patient dying of leukemia trying to check off her bucket list, including losing her virginity. A coming-of-age cut, indeed.
Chanel alert! This limited edition, trés chic eye shadow quad, Regard Signé de Chanel in Topkapi ($65) is the perfect choice for creating summery smoky eyes. Used by Chanels makeup artist Peter Philips at the 2011 Pre-Fall show (left), the four shimmery shades in copper, silvery taupe, brown and gold glide on smoothly and suit all skin tones. Available exclusively at Chanel Boutiques and Makeup Studios.

High school swimming notes: Preske proud to put VASJ in pool
Seeing Villa Angela-St. Joseph represented across a variety of sports is nothing new, considering its rich athletic tradition.
One sport in which VASJ is not commonly seen, though, is swimming — at least recently.
That is something Ivy Preske is hoping to change.
Preske competed at the Perry Invitational on Saturday in distance freestyle, taking second in the 500-yard free with a time of 5 minutes, 43.92 seconds and putting in a 2:09.16 in the final heat of the 200 free.
The freshman is the Vikings' lone swimmer right now — joining N-H area schools such as Berkshire, Cornerstone Christian and Wickliffe with having similar circumstances in recent years — but she is optimistic one day she'll have some company sporting a blue capital 'V' on their swim cap.
"I really love VASJ," Preske said. "I shadowed there, and that's my mother's alma mater. I wanted to go there really badly. (Athletic Director Nancy Naujoks) was really great on trying to get this started, and my coach was all for it, trying to get swimming there. She was good, and everything is working out pretty well."
Preske practices with St. Ignatius and is trained by Wildcats coach Jeff Ridler, who formerly served in that capacity in the middle portion of the last decade at North and South. She also trains occasionally with LESD club coach Tim Hable.
"I love practicing with (St. Ignatius) because I don't like losing, especially to boys," said Preske with a smile. "We always push each other to go faster."
Perry marked Preske's second invitational of the season, as she had also traveled with St. Ignatius to the Ned Reeb Invitational at Ohio State in December.
"This is my second one already, and I'm pretty sure I have three more," Preske said. "Then there's sectionals and districts, and I'm hoping to make states." Continued...
Preske knows the challenge that awaits trying to get to Canton in a Division II distance free field paced by reigning 200 and 500 free state champion and Hawken senior Carrie Bencic.
Regardless of what may happen in the new year, though, Preske is excited to give VASJ representation in the sport.
"I'm only a freshman — that's what everyone keeps telling me," Preske said. "I can't be expecting to go Carrie Bencic speed under five minutes. I hope for that, though.
"It's really great. I love it. I love representing VASJ and getting a good name out there for them."
Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin's Victoria Glunt, a returning D-II state qualifier from the Lions' 200 medley relay last winter, won the 200 free Saturday at Perry in addition to the 100 free.
Glunt turned in the winning 200 free time in an opening heat of the event but did not swim in the final heat because she did not have a recorded seed time. Incorrect information was published in Saturday's edition.
-- Other N-H area individual event winners not already included in coverage from the Perry Invitational were NDCL's Michael Crookshanks (200 free), North's Jeff Scavnicky (50 free), West Geauga's Kirstin Boni (200 IM) and Rachyl Anderson (diving), Lake Catholic's Amy Steigerwald (50 free) and Chardon's Amanda Casamatta (100 butterfly).
-- Area coaches are asked to submit updates for N-H weekly leaders should they have qualifying performances that do not appear on the list. Most times are compiled from the Northeast District leaders on swimmeet.com, but this does not account for every time that would qualify for N-H leaders. Coaches received an email last week with the current list requesting additions.

A couple of friends and my husband and I recently rented a condo for vacation in North Myrtle Beach, SC. It was a sunday night and we decided to order a pizza and some breadsticks. We ordered the pizza around 9:45PM and we were told that the pizza would arrive in 40 minutes or less. We were also charged a delivery charge. The pizza did arrive until almost 2 HOURS later at 11:30PM. We did not complain to the gentlemen who delivered it, but since it was so late (and the cheese was then cold) and we had been charged a delivery charge, we decided not to leave a tip. We thought nothing else about it until today, when we checked our charge card (our friends placed it on their charge card, and we gave them cash for 1/2 the order) that the Pizza Hut delivery man WROTE HIMSELF A $7 TIP ON OUR CHARGE CARD. NOT ONLY IS THE FRAUD BUT ITS STEALING AND ILLEGAL TO WRITE IN MORE MONEY ON SOMEONE'S CARD THEN THEY AUTHORIZED. WE ARE ENRAGED. We plan to call the CEO or whomever we need to in order to have something done about this, even the cops if necessary. If this situation is not fixed this will be the LAST time we buy anything from this company (among other appropriate action) if they have employees, who write in a 40% tip for themselves illegally or someone else's money. I worked in the service industry and have had to work for tips and if you don't provide good service you don't get a tip, that doesn't mean you steal from people, we are totally disgusted by it. I would like this to be brought to the attention of Pizza HUt and have their manager, ceo, whomever handle the situation appropriately. I would like Pizza Hut to reimburse us the full amount that we paid for our pizza and breadsticks as well as the unauthorized tip the delivery man gave himself and other actions to earn back our confidence in them as a company so we don't boycott and encourage others to boycott the company.
i'd suggest, as others have i am sure, reporting the theft to yourcredit card company. i would also suggest that, for future reference, where it says "tip"write down "no tip" or "cash"
This happened to me once, although it was in the store, left a tip onthe table, went to pay for the pizza with my debit card, when itposted I noticed someone gave themselves a 10 dollar tip. I did call that Pizza Hut, of course they said they would check intoit etc etc etc. About a year later I got the 10 bucks back into my account. Now its either cash or check.
"We plan to call the CEO or whomever we need to in order to havesomething done about this, even the cops if necessary." = Whathappened when you called the CEO?
Just to be sure it doesn't happen again, next time when you pay withyour credit card and want to leave either no tip on it or tip in cash,write the word "CASH" on the tip line. Then there's not a blank spacefor anyone to fill in on their own. Good luck.
Two things: 1. Why didn't you just contact the manager of that location? 2. Contact your credit card company to dispute the charge.
It surprises me that nobody has mentioned this. Has the charge posted to your account, or it is simply "pending"? Many times, restaurants will authorize an additional amount to thecard in addition to the purchase price in anticipation of a tip. Thisway, when a tip is left, it is not possible for the tip or a portionof the tip to be declined. When the charge posts, the correct amount is charged and the remainderof the authorization is released. Not all places do this, but somewill. Check your statement or online statement to see whether or not this ispending. If it is pending, wait until it posts to take furtheraction. If it has posted and is indeed too high, further action is mostcertainly warranted as it is unacceptable for drivers to add tips topeoples credit card receipts.
Clearly, you are able to go online from your location. Find a local pizza place, and actually DRIVE there. You will have ahot, fresh pizza in shorter time. The local pizza will likely be ofhigher quality than anything you'd get from Pizza Hut. Of course, you will tip at least 10% when you pick up the pizza andbreadsticks. And you'd hope that the previous renters of your unittipped as well.
The best solution is to call your credit company, explain thesituation, and dispute the additional amount that you believe that youshould not have been charged. There should be no problem in being refunded the amount in dispute. You might also want to call the restaurant, and explain what happenedto the manager, and no one else, so that the restaurant can look intothe problem and provide a solution to protect future customers.
It sounds like you phoned in your order. When the pixxa arrived, youshould have been presented with a credit card slip which needed to besigned. Said slip would also have had "Tip" and "Total" lines. Didyou fill these out completely? Did you politely ask why the deliverytook so long and give the driver a chance to explain? The delivery charge does NOT go to the driver. The delivery charge ismerely a "convenience surcharge" that goes into the coffers of thestore. The drivers still have to pay for their own gas, insurance,and wear and tear on their vehicles. Please do NOT not tip the driver merely because the store owners aretoo cheap to be up front about their charges. The drivers work justas hard, and under much more dangerous conditions than just about anywait people out there.
I have never had such a thing happen, but in a case like this it seemslike disputing the charge with the CC company would apply. Perhaps a call to the store, telling them that you plan to do thisunless the overcharge is removed is in order. You might demand thewhole bill back, but it would be nice to at least get the $7.
In your scenario, I think you would be safer giving up your cash. Thieves are more likely to kill you if you dont have anything thancredit card receipts Good Day
I think you need to tell that to the pizza driver in my area who waskilled for $30 in cash.

Hello. I've responded to your post regarding tire sizes. Thanks for catching the OEM versus OE issue on my Topic :-). I've sent a buddy request -- you are a detail person and as a retired Engineer, I like that trait. Tks - Dan
Actually there reallly are some very smart people in government. The problem is more because they have to "protect" the public purse. Not that they always do but most do try. The main problem is the number of rules and regulations that get in the way. Most business types try to bypass the extra costs involved. Personally I'm a firm believer in the "KISS" formulae. Keep It Simple Stupid!
Great post on waiving the Jones Act!
Great ideas - using the black box data to time lights.
That's so true, what drpepperTX quoted you on a while back as well. You see many things that quite a few of us do. Yet, more are still willing to part with more money for the government, and they don't need it or deserve it out of my or our pockets. Make them accountable more for what they have and work with first.
"Unions are mostly concerned with their own importance and influence." My, you must not like unions or something? Me, I can live with 'em or without 'em and quite frankly, their leadership sucks just like in politics and in government.
"Clearly a dollar earned is worth much more than a dollar taxed. Proof? Anything you buy with earned dollars buys more than anything the government buys with taxed dollars." Very well said!
Oh, BTW, that topic is currently at the top of the "Suggest a website improvement" category.
Hey GrumpyCat, I noticed your post in the "Stop posting diesel..." thread, about deleting the fields for fuels a station doesn't offer and thought you might want to get in on the conversation in the thread I had started on that very topic: "Only display price fields for fuels with boxes "checked" in MSL." It's been a pretty productive, staying on topic thread, so far, so you might find it a worthwhile read. Who knows, it might even stimulate a thought or two you want to add. Just wanted to give you a heads up, in case you hadn't noticed the thread. I'd sure love to see the change.

Back for his 8th RUN, we are excited to welcome back Detroit artist Camilo Pardo with this year's Official Grand Prix 2012 Artwork. Read on as we take a look at Camilo's past RUNs over the past 2 years…
Location: Detroit, Mi
Camilo's paintings and drawings speak to both his love for linear perfection and his fascination for the manner in which those lines deliver aesthetic satisfaction to the viewer. His works genuinely seem to move and they are energized by what is obviously a rich understanding and respect for popular culture and traditional disciplines. In less talented hands, such a seeming contradiction of forces would negate the best efforts. Camilo makes them reconcile, complement each other and dance together.

Norfolk Southern, which has a significant midstate presence, is seeking applicants to fill about a dozen diesel mechanic and electrician positions at its Enola locomotive shop, said company spokesman Dave Pidgeon.
The company has seen growing demand for freight rail service, he said. It reported a 6 percent increase in operating revenue for the first quarter of 2012. General merchandise revenue jumped 13 percent compared with the same year-ago quarter, while intermodal revenue improved 9 percent.
Norfolk Southern has hired more than 900 people since January.
On the construction side, the railroad's Franklin County intermodal terminal is expected to open by the end of 2012, Pidgeon said. The project's budget is $97 million. Norfolk Southern is receiving about $45 million from the commonwealth to help cover the cost.
When completed, the facility will have the capability to handle 85,000 annual trailer lifts, Pidgeon said.
In April, the company began construction of an operational expansion project at its Harrisburg intermodal facility. That project is slated to cost $28 million and will add 448 parking spots and 5,300 feet of track, Pidgeon said.
Norfolk Southern also is proceeding with plans to expand operations at its Rutherford facility in Swatara Township. The $60.5 million project is in the planning phase, Pidgeon said.
The railroad operator trades its stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NSC.

- Give some kind of attack option that falls between a normal attack and auto-attack.
- This can come in many different ways. See below:
- Allow players to choose the number of attacks to roll with a box to type in.
- Give a button or multiple buttons with various numbers of rolls on them. For instance, 1 Roll, 5 Rolls, 20 Rolls, etc.
- Allow players to choose how many troops they want to lose/end with.
- Allow players to choose how many troops they want to take away.
- There are probably more options
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
- Sometimes you may want to only weaken a territory or see how well you roll at the beginning before finishing an attack.

Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)
Topic Overview
What is atopic dermatitis?
Reference Atopic dermatitis Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window, sometimes called eczema, is a skin problem that causes dry skin, intense itching, and then a red, raised rash. It's most common in babies and children. It cannot be spread from person to person.
Some children with atopic dermatitis outgrow it or have milder cases as they get older. Also, a person may get atopic dermatitis as an adult. For some people, atopic dermatitis may be a long-lasting (chronic) skin problem that requires more than one treatment.
What causes atopic dermatitis?
The cause of atopic dermatitis isn't clear, but it affects your skin's ability to hold moisture. Your skin becomes dry, itchy, and easily irritated.
Most people who have atopic dermatitis have a personal or family history of allergies, such as hay fever (Reference allergic rhinitis Opens New Window) or asthma.
Things that may make atopic dermatitis worse include:
- Reference Allergens Opens New Window, such as dust mites or animal dander.
- Harsh soaps or detergents.
- Weather changes, especially dry and cold.
- Stress.
- Certain foods, such as eggs, peanuts, milk, wheat, fish, or soy products, if you are allergic to them. Food allergies trigger atopic dermatitis more commonly in babies and children than in adults.
- Skin infection.
What are the symptoms?
The main symptom of atopic dermatitis is itching, followed by rash. The rash is red and patchy. It may be long-lasting (chronic) or may come and go (recurring). Tiny bumps that look like little blisters may appear and ooze fluid or crust over. Scratching can cause the sores to become infected. Over time, a recurring rash can lead to tough and thickened skin.
Mild atopic dermatitis affects a small area of skin, isn't very itchy, and usually goes away with moisturizer. Severe atopic dermatitis covers a large area of skin that is very itchy and doesn't go away with moisturizer.
People tend to get the rash on different parts of the body, depending on their age. Common sites include the face, neck, arms, and legs. Rashes in the groin area are rare.
How is atopic dermatitis diagnosed?
A doctor can usually tell if you have atopic dermatitis by doing a physical exam and asking questions about your past health.
Your doctor may advise allergy testing to find the things that trigger the rash. Allergy tests can be done by an allergist (immunologist) or dermatologist.
How is it treated?
Mild atopic dermatitis can be treated at home.
- Moisturize often. Creams and ointments work better than lotions.
- Avoid things that trigger rashes, such as harsh soaps and detergents, dander, and any other things you are allergic to.
- Control scratching. You may want to cover the rash with a bandage to keep from rubbing it. Put mittens or cotton socks on your baby's hands to help prevent him or her from scratching.
- Use medicine prescribed by your doctor.
- Bathe with lukewarm water and for short periods.
But if your symptoms are bothering you and aren't getting better, see your doctor. Getting medical treatment early may keep your symptoms from getting worse.
In severe cases, your doctor may prescribe pills or give you a shot to stop the itching. Or you may get ultraviolet (UV) light treatment at a clinic or doctor's office.

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Bush Furniture Series C Executive U-Shape Wood Desk in Mahogany:
I was looking for a big enough desk that would accommodate my storage needs with a desk but not to large to over take my office in the den. This desk was the perfect fit for me. I love the sturdiness of the desk. If you are looking for a desk that will allow you to have an executive desk but at a decent price; this desk is for you!
Looks nice, weighs a ton

About Me Budget Shopper
Sharp looking unit when assembled. Made of material that is ultra heavy and must be lifted to be moved as pushing or pulling it will break pieces easily, so assemble exactly where you want to have the unit or plan on bringing an army to move it.[...]
As advertised!

Quality made desk. Very Sturdy. I am very happy with it, but wouldn't mind a little more drawer space.

The space this desk provides is amazing! But, it does consume a room. I have room for the kids to work; for me to work; and love the cork board to hand things on!
