“Eye Want It….Eye’ve Got To Have It”!

I received a newsletter in the mail from a local spa singing the praises about Latisse a prescription medication that is applied topically, like eyeliner, at night that grows your eyelashes to unbelievable lengths and fullness. The active ingredient was originally in glaucoma medication and they found the side effects were great lashes. The photos are amazing! There is a dramatic difference at week 8 but at week 16 there is a 78% significant increase in length, fullness and darkness-… [Read More]

The Hub on Main Street has a webcam that… [Read More]

A Bridal Bone To Pick

Having 2 sons I am never going to be the mother-of-the-bride and the best I can hope for is being involved on the girlie fringes with my lovely nieces. My first niece to be married this summer, “Hammie Pie”, (aka “Hammie” because her initials are HAM) has given me the dubious honor of throwing a bridal bone my way. That’s right! I get to do a bridal task or at least give my ideas and opinion! I am thrilled but… [Read More]

The Rite of Spring

In 1913 the Russian composer, Igor Stravinsky, premiered The Rite of Spring (English translation). Saying it caused quite a stir, would be putting it mildly. It caused an all out riot. The rhythms were primitive and asymmetrical. There was discord and dissonance in the melodies. The dance was violent depicting wild pagan rituals. Fistfights broke out among the audience. The Paris police were summoned and the composer who fled the theater mid-scene was reported to be inconsolable. I feel Igor’s… [Read More]
