Image Matters

My husband and I have as different interest in TV and movie subject matters as we have in our professions. He a Dr. of geophysics and I, a trained photojournalist ending up as an image consultant, but when it came to Boston Legal the differences disappear and there was no doubt what we will watch.

The show created by the active and intelligent mind addressed the issues of a very sensitive nature with an open-minded approach while laced with a hilarious sense of humor.

With a two hour finale, yet another successful ending for the show’s producer and ever so ageless David E. Kelley.

Tuesday, the Emmy Award winning cast of “Boston Legal” took its last bow with another spectacular performance by all.

While at times a little to preachy, James Spader’s character Alan takes apart the Supreme Court justices and with passionate delivery, Spader’s and Shatenr’s charters dance their last dance, they really do, dance, into the night. The End!

Unfortunately the show didn’t generate high enough numbers to keep it alive. Why it would? It requires one to engage the thinking process. This shouldn’t be surprise when we, the citizens of this country, elected George W. Bush for two terms. DUUUH!

After five seasons of great entertainment which hopefully has awaken in us a new level of awareness and accountably for the state of this country, we also witnessed some outstanding fashion statements.

PS I know this will get some of my Republican friends annoyed .:-)

As the summer days get shorter and days of frolicking freely in the sun, bicycling, sailing and running in the sand come to a close, let’s pay attention and repair some of the damage left from the summer.

1. Get your skin examined.
Don’t postpone it, do it now. Melanoma does not exclude anyone, it is the most common form of cancer among women between 25 and 29.

2. The sun block continues…..
Don’t get fooled that only summer rays damage your skin. Don’t put your sun block away with your swimming suit. Snow reflects 40% of the sun’s burning rays. While you are taking care of your face, don’t neglect the most exposed part of your body, your hands (they will give your age away before anything else does).

I have spent a fortune on most famous label names of lotions and creams and found Neutrogena’s products absolutely fabulous. To avoid the sun altogether use their sunless tanning lotion which has SPF 8.

3. Visit a great hair stylist.
Get rid of sun and chlorine damaged ends and try a new hair style for the fall. Lengths are longer, more feminine, and colored. We’re seeing true autumn colors of soft maple golds, acorn caramels, and chestnuts browns.

5. Get a new moisturizer.
Don’t ignore your skin and this includes you too gentleman, please and make sure to eliminate skin drying agents such as alcohol and witch hazel. Look for moisturizers with ingredients such as vitamins A and E, aloe vera, sunflower oil, and glycerin.

6. Walk, walk, walk and some more walk!!!
No matter what time of the year, always walk everywhere you can, park your car as far as you can and walk, walk, walk, you are never too large, too skinny, too young or too old, or anything too much, to walk. The fact is women today die from heart attacks as frequently as men, take your partner by the hand and go for a walk.

7. Last and not least, let’s weed out your closets, donate to charity what you haven’t used for the last two years and finally lets update your existing wardrobe with exusite styles and bring your wardrobe up to date.

Wishing you a year filled with peace and abundance.
