Customer is Right? July 7, 2006
What ever happened to the idea that the customer is ALWAYS right? Honestly, over the past two days I have noticed a lack of concern for my consumer money.

Was that an insult? March 7, 2006
Have you ever been the recipient of a comment that made you wonder if it was a compliment or an insult? Today a student told me I did not look like myself. Instead, I looked “teachery”. Was that an insult? Does that mean I normally look good, but today I looked “teachery”? Or, does it mean I normally look bad and today I looked “teachery”?
And what is so “teachery” about Cole Haan sling backs, a pair of black JCrew favorite fit wool slacks, an untucked white JCrew button down, and a coral JCrew cotton sweater vest?
Thank you very much.
Trend Watching February 13, 2006
There are some questions for which there can never be a satisfying answer – the one that plagues me the most is this: If a trend was unflattering the first time, why repeat it? Honestly, skinny jeans that taper at the ankle only exaggerate the size of a woman’s hips and tush. My eternal quest is to make both of those disappear. Tucking your pants into your boots only amplifies the before-mentioned areas – I think it may be even more unattractive than simply wearing skinny jeans.
Straighter, Shinier Hair February 10, 2006
What’s the hottest, newest look this season? Wavy hair! Embrace your curls! No, we’re not talking about big, 1980’s hair; we’re talking about soft, flowing waves. Of course, this look is the most difficult to master. To help you conquer this look, follow these tips.
If you have long (at least two inches below your shoulders) hair:
1. Begin with slightly dirty (but not greasy or product filled) hair.
2. Set your hair using the larger-sized hot rollers.
3. Cover your hair with a shower cap to keep the steam in.
4. The longer you leave the roller in, the better. Aim for at least 15 minutes.
5. Lightly spray your hair with hairspray & let dry
6. Gently remove the rollers. Without disturbing your hair too much, run your fingers through your hair to break up the curls.
If you have shorter hair:
Straighten it or let it air dry for natural waves and clip it back with barrettes or a headband.
Short Hair + Hot Rollers= Big Hair!
